Skiddle has launched a groundbreaking initiative to conduct the UK’s most comprehensive survey to date on the mental well-being of professionals in the music and events industry. Announced as a follow-up to an industry-first study conducted among event organisers back in 2018, the survey aims to highlight the new challenges facing the community in the wake of the pandemic and amid the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. The survey will be supported by a long list of prominent mental health charities and ambassadors, the likes of Music Minds Matter/ Help Musicians, Music Support, Manchester’s Headstock, Bristol’s Thrive At Night, the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA), the Association for Independent Festivals (AIF), the Association for Independent Promoters (AIP), the Association of Electronic Music (AFEM) and the Music Venue Trust (MVT). Specifically targeting venue proprietors and promoters of gigs, club events, and festivals throughout the UK, the data collected will be used by Skiddle and its partners to identify the regions and locations in the greatest need of mental health support. Insights will also be compiled and transformed into a range of valuable resources, such as white papers, freely downloadable handbooks, guides, and additional materials. These resources will offer practical guidance to industry professionals on how to manage their mental health and will be distributed to align with this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week, taking place from Monday the 13th to Sunday the 19th of May. Duncan King, Head of Festivals and Partnerships at Skiddle, said of the joint research project: “We are proud to partner with esteemed mental health charities and organisations to conduct this groundbreaking survey on the mental well-being of music and events industry professionals. By better understanding their challenges, we can work together to provide much-needed support and resources to improve mental health outcomes across the industry.” Atheer Al-Salim, Founder of Headstock, shared his thoughts on the initiative: “The music industry has always had to shoulder a disproportionate level of mental health issues compared to the wider population, but things are now at a crisis point as a result of the global pandemic and subsequent cost of living crisis. The landscape has changed, which is why the mental health industry survey being launched by Skiddle is so vitally important as we look to understand the new challenges facing professionals across our industry. We’re delighted to lend our support to this fantastic initiative and are looking forward to working closely with other organisations and charities across the sector to improve the mental health support and services on offer.” Micheal Kill, CEO of the Night Time Industries Association, also remarked on the study: “The Night Time Industries Association (NTIA) wholeheartedly supports Skiddle and its partners in their initiative to conduct the UK’s largest mental health survey among event organisers and venue managers. In an industry that has been significantly impacted by the pandemic and ongoing challenges, this groundbreaking survey addresses crucial issues facing professionals in the music and events sector. By collaborating with prominent mental health charities and industry organisations, including Music Minds Matter/Help Musicians, Music Support, and the Association for Independent Festivals (AIF), this endeavour underscores the importance of prioritising mental well-being. The NTIA recognises the significance of this comprehensive study in identifying areas in greatest need of support and applauds the efforts to provide valuable resources and guidance for managing mental health. Together, we aim to foster a healthier and more resilient community within the night-time industries.” Carly Heath, Thrive At Night/Nighttime Economy Advisor to Bristol City Council said: “The mental health and well-being of promoters is hugely important to the continuing resilience of the British music industry. Promoters are unsung heroes of nightlife. They work long hours, dream up wonderful lineups, and often bear the brunt of financial risk in creating magical music moments week in and week out across the country. I have firsthand experience of the pressures and the rollercoaster life of an independent event producer. I’m thrilled to see Skiddle going beyond the responsibilities of a ticketing platform, and getting to the bottom of the well-being of this often unseen workforce.” Survey Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Skiddle-mental-health-survey-2024 For anyone struggling to cope with their mental well-being and needing support, text the word ‘MUSIC’ to 85258 to receive free and confidential support, 24/7.

