ANNA is one of Brazil’s finest exports, exploding into the electronic music scene as one of the most exciting female DJs & producers of this new era. With an intense love of music from an early age, she has been rocking clubs in her home country since she was 15 years old, and it shows! ANNA’s presence and ability behind the decks is simply stunning, igniting the dance floor and creating pure energy that captivates everywhere she plays.<br />
<br />
After temporarily moving to Europe in 2008 to start pursuing an international career, things started to progress quickly, touring across Spain, Portugal, Hungary, France, Czech Republic and more. Having always been interested in music production, it was at this time that Anna got a taste for the studio and developed her unique sound of deep, yet energetic Tech-House & Techno.<br />
<br />
Since then she has been releasing on some of the scene’s finest labels, including Turbo Recordings, Click Records, Tronic, Kraftek, Witty Tunes, Bla Bla and Toolroom Records. ANNA has also been creating a fine catalogue of remixes, giving her distinctive treatment to Gorgon City, Pleasurekraft, Baher & Fulltone, Victor Ruiz & Alex Stein, D-Nox & Beckers, The Scumfrog, Oliver Klein & Ramon Tapia, Anderson Noise, Filthy Rich, Format B and more.<br />
<br />
ANNA’s flirtatious sound of deep & driving tech house is a testament to her passion & exceptional technical ability. With an ever-growing, adoring army of fans in Brazil and around the world, a high profile tour in 2014, and hot new releases coming on respected labels, the scene is set for this future superstar to shine.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">Hello Anna, thank you so much for doing this interview with us, it's such a pleasure to welcome you to think IN electronic..</span></b><br />
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></b> <b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">How are you doing and if you could sing one song on American Idol, what would it be? </b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">Fallin’ by Alicia Keys although I would probably destroy the song as I have a terrible singing voice… Hmmm maybe I should pick a different song!</span><br />
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">     </span></span>We know Anna as a DJ and producer tell us more about yourself on a non-musical front?</b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">I am a movie addict, when I am not in the studio I am with my dog watching movies on the floor of my living room. I am not a huge party animal as I do it ‘for a living’ so when I do have a night off I would rather chill at home.</span><br />
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">     </span></span>Music has been a huge part of our lives. Growing up did you always see yourself following a career in music? </b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">I didn’t choose music, I think music chose me. I never dreamed about it, it just happened when I was 15 years old. Looking back on all these years I see that every time times were tough and I might have a little bit considered giving up on being a DJ suddenly something happened that made me not do it and I’ve very thankful that I never gave up!</span><br />
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">     </span></span>What has your journey being like in the music industry? Take us through how you started out and how you got noticed within the dance music industry. </b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">My father used to own a club, one day I started complaining about the DJ and he challenged me “why don’t you go there and take his place?”, so the next day I started practicing on his gear, about 8 hours every day, and 2 years later I was on my first DJ agency and then things started developing from there.</span><br />
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">4.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">     </span></span>Producing is not a skill everyone has. How did you get into producing and do you have any musical training? </b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">I think it is natural, I started as a DJ, but after a while, I started wanting to play my own tracks, and I was curious too. I am married to a producer; he is a genius and thought me a lot! I did drum classes for a while when I was about 16 years old, and now I do piano classes.</span><br />
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">5.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">     </span></span>Your music to us is simple and effective where do you draw inspiration from when producing and how do you deal with writer's block? </b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">I take a lot of influence from early house and disco, stuff from the 70s, 80s, sometimes I hear some sound and the whole Idea come into my head, sometimes I sit for hours in the studio and nothing happens, then I go throughout my samples to unlock, sometimes it helps.</span><br />
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">6.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">     </span></span>You have had the opportunity to remix Gorgon City, Pleasurekraft and many more when tackling a remix how do you approach it? </b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">I will only agree to do a remix if I like the remix parts, sometimes the music is great but the parts I have to work with do not inspire me so I would rather not commit to it.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">  </span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">The way I tackle it is that I start by doing something completely new as if I’m doing my own original track and when I run out of ideas I start piecing the remix parts on top of the track and mix it all together.</span><br />
<b style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><br /></span></span></b> <b style="text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">7.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">     </span></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being in the music industry is stressful, how do you deal with the pressures of the dance world? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">I meditate a lot, I practice transcendental meditation, it is a miracle. I try just to concentrate on getting better on my work and to evolve; I’ve learned to deal with the ups and downs from the music industry.</span><br />
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">8.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">     </span></span>Following on from the question above, what have been some of the challenges you have faced or are still facing in the music industry especially being a female DJ?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">I think the challenges are the same that as all the other DJs face, to put your record out in good labels takes time and persistence, so does to break into the club scene and festivals, but if you work hard at it, it will happen eventually.</span><br />
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">9.<span style="font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">     </span></span>What advice do you have for females trying to break into the scene or wanting to follow a career as DJs/producers? </b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">Work and study a lot, learn to take criticism and keep your head up, go to venues where you'd like to play and go check the DJs you look up to playing live, meet people, having a good network can take you a long way, research new technologies and new music. If you're great at what you do, don't worry, there will be a place for you.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">A guy gave me 50 dollars at the end of my set because he loved it so much he thought I should have it. Odd</span>....<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">Haha</span><br />
<b style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></b>

