ANNA — Les Pavillons des Étangs, Paris (Cercle), 2018

A live recording of an all-vinyl DJ set by Brazil’s ANNA (Ana Miran), a leading figure of São Paulo techno, filmed in 2018 by Cercle at Les Pavillons des Étangs, a Belle Époque venue in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. True to the French collective’s format, the camera sweeps across the setting and the crowd while ANNA threads together a selection of melodic techno and progressive house with patient transitions and long, deliberate build-ups. Released on Cercle’s YouTube channel, the set captures the sound that pushed the artist onto major international stages: deep pads, a hypnotic groove and the narrative sense of a true two-deck mix. This filmed live concert documents a pivotal moment in ANNA’s rise and serves as an ideal entry point into the melodic techno aesthetic of late-2010s Paris. A reference full set for anyone after a demanding performance, captured with the visual care that made Cercle’s reputation.