Following on from the release of their EP ‘Glossolalia’, UK-based band The Naked Grace Missionaries take an innovative step into the house music world by collaborating alongside KDA on the brand new single ‘Revelations’. The release sees both acts blend and mesh their own signature styles together and it results in an incredible alternative house anthem. It also marks the first time that both KDA and The Naked Grace Missionaries have worked together on a single which further adds to story of the track. The track itself delves into the complexities of the modern world, exposing the hidden deceptions under seemingly clear skies and the pervasive sense of despair that surrounds it. It reflects on the strange energy of a society teetering on the edge of disaster, yet it clings to optimism for a better future. Despite the chaos of the world, the song highlights love’s remarkable ability to bring hope and transformation. By uniting people on the dance floor, it offers a stark contrast to the conflicts of the present, embodying the essence of both KDA and The Naked Grace Missionaries‘ work: a warning against the dangers of the present intertwined with a call for a more uplifting tomorrow. Further, it evokes a deep sense of nostalgia for the classic anthems of UK dance, where social commentary intertwines with unforgettable hooks. The song encompasses facets of house, electronica and dance genres merging with thought-provoking lyrics, emphasizing music’s profound ability to influence mood and address societal challenges. Regarding their aspirations for the track’s impact on listeners, The Naked Grace Missionaries express a desire to evoke a sense of awareness regarding global issues and realities, coupled with a message advocating love, unity and hope. Additionally, they aim for the music to inspire continuous movement, urging listeners to immerse themselves in its dynamic rhythm shifts and spirited vocal arrangements.

Bathed in the moodsome blue light of the titan Ahoy arena, in the opening minutes of their ASOT 2024 set, Cosmic Gate premiered their new single. The response ‘Brave’ received from the tens of thousands gathered in Rotterdam was greater than even the duo dared hope. ‘Brave’ represents the first material, post ‘MOSAIIK – Chapters One & Two’ – the twin albums that definitively reset Cosmic Gate’s sonic to something “deeper, more progressive and song-led”. The music that followed was only going to advance that ethic further. The single sees Cosmic Gate in a first-time collaboration with multi-award winning singer/songwriter Christian Burns, but as the three acknowledge, ‘Brave’s creation was not without its own challenges. “Working on something together has been on the cards for quite some time”, says Christian. “It was never about doing a track … but doing the right one though.” “The moment we heard Christian’s ‘Brave’ demo, we knew we’d found the one”, comments Bossi. “The song has a unique atmosphere and, production-wise, I think we knew what we were going to do with it before we’d finished our first listen!” adds Nic. Solemn and haunting in places, mesmerizing in others, ‘Brave’s powerful draw-you-in nature has a once heard/never forgotten quality. Carried by Christian Burn’s lingering, ethereal delivery, its words convey an equally compelling message. It meditates on the courage needed to dig deep and find enough heart to fight the good fight – whatever form it might take. Cosmic Gate tint ‘Brave’s production with chunky, tribal drums, throbbing bass, haunting horns, lament-laced piano and no end of FX texture.

Hi, Who are you? Harrison Bennett, label manager since 2016. The label was founded by Zeds Dead in 2016 and is based out of Toronto. What’s your ethos? First and foremost, we are an artist-run label from an organisational and practical standpoint. So whatever we do is artist-led and in the service of their vision. We want to release the ultimate version of the project for the artist we are working with when it comes to the music and visuals. We also believe strongly in helping with the event side of things with the artist whether that is through our own label showcases, release parties or, providing promotional support for the artist’s tours or helping make connections with other touring acts to find support slots. Tell us your origin story... This was an idea that Zeds Dead had for quite a long time and has always been kicking around. They had a long history of working with various artist-run labels like Mad Decent and Dim Mak, and when it came time for them to put out their first album in 2016, Northern Lights, they put that idea into action. They wanted to launch a space to support artists and sounds that they felt were under-served by other labels and provide a platform for these artists that put into practice everything they had learned through their dealings with various labels. The label launched in March 2016 with a single release by Zeds Dead x Freddie Gibbs “Back Home” and then released a number of singles ahead of their album release in October 2016. The first artist we released after that was Nebbra in November of the same year and then in February 2017 we released