Hernán Cattáneo at the Cercle Festival 2022 in France 

Amazing

Argentina have given Messi , Maradona and Hernan cattaneo to this world..... gracias

If you have a chance one day see this man playing. One of the best days of my life was seeing him playing. Magic Night!

He is the legend in progressive music 🫡 ❤ Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

Argentina has produced some of the best progressive DJ's of all time. Can't wait to go to a party there! Saludos desde Argentina

Hey kids, for those who don't know... Cattaneo started in the 80's and started with house, trance and now progressive, nothing to wear masks or be a clown in the booths, he is pure quality. My respects

Hoy me hicieron un implante dental y mi dentista me preguntó que quería escuchar para estar mas relajada...le pedi Hernan Cattaneo y este fue el set elegido y se me hizo mas llevadero el garrón !!! gracias Hernan te adoro y sigo desde el 97 y gracias a la copada de mi dentista Micaela Lesnik😂 Córdoba Capital , Argentina ❤

I can't believe I just discovered Hernan Cattaneo today. That was just wonderful

Found him YEARs ago with his double volume CD Renaissance Mixes and loved him ever since.

So lucky to have seen this live! It was nothing less than magical.

Always an incredible feeling seeing one of your idols playing your music. Much love to Hernán and the wonderful folks at Cercle

I hope everyone who reads this finds true happiness in life. Some of us are struggling but I assure you that everything is going to be alright. We love you.

Cercle + Cattaneo = 🤩

Cattaneo is a living legend.

When the music is so good it takes you on a journey. That's the power of Hernan Cattaneo.

I’ve only had the privilege of seeing him once live. But I won’t ever forget it and I never get tired of talking about it. Saw him in Houston, TX, back in 2007. The venue closed at 2am. Most people had left before 2am. Not very many people at all there around that time or past that hour. He didn’t stop playing until 4am. Was an amazing night. Probably less than 100 people in the place past 2 and this man still continued to take the few of us left to another dimension of bliss through the music he mixes. You can tell he has a deep love for the music and he loves what he does. My all time fav DJ. I lack words to express completely how mind blowing he is live. May he live a long and happy life.

I'm literally disabled and these performances are a true blessing to a former DJ. Its like I'm there. Herman - he kills it. Reminded me of the old Global Underground series back in the late 99 to 2002

Hernán Cattáneo is probably the best prog house DJ we have ever witnessed. I saw him for the first time at a nightclub in Hollywood back in 2004 and then again at Turnmills in London in 2006, where I greeted and had my picture taken with him after his amazing DJ set. Good times and great memories indeed! And btw, this set was epic - thank you, Cercle!

Kids, Hernan is been in the game for a LONG time. I saw him played Live in Space Miami main room back in the early 2000's. Even back then he was already an expert, this guy is as legit as it can get. Pure gold.

