The DJ and music producer brings her techno to the official remix of Depeche Mode’s ‘My Cosmos Is Mine’.
Anna combines layers of imposing synthesizers, pulsating bass and the original song’s enveloping vocals to create a unique version of ‘My Cosmos Is Mine’. The artist adds yet another achievement to her CV, bringing a whole new dimension to Depeche Mode’s music.
However, this is not the first collaboration with Depeche Mode member Martin Gore: the invitation was the result of another successful solo project by the singer, with the remix of the track ‘Howler’.
With a legacy of success spanning more than four decades, Depeche Mode has been recognized as an icon of the electronic genre for its avant-garde approach that has put them ahead of their time since 1980.
This October, Anna will be playing at the three-day Tomorrowland Brasil, which takes place from October 12 to 14 at Maeda Park in Itu, São Paulo. The artist has over 48 million streams on Spotify alone.
“I’m very honored to be invited to play all three days of Tomorrowland Brasil, with this recognition for a national artist! My second performance will be on the Mainstage! I’ll also be doing a b2b with Ida Engberg, and I’ll be closing the Core stage on the last day, in an unprecedented b2b with Vintage Culture. I’ve been playing at the festival every year since 2018 in Belgium, and I also took part in the last edition of Tomorrowland in Brazil in 2016. I’ve always dreamed of playing on the main stage. The time has finally come, and being in Brazil, this moment has become very special, my whole family will be there, it’s going to be a great celebration. A cycle that began when I was 14 years old,” says Anna.
Monique Dardenne, co-founder and director of the Women’s Music Event, points out that it’s important to remember that Tomorrowland, the biggest electronic music festival in the world, in its Brazil edition had 180,000 tickets sold in just a few hours. According to her, the event is giving light to one of our great national talents and representatives of Brazilian electronic music in the world.
“Anna has made a name for herself on the global techno scene and is the only artist to play all three days of the festival. It’s also very representative in a context of gender diversity where electronic music still suffers from extremely male line-ups,” says Monique Dardenne, co-founder and Director of the Women’s Music Event.
But who is Anna anyway?
Ana Miranda, also known as Anna, is a rare example of a musician and producer who is completely comfortable changing shape between two parallel careers in electronic music, representing her two worlds – techno and ambient.
Based in Lisbon, the Brazilian DJ and producer moved to Barcelona in 2015 to be closer to the European Dance Music circuit, a scene that fell in love with her hypnotic and melodic techno released on a range of vital labels, from Drumcode to Plus 8, Mute Records to Afterlife.
The 2019 summer hit, ‘Forever Ravers’, featuring Miss Kittin, on Kompakt, lit up dance floors all over the world and became a pandemic anthem.
With a career spanning more than twenty years, Anna started on the dancefloors of Six – her father’s nightclub in the countryside of São Paulo, where she first played – to some of the world’s most renowned clubs and festivals, including DC10, Hi, Printworks, Warung, Movement, Tomorrowland, Time Warp and Coachella.
In recent years, she has delivered classic crossover remixes for the likes of Jon Hopkins, Orbital.
