So insane ❤️ the classic god ✔️

[@MrIvexOfficial]

I will never forget the moment that i walked up stage and saw all you great people. Thank you! A special thanks to Sefa and Q-Dance, for giving me this incredibly joyful experience.

[@DjSwiti]

Wow. An orchestra, a choir and a piano in this kind of festival..... This is insanely well orchestrated WELL DONE !

[@paulduckworth316]

💯

[@staticminimal]

This is the hardest shit you can even think of, and they pulled it off like it was nothing 😂 Especially in that Genre, they did the impossible. Fkn Genius. We will never see a show like this again, ever.

[@Matfridt]

What Sefa is doing these days is absolutely unreal. He's somehow managed to take what Peacock does, but made it even bigger, more grandiose and adding all his own elements without it actually being that similar to Peacock. I don't think many realise how insane it is to seamlessly blend rave culture, heavy metal, classical music, all while being packaged and presented as something so formal, yet in reality it's really just as casual and informal as any other rave. AND IT WORKS. Sefa is gonna own this entire scene sooner rather than later, he's the single most talented guy within the harder styles

[@Grahzzyhardcore]

removed my commet.

[@Matfridt]

@@Grahzzyhardcore fair, fair

[@Matfridt]

@Rayen He might've passed Peacock, yeah, but I still wanna take a conservative approach before dethroning Peacock just yet. Peacock changed the game, Sefa takes it even further. Incredible stuff regardless

[@Megalodon1986]

He was very much involved in a lot of the succes of Peacock, so I'm not really surprised!

It's incredible what they did for this set. Normal Djs come and play their set like normal djs. Sefa makes a show with so many crazy things. Piano, orchestra, choir and whatever instruments out of his songs. 5-6 years ago he was a young newcomer with a really nice style and now he is the king of defqon 1

[@IRantweekly]

Its because his minds still free and hasnt been programmed like the rest still has creativity

[@cynikov]

saw your insta story and thought i’d leave another comment because you look at them. just wanna let you know that i’ve been struggling with many setbacks such as loss of a parent due to drug addiction, a non verbal twin brother, severe depression other mental illnesses for years now, and i’m 16. you have genuinely given me reason to wake up every morning and have hope. your music is unlike anything i’ve heard, and seeing the happiness in the crowds at your performances makes me realize there is reason to keep going. you seem so happy to do what you do everyday, and i strive to be like that. i’ll be in that crowd someday, though i’m still in america and high school, lol. even on my worst days, i just put in my airpods and blast some sefa! thank you so much sefa. sending love from america 🇺🇸 ❤️

[@DavetheRaveDinkum]

Sefa changed my life when I 1st saw him at HTID in Sydney 2018, altho I've listened to rave music since 94, somehow I had never noticed or possibly had never even heard Frenchcore, from that moment on my love of the harder styles grew even more, this was a fresh new sound for me, it was like I'd been sleeping for a decade and was woken suddenly ❤️ #vivelafrenchcore 🤘😝🤘

The endshow of Festival Intents 2023 MUST BE SUNRISE! BEST ANTHEM OF THE WORLD

[@staticminimal]

Just for the understanding, what we've seen here, this show was a Masterpiece that we'll never see again, ever. The Arrangement with Orchestra, Choir, Bands, all mixed together with that kind of Genre is the hardest shit you can even think to pull off. They didn't just did that. I would never believe someone is able to do that, and they did it flawlessly fkn perfect. Genius.

I'm 41, from Belgium still love Hardstyle some of my favorites Re-Style, Sefa, Korsakoff, Remzcore etc. Living a full life with 3 kids sometimes the flame/energy goes out slowly, but these songs "reignite my inner flame" ! 😈 Energy builds up jumping around like a 20y old 🤡 At festivals which I still attend a few times a year, everytime the question from some youngsters "How old are you?" OLD ENOUGH to be your father 😂 doesn't matter be as 1 and lets dance the night away ❤

[@fueruarubaina8666]

En una ocasión hablando con un Dj famoso del estilo Mákina y Hardcore. Le comenté que aparte de la música Mákina y el Tekno-Harcore. También le dije que me gustaba la música clásica. Y el me dijo que vaya mezcla más rara. Y yo le dije que tenía muchos sentimientos esa música y te hacía volar. Nos reímos de ello. Ahora es el día que esa mezcla se ha hecho posible. Me encanta el French Core y lírica. Mientras escribo esto tengo escalofríos y piel de gallina. Lo que se dice: Sentimientos a flor de piel . Ahh!! Y soy un padre de familia con media década vivida. Un saludo a todos los que sienten lo mismo que yo.

[@CJWarlock]

I. Am. Speechless. The best proper pack of wholehearted joy, love, freedom and energy in a frenchcore style I've heard so far during my 28 years in hardcore. :D Beautifully put together with the orchestra and the choir.
