Para One
R2 Rooftop in Marseille, France for Cercle
You have to love a rooftop party in the south of France. It’s a sea of lads in overly tight linen shirts and £400 sunglasses, desperately trying to look nonchalant while aggressively elbowing their way into the panning camera shot. They didn't come for the music, they came for the aesthetic, but they're getting an education anyway. A warm Mediterranean breeze sweeps across the terrace, carrying perfectly crisp beats into the fading light.
This Para One @ R2 Rooftop in Marseille, France for Cercle live set is a proper lesson in restraint and release. Operating at a bumping 124.8 BPM, the mix glides through 3B and 7A Camelot keys with a deft, veteran touch. The energy arc stays wonderfully balanced in the mid-range, ensuring a groovy Rominimal bounce rather than a punishing techno assault. The crate digger selections are absolutely mad, pulling out some serious weaponry for the heads in the back.
Slipping in the Chateau Flight remix of Theo Parrish’s "Falling Up" alongside DJ Le Roi's iconic "I Get Deep" is a masterstroke of track selection. The sonic journey is meticulously crafted, starting with the sultry opening track, "Opium", which immediately hooks the crowd. The absolute highlight of the Para One R2 Rooftop in Marseille, France for Cercle tracklist is undoubtedly the legendary "I Get Deep", creating pure magic. The night peaks and resolves with the closing track, Yvan Genkins’ "On My Side".
