If your excitement for Sensation Innerspace 2011 is at a lull, read this:
This summer, Sensation presents to you Innerspace – the world within. Let us guide you on a spiritual journey to enlightenment. Innerspace is an adventurous journey through the seven stages of enlightenment.
Spirituality can be found on the dancefloor: no past, no future, celebrating the now. Sharing a collective consciousness of our own inner beauty, we are presented with a Sensational experience.
Welcome to Innerspace. Hit the jump for a look at the lineup.
Having already hit its home in Amsterdam, Sensation is gearing up to delight the eyes and ears of 20,000+ at Palau St. Jordi in Barca. I’m glad to say that since its start in 2001, musically the event has transformed from a strictly trance event to more of a House-friendly sound. A lot of people have seemed to express a lack of interest in the line-up largely because they have no idea who the f+ck is playing, so here’s a quick look at what to expect:
Mr. White 10:00 PM – 11:00 PM
As Sensation’s resident DJ, Mr. White will serve as the host for the night as well as the opening act. He’s somewhat of a mystery that’s been cracked, with all signs leading to De Man Zonder Schaduw. If you don’t mind spoilers check his set from Sensation Amsterdam below.
Wally Lopez 11:00 PM – 12:10 AM
Madrid’s Wally Lopez has been dubbed Spain’s finest DJ and will get the opportunity to play in front of a home crowd on the 8th. Like the other artists on the bill, he’s got some years of experience — been producing since people were freaking out about Y2K. His style tends towards progressive house without the fist pumping aspect.
Sharam12:20 AM – 1:30 AM
Sharam Tayebi is one half of the DC-based Techno/House duo Deep Dish. These dudes have been putting out music since ’95, remixing the likes of Dido, Fleetwood Mac, N’Sync, Coldplay and even collecting a Grammy along the way. Needless to say, Sharam’s years of experience will be pretty apparent when he’s orchestrating the movements of thousands. He was given a spot on Pete Tong’s legendary Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1 and his was even voted best of that year (’09). If you’re unfamiliar with how great Essential Mixes can be, I urge you to get familiar. (this, this, this, and this)

Fedde Le Grande 1:30 AM – 2:50 AM
Most widely known for the club anthem “Put Your Hands Up For Detroit,” Fedde has reached as high as #21 on DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJ Poll. He boasts a long list of tracks and the pages on his passport have been filled up many times over. Expect lots of energy with his set.

Sunnery James and Ryan Marciano 2:50 AM – 4:00 AM
If Progressive House is your cup of tea, look no further. These two products of the Netherlands have played alongside Swedish House Mafia and even rocked Sensation 2010 in Amsterdam. Check the recap of last year’s performance.
Juan Sanchez and Daniel Sanchez4:00 AM – 5:00 AM
Closing out the night is another dutch Duo that’ll get the crowd going with bumpin’ Techno/House. Check the video below for more insight and some clips of their previous set at Sensation ’10.
