For anyone who’s interested in getting a deeper understanding of what you're listening to… I’ve pulled together a mini-study of the set - demystifying the “art of DJing” and showing that it isn’t just pushing buttons! :) Mood: The overall mood of the set was chilled and melodic, with a low/mid-level energy. The lower intensity storytelling here aligns very well with the energy of the location - overlooking the ocean, open space - feeling close to nature. This is mirrored by the lower intensity - tribal / ‘afro house’ / melodic nature of the set. The objective was to get the crowd to feel the emotions and sway to the music (see crowd @11:00!) Motifs & Frequencies: The set could be described as having three ‘chapters’ - for the first 'chapter' Blond:ish (Vivie-Ann) starts the set with melodic tracks that are characterised by longer motif lengths (i.e - the main motif of the track repeats every 16 or 32 beats) - often driven by mid/high frequencies. This gives a chilled-out, somewhat melancholy vibe for the opening. Note - When I say ‘motif’ - this is the loop or most noticeable repeating element of the track. Perhaps to put it more simply - if you had to whistle the track to someone, such that they could recognise it - which part would you whistle? This is the main motif - often also described as the rhythm or the melody. At around 35:00 Vivie-Ann transitions to a slightly higher energy, using tracks that are more rhythmic rather than melodic - slightly more intense percussive elements and also with a slightly darker mood to them until the 55:00 mark. Then she downshifts gears again (for the final ‘chapter’) and lowers the energy once again through to the end. Energy/Intensity: Overall, the BPM was pretty much maintained throughout - starting at 118 and moving to 119 by the 16:00 mark. A similar stability / unity was maintained with the percussion intensity - never moving beyond a low/mid-level energy (nor would you really want to increase the energy, given the nature surroundings) To create movement and interest in the sound, Vivie-Ann alternated between tracks that are primarily driven by low frequencies (basslines) Vs high & mid frequencies - as well as alternating between instrumental and vocal tracks. In terms of key observations and emphasising what was done very well: Marrying Energy with the Environment: Vivie-Ann does a great job of marrying the energy / vibe of the music with the energy of the surrounding environment. The purpose of the track selection is largely to make the crowd ‘feel’ an emotion - hence lots of melodies. While the set does become somewhat more rhythmic in the middle (and therefore moving people from ‘their head‘ into ‘their body’) the sound predominantly occupies the higher frequencies and never becomes too energetic for the surroundings. Vivie-Ann also does a good job of mixing in the percussive elements of the incoming track earlier - such that the energy doesn’t fall away as the current track loses steam. Note - Many current-day producer/DJs let the outgoing track virtually play through before mixing in the next track. This often has the consequence of a drop in perceived energy levels before the main motif / drop of the next track comes in. As a final point - you can see that she understands / appreciates the audio/visual experience - 43:50, 53:10, 55:30,56:10, 58:00, 1:03:00, 1:05:55 !!! ….as she turns to look out over the ocean and watch the sunset - as if to feel how the sound and visual marriage works together. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're interested in reading commentary on other Cercle DJ sets; I've included a list of the Cercle video links with my commentary at the top: Martinez Brothers at CÉ LA VI Marina Bay Sands: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJ98qrBqvceanGw.html&lc=Ugw8FjXRTwNr_igsxEh4AaABAg Lee Burridge at Omnia Bali: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/np9mgKqU2M-bd4U.html&lc=UgyXBVeIehYJkpXra-R4AaABAg Above & Beyond in Guatape: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g6uqiJR526jTZo0.html&lc=UgzwLbb8bwfCee9x72N4AaABAg Hernán Cattáneo at Cercle Festival: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8ejpMpluLvQYoU.html&lc=Ugz6nHNUJYRxJcvLxhh4AaABAg Black Coffee at Salle Wagram: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ia2hmsKL37rMdIk.html&lc=UgxQT39JEwTd-j7E1Ax4AaABAg More to come soon!

Opening with an Alan Watts speech is a sure fire way to get me hooked.

I’ve been in a wheelchair most of my life but today i stood up and turned up the volume. Great mix! 🥰

This should be 2022, a lovely peaceful world without war and music for the soul

just the fact that it starts with Alan Watts shows its gonna be good : )

We had such an amazing time!! It was special!! ❤ @BLOND:ISH mucho love ❤

the best party i ever attended , what a day what a vibe

Thank you BLOND:SH, thank you Cercle ❤️

Ok but the message at 1:02:05 … what a song, it’s called Rave New World !!!! I couldn't find lyrics so I typed them bc I love it so much feel free to help me decipher: "This joy, this good feeling, welling up from your chest...you can feel it…as it spills forth, spreading through. This joy affecting all those around you…in this moment, you can feel your power, standing from within. As you naturally bleed out, relinquishing all insecurities, releasing all envy, jealousy, cynicism... by developing love for all humanity." "And from this state, I will gather all our forces: all guardians of hope, all caretakers, all (?), all stewards of Earth, indigo crystal children, empaths, diplomats (as well?), wizards, weirdos and witches; all ambassadors of peace! 😭 All sacred places of power use me! as a tool, as a device (for life?) for change! The barriers, the wall we have allowed to be built against each other disguised as protection, never served to protect you! One sole purpose was to divide you! So that you could be conquered!" Ahh I'm crying again so powerful

First Cercle with audience for over 1.5 years 🤩

Thank you Circle for existing. Thank you BLOND:ISH and all the producers.

I love loving a new cercle video 50 seconds in. You just know that next hour + will be bliss.

Ist das schön ❤️. Da möchte man die ganze Welt umarmen.

I first listened to this set with ear phones whilst at work, by 10 minutes in I couldn't help but daydream about myself galloping across wide open fields whilst naked on a horse, long hair blowing in the wind slow motion, I can't ride a horse and I don't have long hair but in my daydream I looked so god damn sexy.. and for that I thank you Cercle, as for BLOND:ISH I have no words other than if you ever see a skinny dude with a wig on riding through one of you're sets, then that's me, maybe hop on the back, we can ride into the sunset(more likely a carpark) but that's just fine with me.. yours sincerely skinny boy with a dream x
