Ann Clue
at Cercle Festival 2024 (Concorde Stage)
Ann Clue at the Cercle Festival 2024 Concorde Stage – because where else would you want to hear peak-time techno but under the shadow of a supersonic jet, a metaphor we're all too tired to unpack. The vibe is futuristic and intense, with lasers cutting through a crowd ready for a workout. This is driving, peak-time tech house and melodic techno, locked at 128 BPM and built on the powerful, open foundation of the 12A key. The energy is overwhelmingly focused on a relentless, low-end drive, with percussive mids and just enough melodic high-end to add color without distraction.
JAB's 'Klemsh' is a brutal, effective opener, all distorted bass and industrial clang. CamelPhat's 'Spektrum' provides a massive, vocal-led peak moment that feels built for festival arms-in-the-air. The Inpetto 2008 mix of Fragma's 'Toca Me' is a genius, trance-tinged throwback that sends a jolt of nostalgia through the crowd. Her own collab with Boris Brejcha, 'Roadtrip', is a fitting, high-energy closer that showcases her production prowess.
Tracks like Stephan Crown & EiZer G's 'Bouncing' and Henry Effe's 'Experiment 001' remix keep the groove functional and forward-moving. From the aggressive start of 'Klemsh', through the euphoric release of 'Spektrum', to the extended, driving finale of 'Roadtrip', it's a set that delivers exactly what it promises: no-nonsense, main-stage techno with just enough melody to keep things interesting.
