- Watch the full set: • This Is Sefa | Defqon....
Listen to the soundtrack: sefamusic.ffm....
Follow Sefa’s musical journey towards his biggest show to date: Defqon.1 2022.
In this documentary “Sefa: The Road To Defqon.1” we follow Sefa up close from his first appearance at Defqon in 2017 at 16 years old, his legendary ‘Black stage’ performance in 2018 where the area was completely overrun by fans, his 2019 closing of the main stage and finally this year's already legendary performance during the ‘Opening Ceremony’ of the RED stage in which he turned the hard dance scene upside down with the addition of live strings, a drummer, a guitarist, a 45 piece choir and himself - not behind the DJ booth, but behind his piano and as a conductor of his own show: “This Is Sefa”.
We hear the testimonies of his fans, collaborateurs, partners and friends. Depicted by cameraman and director of this documentary Auke Brinkman who followed Sefa around with his camera since the early days, capturing every aspect of his life.

Hi everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed watching this film as much as I enjoyed creating it. From the moment we started with the production in May, until we premiered it in the cinema in December: I’ve put everything into this project, and it was an absolute amazing experience.
I am incredibly honoured by the amazing reactions so far. It wouldn’t have been possible without a whole team behind this film and of course you guys. Thank you.
heel veel respect! Goede docu neer gezet! om trots op te mogen zijn!
Need English subtitles please 🙏
Trots op je!
Wat voor een avontuur heb ik meegemaakt in anderhalf uur. Super tof gedaan!
@@michaeledge430 turn on CC
Red stage sefa komt op en hij draai "nothing like the oldskool " kippevel moment insane
Betere opening bestaat niet
Hij heeft praktisch niks gedaan, tis een pre recorded set
@@ThehcQ bewijs?
@@carwashgaming3727 hij staat tijdens een overgang van track naar de volgende track op de dj booth 😆
@@ThehcQ doe ff link. En time stamp. Nu word het interessant
So many goosebumps throughout this. Sefa is a legend! His music make me feel butterflies in my stomach. He has changed the scene forever
Saw the release of the Documentary of Thunderdome at the Cinema. Wanted to see this epic Docu there aswell. Great stuff Sefa and thanks for sharing!
Unbelievable how an artist can impact someone's emotion by thinking outside the box and create something you didn't knew you needed.
So much respect to everybody within the production of these performances. Same goes for the set with Peacock on the boat. Insanely well produced and thought through. Keep doing these amazing things and let us all enjoy these creative moments together. Making memories which last forever.
Remember being at that set back in 2017. And realising I haven't achieved much since then.
Don't waste your time kids. Never hesitate or postpone your dreams and vision.
Great documentary!
Einfach nur riesen Respekt an dich Sefa und vielen Dank dass du uns mit deiner Musik beschenkst :)
Music is the greatest kind of art in this world.
This kids talent is more pure than gods own words.
Voor vele jaren luisterde ik naar hardstyle en daarvoor hardcore. Ik was onderdeel van de golden years of hardstyle waar veel classic hardstyle feesten naar refereren. Veel weerstand voelde ik telkens bij de hedendaagse hardstyle door de vaak ‘lege zeehond kick’ en in mijn optiek veel minder euforie.
Maar echt Sefa… ik heb jou “This is Sefa” set op defqon zo vaak met vele momenten van kippenvel geluisterd. Wat een muziekaal hoogtepunt hoe je met zo veel respect uiteenlopende muziekgenres bijÉÉN brengt ❤ Wat een eenheid, puurheid, tederheid, rauwheid en energie. Werkelijk die violiste is de kerst op de taart, die snaren raken elke vezel in mijn lichaam tijdens haar solos ❤ Bedankt voor het samenbrengen van deze talenten !
I was there! Best day of my life.
The work done by Q-Dance, Sefa & his musicians is out of this world. Thank you for sharing the hard workings beasts in front & behind the scene. Hyped for Defqon this year and hope it doesn’t rain 😂
I traveled more than 24 hours to see you, from Chile to Biddinghuizen and completely worth it bro!!! :) the singers the acapella parts, all was magical, believe me. I was in front row seeing Sefa and blowed my mind!!! thanks Nina, Qdance and all the chorus involved.
I´m so proud of Sefa.. I love her tracks so much...
Were is DEFQON.1 2023?
CANT WAIT TO WATCH IT FOR A SECOND TIME!!!!
Really happy to see this documentary...I'm on 50th now ... great level of my life ... with the passion for music and all the audio's physical field ( Uk Alchemea's engineer for music & broadcast TV from the 1998 ) ...a life spent for that....GREAT musician first ... dj & composer ... Have a great life my Friend! ... Greetings from Italy .
😛😜🤪
i remember being in that small red defqon tent on the night from thursday to friday, and let me tell you it was not fun but me and my mate knew that when friday comes we will be at the opening of the red to witness this masterpiece. and to see the amount of effort that was put into this set amazes me and makes me feel honoured to have witnessed this set with my very own eyes. TY to Sefa and the crew and i know this is only the start of the rise.
The 2017 defqon set is and will forever be legendary🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Heard Seva live first in 2018 - was harddddddddd - even got a selfie with him - absolute legend and crazy talent - much love
geweldig om te zien hoe sefa is veranderd van een simpele jongen die van hardstyle houd naar hoe hij op de RED bij defqon.1 staat. insane. by far mijn favoriete artiest
Een legende in de muziek wereld! Muziek maken is een ding maar het vertalen van je gedachte in beats... Sefa je bent groots. #respect !

😂😂
genius, sense of belonging, love and passion for music.... That is SEFA❤️
Incredible documentary! The tension and pressure could be felt through the screen. It almost felt like I had to perform on the red myself

This documentary shows what can be done if you believe in yourself . Unbelievable what Defqon brings to life and gives artists the chance, Sefa who will continue on his path and will always surprise us with new things. Strong insight from all sides what we as a visitor never get. THANK YOU all !

wow. what an documentary. love it
Sefa defqon 2019 is my favourite set ever!!!
This is Sefa! The Mozart of the 21st century!
wow, incredible , you do an amazing job, thank you!
Man I think you will climb totally to the top. Not just in the hard dance scene. I have the feeling, that you will make frenchore huge. Many many people who never heared about frenchcore will (and also already do now naturally) listen to it because of you. I think in a few years hard dance becomes mainstream, more and more people are listening to it, cause its just the most energetic that you can get in my opinion. Its just that, like it is with everything, people were not ready when it got created and began to develope, only a few freaks, and then freaks became groups and groups became masses and then it goes someday kinda mainstram or liked by a lot of different people, also not in the scene, thats what I think. And thats cool. I am excited about what comes after, how edm music will develop. There has to come some new technology and new hearing upgrades for the humans. For example maybe scientists discover how we can hear til 40kHz and down to 1Hz and they invent new speaker that go down to -12db, so you do not only got pushed away but also pulled to the speakers like the water down the toilet, and the producers can create soundwaves that we can til this point not imagine that its physically possible and it will a completely new experience, kinda crazy new psychedelic hard shit. Ok, I stop now. I was showering, after falling a sleep in the car cause I am drunk. Good night or godd morning, or good evening lovely individuals, or combined together: god. You are loved. Ciao,
Danielito Frasnulli
1:01:01 Sub Zero being super nice to him is soo cool to see!!
