Jabberwocky live

Ah, the Parisian ad agency crowd. Everyone in the room is a creative director sipping natural wine, pretending they absolutely didn't just come for the free open bar. They’re nodding thoughtfully at the synthesizers, desperately trying to look like they understand the complexities of live instrumentation. A stark, brutalist concrete office space has been brilliantly transformed into an indie-electronic haven. This Jabberwocky live @ Magasins Generaux (BETC) in Paris, France for Cercle live set is a fascinating, dynamic performance.

With tempos wildly fluctuating from 100 up to 154 BPM, the technical execution is incredibly ambitious, moving through 8B and 12A keys with a cinematic flair. The Rominimal energy here isn't about the dancefloor; it’s a moody, mid-heavy atmospheric journey designed for active listening. The track selection is a crate digger’s dream, heavily featuring their own live renditions alongside surprising electronic cuts. Slipping in the Max Chapman remix of Paul C & Paolo Martini's "Klong" amidst live vocals is an absolute masterstroke. The performance begins with a gorgeous, ethereal opening track, "Ode to Simplicity / Simply You".

The undisputed highlight of the Jabberwocky Magasins Generaux (BETC) in Paris, France for Cercle tracklist is the sprawling 23-minute live rendition of "Fog (feat. Ana Zimmer)". The room finally exhales as the haunting closing track, "Canyon", rings out.
