Agoria
Montparnasse Tower Observation Deck in Paris, France for Cercle
Agoria playing a Cercle set from the Montparnasse Tower observation deck is peak 'music for gazing thoughtfully at cityscapes', and we are fully onboard for this journey of deep, melodic introspection 210 meters above Paris. The vibe is sleek, sophisticated, and slightly surreal, with panoramic views providing a backdrop for nuanced, groove-centric electronics. This is deep house and tech house with a refined, melodic sensibility, perfectly suited for sunset or sunrise contemplation.
Technically, the set is a masterclass in subtle dynamics, cruising at a consistent 124.9 BPM average and finding a warm, jazzy center in the key of 4A. The energy balance leans low, with rubbery, swinging basslines and organic percussion taking precedence, while atmospheric pads and occasional vocal snippets add color without clutter. Agoria's mixing is smooth and harmonic, favoring long, evolving blends that create a continuous, flowing narrative rather than a series of drops.
The crate digging reveals a connoisseur's taste: YEUZ's 'Find It' sets a minimal, hypnotic tone, Harry Romero's 'From the Root' brings classic, percussive house energy, and Floyd Lavine's 'Masala (David Mayer Remix)' offers a lush, exotic groove. Stephan Crown & EiZer G's 'Bouncing' is a funky, bass-driven highlight, while Karizma's 'Work It Out' is a timeless, deep cut for the heads. The journey begins with the understated pulse of 'Find It', weaves through deeper moments like Fur Coat's 'Spiral', and concludes with the epic, vocal-laden resolution of his own 'Remedy (Manoo Remix)', a track that stretches over sixteen minutes to let the melody truly sing.