For anyone who’s interested in getting a deeper understanding of what you're listening to… I’ve pulled together a mini-study of the set - demystifying the art of DJing and showing that it isn’t just pushing buttons! :) Mood Hernan plays a progressive style of house in this set - tracks characterised by their complex construction with changing emphasis of motifs / frequencies as the tracks play out. In terms of mood, the tracks are sometimes melancholy, sometimes uplifting in nature and interspersed by a few more darker sounding tracks. Most tracks have longer (32+ beat) melodies which were largely driven by mid/high frequencies. Energy/Intensity Hernan starts the set with lower-intensity tracks (as a means of warming the crowd into the set) before moving into mid-range intensity (signaling the start of the set’s second ‘chapter’ at around the 24:00 mark). From this point the set maintains consistency in the intensity of the tracks (never losing intensity or becoming too aggressive) - this has the effect of providing unity / stability to the story being told. In addition, the mood and the use of melodies driven by the high frequencies are maintained throughout the second chapter up to 54:00 mark. The start of the third chapter coincides with introducing a couple of darker-themed tracks but soon reverts to the mid/high frequency melodic theme. In terms of key observations of what was done very well: Marrying Mood/Energy to the Environment While I’m sure Cercle aims to create perfect marriages of sound and visual with every video, it’s not always guaranteed. (although I put this more down to the DJ who should be aware of the sound that would ‘work’ for the location they are booked to play in) In this instance however, the set that Hernan puts together is a very good representation of the surroundings. The airplanes, the space rocket - invoking images of flight / being high in the sky / isolated from the world below. The sound which most closely matches this would be tracks that are driven by the higher frequencies and somewhat melancholy - invoking feelings of the isolated nature of space-flight or conversely uplifting in mood (being ‘high in the sky’). There are some instances in the set where he uses darker sounds as a means of creating contrast to the overall mood (as I’ve noted before in other DJ commentary left on Cercle videos - a story can become ‘stale’ if the same mood is used constantly), but otherwise Hernan does a great job of marrying sound and environment. Stability Vs Movement At first glance there isn’t much ‘movement’ in the set construction. The BPM remains virtually the same (123 /124 throughout) the percussion intensity of the track (a key driver of energy for a DJ) remains consistent from 24:00 onwards. The mood also remains relatively consistent, as does the overall ‘feel’ of the set - characterised by mid and higher frequencies. If this same set was constructed for a tech house, funky house or techno DJ set it could quickly become stale and quite boring. However with the use of progressive tracks (where the tracks themselves have a lot of movement within them) it is in fact a great contrast to the stability of the set structure. In this regard, the progressive track selection takes on much of the heavy lifting and doesn’t require the Hernan to actively manage all the dynamics of storytelling. Note - for other sub-genre’s of house music, the tracks are produced more like ‘components’ or individual ‘characters’ and designed to be layered by the DJ, whereas for progressive house tracks they are structured almost like a microcosm of a DJ set - 4 beat bass stabs dominate one moment, then gentle mid-frequency piano keys emerge while higher frequency pads creep upon you, filling the sonic range - and these ‘characters’ dance with each other - different frequencies, different motif lengths moving in and out of focus. It therefore makes complete sense that where the tracks are complex and have movement, the structure of the set offers stability and unison in holding the experience together ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're interested in reading commentary on other Cercle DJ sets; I've included a list of the Cercle video links with my commentary at the top: Martinez Brothers at CÉ LA VI Marina Bay Sands: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-29LwM9Xa6l8.html&lc=Ugw8FjXRTwNr_igsxEh4AaABAg Blond:ish in Sint Maarten: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ad4IAkS-1-w.html&lc=UgyYS7pegfiMkfHUmKx4AaABAg Lee Burridge at Omnia Bali: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h96MGcsi7GQ.html&lc=UgyXBVeIehYJkpXra-R4AaABAg Above & Beyond in Guatape: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MEzU1HvBo6Y.html&lc=UgzwLbb8bwfCee9x72N4AaABAg Black Coffee at Salle Wagram: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SGqg_ZzThDU.html&lc=UgxQT39JEwTd-j7E1Ax4AaABAg More to come soon!

I’ve been in a wheelchair most of my life but today i stood up and turned up the volume. Great live set! 🥰

37:00 WHY THIS MAN will always be a legend to me pure class.

I’ve been introduced in the electronic music recently... I only have to say that Cattáneo tells stories, is a magic travel from happiness Gracias Hernan!!!!

spending the rest of my life just listening to his sets seems like a very attractive idea

Y un día se hizo realidad! A darle play!! Saludos desde Rosario, Argentina

I’ve see Hernan live 10 times. Been following him since his Masters Series vol1. He’s made such an incredible career for himself, good to see Cercle giving him the honor he deserves. He normallly does 5-6 hours sets, this feels like 2 hours of prime groove peak time, beautiful stuff!

Noche Buena del 2023, a full con Hernán!❤️ Imposible cansarse de este set

The older the better. I follow him since I was a teenager (now I'm 40). Amazing set.

Por fin, Hernan en Cercle 🤩✨🖤

La rompiste 🔥 🚀🚀🇦🇷🇦🇷 tuve la suerte de estar ahi . Hermosa energía siempre Hernan 🎧🌐

Hernan is one of my all time favorite Djs, his sets are like a mystic train that has the best time getting up to speed and chugging along. What a ride!

me siento avergonzado de escuchar por primera vez a este gran maestro, que nivel!

10:12 de la mañana, viernes, último día laboral de la semana y Cercle sube el set de Hernán.. algo más se puede pedir?? Buen viernes para todos!!!

Gracias por el support amigo, terrible set 🔥

The moment when Extassy drops in. Ufff. The track is a force of nature, so much flex Hernan.

TIENE LAS ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ESTRELLAS y en Francia 2022, era una señal🇦🇷

Claro señores, disfruten y aprecien a este hombre

Such an Honor to be included in the Maestros set! 😻

I have listened to this whole set like 40 times, just amazing

Hernan, nossa lenda, o maior representante da música eletrônica latino americano. Que orgulho!

