Q&A with Anetha [Blocaus, Reclaim Your City]

Anetha presented her music to Pristina clubbers at one of the events that Hapesira is organized, on 16 February 2017. The party was at the perfect location in Prishtina, the former Rilindja printing factory warehouse. This is the place in Kosovo that serves to organize cultural events with electronic music. This is a real rave warehouse.

At this fifth event of Hapesira, Anetha performed immediately after the Ukrainian artist Etapp Kyle and played a perfect techno set. It was a pure techno mix with few acid tracks in it. She created perfect energy and was great at playing. 

Below is a brief interview with Anetha. 

• Hola Anetha, thanks for your time to answer some of our questions and to present you to Kosovo clubbers. Can you give us a short introduction about Blocaus Series? 

A: Blocaus series is a French techno label created in 2016, as the next stage in our evolution after four successful years of hosting parties at various venues in Paris. Blocaus series as a record label is a logical extension of the ideology of the party series and through this can clearly reflect the main aim of pushing the highest quality of techno. Our label is not intended to show a certain vision of techno, but similarly to our parties, is bringing a holistic view of all different trends and in- fluences. Blocaus series constitutes a platform for talented producers to express their own style and operate within the broad spectrum of techno.