You are playing at Rage in South Africa; we have to ask this one what are your perceptions of South Africa and what are you most looking forward to? </b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">I don’t know much about SA to be honest apart from Safari’s and the beautiful scenery but everyone I know who has been there told me it is amazing. I’m very much looking forward to exploring on my day off during the tour.</span><br />

Do you remember what you did to celebrate graduating high school? </b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">The school threw a big party after the graduation ceremony but I couldn’t attend it because I had to DJ at a club opening which was owned by my father.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">A lot of driving groovy techno. I like taking people on a journey as cheesy as it may sound. It’s going to be fun!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; text-indent: -18pt;">I love black, leggings and am obsessed with boots. My dream is to buy a specific pair of boots from a high-end fashion label but I still have not had the courage to spend so much money on a pair of boots… It doesn’t make sense! Would rather spend it on DJ equipment!</span><br />
<b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span></b>

RAGE GOES RETRO TO CELEBRATE 10 YEARS

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">To look ahead, it’s important to look back. And this is what G&G Productions, the creators of the hugely successful annual Rage Festival, are doing as they celebrate its 10-year anniversary.</span></span></h2>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US">A decade after the first Rage in 2004, </span><span lang="EN-US">G&G Productions</span><span lang="EN-US"> has welcomed thousands of Ragers every year to party it up at what has certainly become the annual rite of passage for Matrics and students – and a much-anticipated pilgrimage to the host towns of Ballito and Umhlanga in KwaZulu Natal.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US">To celebrate this milestone, G&G Productions have launched <b>#RageRetro</b> – a fun, entertaining and interesting campaign retrospective of the Rage Festival over the last 10 years. #RageRetro looks at how the brand has evolved to </span><span lang="EN-US">solidify its position and relevance as the biggest youth music and lifestyle festival in South Africa.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US">The campaign, being run on the Rage and G&G social media platforms, looks back at themes like the Rage logo and how it has changed with the times and the music that topped the charts and the DJ who cool back then. #RageRetro also encourages veteran Ragers to share their stories, memories and photos from their first Rage experience – and offer some tips for this year’s first-time party-goers.</span><span lang="EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“We are very proud of the Rage Festival. The whole G&G team is dedicated and passionate about Rage and what it means to so many students every year,” says Will McIntyre, Rage Director at G&G Productions.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“The Rage brand is as relevant today as it was 10 years ago and we are always looking for new ways to make the experience slicker, better and more entertaining for Ragers, whether it’s booking the best international and local line-up, innovating Passport technology, or improving security,” adds Will.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US">If it wasn’t for innovation and change, Rage wouldn’t be where it is today. And this year will see a bigger and slicker production for all Ragers attending for the first time and for those who will be returning for another party of epic proportions.</span><span lang="EN-US"><u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