Soberbio Hernán, esa selección de temas, el lugar y la calidad de sonido. Fino, viajero y reflexivo, hermoso como siempre. Te admiro y no sabes cuanto, gracias a la gente de Cercle por permitir tantos buenos momentos.

30 years de carrière, ce mec est un légende !

I’ve been introduced in the electronic music scene 20 years ago with Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Sasha, Digweed and Hernan… Hernan has always be special to me, he doesn’t just mix music, he tells a story, the story of life, love and happiness Gracias Hhermanos 🙏🙏🙏

Hernán, magnífico como siempre, tengo 45 y lo sigo desde antes que me saliera la barba, un lujo.

His sets are always a story. Pure art!

Escucharte significa que me cambies la energía y el humor, tiras abajo hasta un lunes de invierno❄️Que HERMOSA que es la vida con vos carajo❤️ Les deseo a todos los momentos de mayor felicidad que puedan imaginar, vayan por sus sueños, vivan con intensidad ✨ NOS VEMOS EN FORJA

For me this part is a state of the art, the mix and transitions between those 4 tracks are just incredible 00:30:45 Verlk - hours go by 00:37:11 BOg - Underwater (Hernan Cattaneo & Marcelo Vasami Remix) 00:42:10 Sebastien Leger -Extassy 00:48:50 Khen - Homeboy The first track "hours go by" has a sad and melancholic mood, then comes "Underwater" with the melodic bass line, the amazing female lyrics, changes the mood into an atmosphere more happy but still melancholic, and then "Extassy" arrives... OMG just love and happiness, and to finish this chapter, "Homeboy" with a build up and FXs perfectly done.

You can See in His face the joy and experience He Has in music... Epic, Classic, good

My all time best episode. Hernan Cattaneo is a living legend. Maybe next time @Cercle will consider a b2b Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren show. Thanks, Maestro!❤️❤️❤️

One of the best dj ever, follow him since 2002 Moonpark Special with Sasha....Amazing dj....living legend❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏 . What a set for Cercle🕺🕺🕺

the plane took off, well done captain Cattaneo!

Tu talento me emociona en lo más profundo de mi ser, la música que no acaba nunca y hace reír y llorar, para mí eres el mejor DJ del mundo ♥️

Y hasta que por fin se dió el gran Hernán Cattáneo en Cercle. Solo queda disfrutar. Saludos de Lima - Perú 🇵🇪

I remember an evening in Oslo many years ago with Hernán Cattáneo. During his set, everyone carried out the furniture in this club called 'Sikamikaniko'. Just so that we'd get more space and people in for this night.

Thank you to my dad for getting me into this music and playing it around the house. Only took 25 years to become interested in it but better late than never

¡La felicidad del camarógrafo a los 14:40:00 es nuestra felicidad! ¡Gracias, Hernán querido!!! ¡Saludos desde Córdoba, papáááá!

First track is really gem.

Domingo a las 8am a todo volumen, para aquellos vecinos que en la madrugada no dejaron dormir. 🎵

Hernan y su rocola mental (palacio mental). Las genialidades existen y esta es una. Viva la música, vivan los maestros. Grande Cattaneo! Aplausos.

DE ARGENTINA PARA EL MUNDO! El peluca Cattaneo en Cercle, me vuelvo loco!

I remember the first time I saw Cattaneo back in June 2000 in 🇵🇪 He wasn’t much well known back then… But that night he surely did introduce himself to a crowd that was still trying to gain a name in this new movement. Saw him 4 more times after that and to he honest, after 22 years, it is nice to see that this man keeps up with his style and can take you for a flight ✈️ at anytime. South America at its best ladies and gentlemen

Soberbio, sobrio pero completamente espléndido, una selección musical impecable. Este set es tan grácil como absorto, te transforma en un expedicionario del espacio sideral de principio a fin. Infinitas gracias Hernán por tanto, y perdón por tan poco .

Some of the crowd shots are funny, looks like a vibrant group.....love to see people having fun again at festivals. Halfway thru listening and super impressed with Hernan's vibe which is smooth and steady. He is such a veteran player. Honored that i got to play on the same stage with him many full moons ago at a beach party in Acapulco...Cercle always gets a thumbs up from me for originality in picking spots to record.

Finalmente um set dessa lenda, nosso Hermano! Satisfação em ver a Cercle trazendo esses nomes.

Hernan es un elixir, cualquier otra cosa se escucha, a Hernan se lo disfruta...

This is definitely one of his best sets in the last couple of years.