the first volume of our We Are Deadbeats compilation series. Where are you based? Tell us about your local scene… Toronto! The city has always had a very strong underground scene that fosters a lot of collaboration between local artists across various genres. However, like a lot of major cities we’ve dealt with the loss of some significant midsize venues over the last decade which has put a bit of a damper on the weekly/bi-weekly event series that helped establish the dubstep and bass scenes in the city over the last 10+ years. Drum & Bass has a very storied history in this market with massive raves and events dating back 20+ years, probably even bigger than the dubstep scene. Recently we’ve seen a very healthy resurgence of underground events supporting bass music such as the DOCD series that has brought through acts like IMANU, Ternion Sound, Nikki Nair, Hamdi, and more. Do you have a specific sound or vibe? We aim to support the entire spectrum of bass music, and really focus on what we consider to be the next up-and-coming genres and artists. If you think of a festival with two stages; the main stage and the aide stage with emerging artists stage, we are the side stage with a focus on the sounds that we think are going to be moved over to the main stage in the next 6-12 months. We don’t really lean into the side of bass music that has been influenced by metal and rock, and instead go for more of the stuff that’s got a bit more of a hip-hop or rhythmic element to it. Very focused on groove. Do you have a regular artist roster- who can we see releasing with you? There’s a pretty big scope of acts that we work with throughout each year but we do have a good cast of recurring acts that like working with us time and time again. We don’t sign anyone exclusively because we believe that artists need flexibility in who they release with, but we’ve had the honour of working with acts like Subtronics, Griz, IMANU, Peekaboo, Blanke, Tape B, Sippy, A Hundred Drums, Chee and more multiple times. As well as legends like Rusko, Caspa, Coki, Emalkay, The Others, Subscape. Tell us about your A&R process… We try to keep our ear to the underground both in emerging artists and sounds. We want to be signing stuff we think is going to grow over the next 6-12 months. Not really concerned with artist size or their social growth, it’s very much about the track/release and if we think our audience will respond. We do a lot of outreach ourselves to artists that we think could work well on the label, and a fair bit of our signings have been the result of Zeds Dead supporting another track by the artist in their sets. What makes you different from other labels? We’re very genre agnostic in that we don’t stick to a specific sound or genre or bpm, we’re a broad spectrum bass label. And we’re very mindful about putting the artist’s vision first. We want to put out the ultimate version of the project that the artist has in mind. I think it’s served us well and the people we work with. Our label events are also a big part of what has set us apart from other labels I think, since we do about 20-25 per year and always try to have a diverse group of acts on the shows as we curate the lineups to be unique for each city. Getting artists in front of people so they can showcase their music and selections really helps develop a fanbase and sets them up for long-term success. We also host the 3rd largest hot dog eating competition in America every July 4th in Denver and I’m willing to put money up that no other label can make a similar claim. What does it take to run a bass music label in 2024? A passion for the music and artists is first and foremost since this is a job that doesn’t really hold normal hours and can take you on some wild twists and turns at all times. Being resourceful with your network of designers, promoters, other producers, and streaming contacts, and being willing to experiment with new promotional avenues is also very important as you never know what is going to work for a particular release so you need to be flexible with plans always. And finally just being a good person that’s easy to work with and dependable can take you a long way. Artists and their teams work a lot on their projects and they need to trust that you’re going to put in the same amount of work to release their music, you don’t need to be the best or most established at what you do to gain that trust but you damn sure better be dependable, willing to do the work, and able follow through on any promises you give. What have you got coming up we should look out for? We just released a 15 track compilation in partnership with Brownies & Lemonade focused on Drum & Bass called Deadbeats & Brownies that you should absolutely check out. We’re Very proud of that project as it’s been something we’ve been working on for a couple of years and serves as a showcase of the different styles within that genre that we think are starting to resonate with North American audiences. Beyond that, we’ve got a couple EPs and albums coming out this year that I think people will be very excited about. Can’t spill the beans yet but I think they’ll make people very happy.

