Why this recording
Out of 1 h 40 of video, the twelve tracks of the live set take up almost 1 h 27, and the programme ends with an interview with the duo, starting at 1:27:10. Cercle credits a full crew: direction by Pol Souchier and Derek Barbolla, two directors of photography, a drone pilot and outside post-production. Unusually, mixing and mastering are credited to Paul Wallner himself, so the video's sound stays in the hands of one of the two musicians. In the set, "The Blame Game" recalls HVOB's joint work with Winston Marshall.

Live recording of the Austrian electronic duo HVOB (Her Voice Over Boys) at Copa del Sol in Careyes, Jalisco, Mexico, filmed for Cercle on 28 October 2019. This filmed full concert shows Anna Müller and Paul Wallner in a live configuration — not a mere DJ set — blending machines, synthesizers and vocals to build an organic, cinematic electronica. In the spectacular setting of the Mexican coast, filmed with Cercle’s signature visual care, the duo unfolds its sound between melodic techno, deep house and atmospheric pop, where textured pads and Anna Müller’s ethereal voice create a tension at once danceable and introspective. The performance, later released as a live album by Cercle, illustrates how HVOB blurs the line between the live concert and the electronic set. An ideal document for lovers of live electronica, melodic techno and performances in exceptional locations, filmed in professional conditions at sunset and preserved in full.
