FRIDAY AUGUST 23
Anetha
Anetha started mixing in the clubs of her hometown Bordeaux before moving to Paris, where she in 2012 co-founded the Blocaus Series label. Her name got rapidly established in the Paris underground techno scene and she started playing events at the capital's inevitable venues such as Concrete, Rex Club and La Machine. Her skills behind the decks and impeccable track selections have led her to play venues and festivals all over the world - from Berghain to Bassiani, Awakenings to Movement Detroit.
Her track ‘Acid Train’, released on Anagram in 2017, was included in Mixmag's best techno tracks of the decade. In 2019, she launched her label Mama Told Ya, a platform to promote emerging artists through collaborative efforts and groundbreaking musical experimentation. She has recently released her debut album Mothearth, a ten-track LP offering a vibrant selection of techno, trance, experimental, DnB and hardcore.
