ANNA’s dynamic sound encompasses multiple styles and genres – from ambient through house to techno. Connectivity and spirituality is key in her music as is her incredible Lisbon studio set-up, as can be heard on her intense and exotic single ‘Kalimba Dreams’, released on Global Underground on Friday, 5th April, as a teaser for GU46.
Released in June, ANNA GU46: Lisbon will see the Brazilian supremo step up to curate the internationally renowned Global Underground series which has spanned four decades. Previous Global Underground compilations have been compiled and mixed by leading electronic music artists including Danny Tenaglia, Sasha, Amelie Lens, Solomun, Carl Cox, Deep Dish, and Patrice Baumel.
‘Kalimba Dreams’ is a carefully layered track that unfolds with real drama. The Kalimba from the title features heavily and brings an exotic feel to the track which is also lit up with wispy synths and deep rooted drums. The bassline adds the weight while the melodies soar and make this an epic cut that will transfix the dance floor. This is another majestic outing from ANNA.
Kalimba Dreams is one of several new and exclusive tracks on GU46: Lisbon along with ANNA’s collab with Rebūke, the magnificent Ignite. Wehbba’s superb track ‘Symmetry’ and Paul Roux’s beautiful ‘Baby, Baby’ were written especially for ANNA for GU46: Lisbon, as were other incredible tracks by Victor Ruiz, Tao Andra, and Binaryh.
Other artists featured across ANNA GU46: Lisbon include BICEP, Bonobo & Jacques Greene, TSHA, Mind Against, Daniel Avery & Alessandro Cortini, Yotto and Agents Of Time.
“I chose music that makes me feel the way that Lisbon makes me feel, and selected the full spectrum of my music taste, including ambient, house and techno. So, there’s this sense of aliveness, of uplifting energy that reflects the diversity of the city…Few places make me feel as stimulated, inspired and fulfilled as Lisbon. It’s a city where I feel totally at home and at peace. CD1 represents the soft, groovy, mellow, ambient side. CD2 explores the more energetic, club music I’m known for. On GU46: Lisbon, I’ve also included music that I don’t usually play at my shows; music that has a huge impact on uplifting my mood and raising my frequency.”
