The sets that changed everything
You’ve likely already heard it, but some of dance music’s most legendary sets have taken place within the rooms you’re standing in right now. From Alfredo’s pioneering Balearic Beat sets to Honey Dijon’s bittersweet sunrise on the Terrace, these are some of the Amnesia sets that changed the game.
DJ Alfredo, 1985
A rare insight into the mastery of the father of Balearic Beat; opening with a typical curveball in the form of Howard Jones’ ‘Look Mama’, before blistering through the Eurythmics, Anne Clark, Mandigo and more through this recording’s hour-long expanse. History In audio.
Carl Cox, Opening Party, 1992
Blinding strobes, all hands in the air and a drop of D.H.S anthem ‘The House of God’; legendary moment for a legend of the game.

Papa Sven shared the decks with his regular b2b partner Luciano in July 2014 and memories were made; rapturous hats, frenzied screams from the crowd… it’s got it all.
Four Tet, Pyramid, July 2019
Having been drawn in by a clip of Maceo Plex playing his ‘Opus’ remix in 2015, Four Set made his own debut at Amnesia, taking the crowd into new territory with his UKG, dubstep and pop edit-heavy set.
Honey Dijon, Amnesia Opening Party, May 2024
That feeling when you know it’s probably time for bed.. but, god. The tunes won’t let you. Honey Dijon’s legendary set at Amnesia’s closing party in 2024 is that on steroids; Chicago flair meets White Isle hedonism. Unforgettable.