What a beautiful track collection by Hernan, quite ravishing

perfect vibes..... perfect blending...... perfect track selection...... Just a perfect set from the Master himself...

Hernán Cattáneo это монстр электронной музыки! Переслушиваю его сборники уже лет эдак 20, ещё на дисках. Он не перестаёт удивлять, как выдержанное вино. Спасибо за музыку!

La pista, el avión, los pasajeros Las valijas hechas de arte Envueltos en un aura de viajeros Acérquense, sean parte Arriben y dejen que sus mentes viajen Donde los lleva este piloto no necesitan equipaje Hernán, aduéñate de la cabina con tus versos Llévalos a donde su alma pertenece Donde la melodía es lo único que permanece Próxima parada el universo Gracias por tanto!!!

Es absolutamente imposible cansarse de escuchar este set, aun sin verlo. Literalmente una obra de arte

That last track, Gone bottler remix is like that last litre of gasoline that you wanna use to do a burnout and go out with a bang

Hernán no sabes el regalo que me hiciste, en 20 palabras nos reiniciaste la vida. Gracias !! Sara, mexicanita hermana!! que poderosa me hiciste con tu regalo!! Gracias !! Ojalá nos volvamos a cruzar, ojalá leas ésto y sientas dicha por haber sostenido el corazón de alguien que no conocías. Que la música siempre nos salve!!✨💫

This was long overdue and Hernan Cattaneo killed it as expected

This has to be one of the most euphoric sets ever!!

Todo un adelantado Hernán, ya llevaba las tres estrellas mientras dedicaba el set a los franceses.

Hernan un grossso...un gran Campeón Argentino...viajas hasta donde llegue tu mente...tremendo transporta y transforma...GENIO!!!

His 2008 Essential Mix was I.C.O.N.I.C. tbh I wasn't even sure if he still played. I'm so happy he does. Viva Buenos Aires!

Finalmente, Cattaneo! Essa lenda precisa ter mais sets por aqui

Hernán is a god. His mix is perfect. 👌🏼 It's worth every second of this set.

Mis respetos para este hombre, una cerveza, una carnita asada... Buena música que más se pude pedir? Excelente set!!! 😎👍

Some shows are about the location, but some are about the artists!! Hail the maestro :)

Красивый, текучий сет. Очень нравится мне селекция Эрнана.

Esta sesión te hace viajar más que todos esos aviones juntos.

What a set. I’m glad I got to see Hernan playing here in Sydney this year, so at least once in this life I could enjoy his music alive. Thanks Maestro! 🇧🇷🇦🇺

For me it was a once in a lifetime experience to walk in such a magical place with friends, on earth without maps , without boundaries, where people just enjoyed the music. Thank you Hernan and Cercle for this amazing experience, forever grateful ♥️🙏

Excelente!!!! Nos alegra la mañana de este lado del mundo. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽

Hernan is the master - he never fails to disappoint. Another fun set!

Groso y genio absoluto🙌gracias por ser tan sutil y sublime, demostrando que la música electrónica es cultura, no es una mera moda pasajera, es interpretar y entender de lo que se trata. Un género escuchado por muchos y comprendido por pocos.

No existe persona en el mundo que logre conseguir la mezcla tan perfecta como este señor, ese oido tan fino, esa dedicacion, esa pasion y sobre todo ese talento, espero que nos puedas regalar de tus hermosas creaciones durante muchas decadas mas, sos el numero 1. The bossssssssssss

Cercle sempre trazendo um set brabo.

I recently came across hernan cattaneo and cercle about 2 weeks ago. Since then I’ve probably watched this set and specifically the “underwater” clip prolly 50 times. Watching hernan put the crowd in a trance is Pure magic. What I would do to have been there….hope to catch a live cercle show/festival someday. Until then I’ll keep this nodding my head to these flawless beats

Siempre lo digo y lo seguiré diciendo: QUE FELIZ ME HACES HERNÁN

Tenemos que agradecer que este tipo es argentino, que pedazo de artista hermano, gracias por tanta buena música peluca

Grande Cattaneo. Sabe TUDO!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Hernan Cattaneo, un des plus grands DJ au monde, merci à Cercle de lui rendre hommage, c'est un lord de la deep house !!!

Thank you...Im 36 years now and thanks for informing and introducing me what a legendary men this guy is and that im still "a kid"...im feeling so much younger now...beautiful music, outstanding artist.

Was amazing to be there! Flew from Australia for the event!
