Electronic Beats Presents Ellen Allien and James Holden in Budapest in review

After a completely sold out Electronic Beats Festival in Budapest, the party went on with another sold out gig, a friendly VS match of Ellen Allien (BPitch Control) and James Holden (Border Community) and their six hour-long DJ battle turned out to be a killer dance craziness.

Warming up the crowd in the former factory Millenáris, the NVC DJs Sinko, Tempo! and Subotage primed our feet ready for dancing. Arriving first, Border Community mastermind James Holden got much love from the excited audience. During his set he gave us a deep insight into his genius musical mind and DJ skills and the folks almost didn’t want to let him go rewarding Holden with a huge applause before Ellen Allien took over.

Never enough! That was also the case with BPitch Control chief Ellen Allien, who played a three hour marathon set as well being called back to the stage over and over again, and so she played her amazing choice of beats until the very end of the night. Thank you Budapest for a great night, see you next year, prepare your dancing shoes!
