Since forming the company in Paris back in 2016, creative director Derek Barbolla has built Cercle into a cult phenomenon among electronic music fans. Their events – one-off in-person shows or filmed performances – transplant artists into sites of vast natural beauty or cultural heritage. Over the years, these have included German DJ Ben Böhmer playing in a hot air balloon over Cappadocia in Turkey, French house producer Sébastien Léger performing in front of the Great Pyramids of Giza and multi-instrumentalist FKJ playing in the middle of Bolivia's Salar De Uyuni - the world’s largest salt flats. Regularly, these videos notch up tens of millions of streams online, with Cercle devotees travelling across the globe to attend their hot ticket experiences.