‘Mana,’ marks the highly awaited first single in two years for the triumphant DJ trio Coco House Bros; a so-called ‘gift to the fans’ which marks a significant milestone in the group’s career. Drawing on their rich cultural background of the Cook Islands, ‘Mana,’ is a track which represents a culmination of years of experience, friendship and passion. This single is a tribute to the spirit of the Cook Islands with an overt purpose to create a sound that both moves the body and ‘stirs the soul.’ Recorded in the tranquility of an intimate studio in Rarotonga, ‘Mana,’ reflects the power of music and unity that radiates throughout this astonishing group. GETTING TO KNOW (COCO HOUSE BROS) Introduce yourself and your project Hey there! We’re the Coco House Bros, an indigenous DJ trio straight outta the culturally rich Cook Islands. It’s us—Mark Zow and Doctor E, along with our awesome female DJ Anthom. Picture this: coconut trees, endless ocean views, and those never-ending blue skies—we call this place home, and it’s where our journey as Coco House Bros all started. Our latest project, “Mana,” is basically our love letter to our fans, packed with all the good vibes and passion we have for house music. Explain what musical genre fits you best Our music is like a fusion of island vibes and all things house—it’s just who we are. We’re talking about those indigenous rhythms mixing in with the energy of our surroundings, creating this unique blend that screams Cook Islands. When you’re surrounded by the beauty of these islands, how can you not let that vibe flow into your tunes? That’s what we’re all about—bringing that island spirit into our house beats. Were you connected with music from a young age and did anyone inspire you? Since we were kids, we’ve been soaking up the sounds of the ocean waves, the sway of coconut palms, and the sweet tunes of our Polynesian culture. It’s like, these vibes were in our blood, you know? And on top of that, we’ve been jamming out to our musical heroes like Black Coffee, Da Capo, and Vintage Culture. They’ve been the soundtrack to our journey, shaping our style and keeping our creativity flowing. What kickstarted your music career? Our journey into music? Well, it all started with this burning desire to let the world in on the magic of our little slice of paradise. Picture it: the beauty, the peace, the whole vibe of our island home—it’s what got us fired up to start making music that really captures the essence of English Polynesia. Tell us more about your sound and how it’s evolved over time Our sound? It’s been a journey, man. We started off dabbling in electronic beats, just seeing what clicked. But as time rolled on, we found our groove—blending all sorts of house sub-genres with those chill Polynesian vibes. We slowed down the BPM, added some island flavour, and boom! Our signature sound was born. Each track tells the story of our evolution, mixing our roots with the beats we love. Any words you want to share to encourage other artists or producers? Hey fellow artists and producers, here’s a little tip from us: Take a look around your own backyard and soak up the vibes. Let the beauty of your own little paradise be your muse. Whether it’s the city streets or the countryside, there’s inspiration everywhere. So go ahead, let your creativity flow and make some magic happen! How do you nurture your industry relationships? We’re all about those industry connections, you know? It’s like, we’re out here building bridges that celebrate the awesomeness of our little paradise. And when we team up with folks who share our love for music, it’s like magic happens. Together, we’re putting the Cook Islands and Polynesia on the map, one beat at a time. Is there anyone you’d like to thank that’s been crucial to your journey? Big shoutout to our island crew! Seriously, you guys are the real MVPs. Your support and love have been our rock throughout this crazy journey. It’s your belief in us that keeps us going strong, repping the Cook Islands loud and proud with every beat. Much love to all of you! Name 3 songs you love and what they mean to you “The Rapture Pt.III” by &ME, Black Coffee, and Keinemusik we love how this track delivers a harmonious fusion of deep house and African rhythms. This track always ignites a transcendent energy on the dancefloor. We’ve always adored the original “Hey Hey” by Dennis Ferrer, but this latest extended remix by Da Capo and Kitty Amor is an absolute gem, infusing the track with fresh energy and an irresistible groove that’s simply unbeatable. “Innerbloom” by Rufus du Sol is a stunning masterpiece, blending beautiful melodies with touching lyrics to create a deeply moving musical journey that speaks to the soul. Its timeless beauty and emotional depth make it a standout for us. What’s your favourite piece of studio equipment or software? We’re all about Ableton Live—it’s our go-to studio software. We dig its user-friendly setup, packed with awesome features, and how smoothly it meshes with our creative flow. Whether we’re jamming out new ideas or experimenting with sounds, Ableton’s got our back for sure. Name your favourite club or festival and how it makes you feel Our go-to spot? Gotta be Rehab Raro, our local nightclub right here in Rarotonga. Think Space Terrace vibes straight outta ’90s Ibiza—that’s the energy you’ll catch when Coco House Bros take over the decks. It’s where the island really comes alive, and every night feels like a legendary party waiting to happen. Oh, and bonus: our best mate DJ Hab, who’s basically the ‘unofficial’ fourth member of Coco House Bros, just so happens to be the club owner. Talk about keeping it in the family! Name an outlandish rider request? Now, if we’re talking about an outlandish rider request, here’s a wild one for you: how about a fresh coconut water bar backstage, straight from the coconut trees of our beloved Cook Islands? And hey, while we’re at it, maybe throw in some crispy Cook Islands pork crackling too, if that’s not too much to ask! Favourite clubbing memory and who or what did it involve? Let me tell you about one of our most epic clubbing memories—it wasn’t even in a club! We’re talking about this unreal sunset session on a secluded sandbar called Honeymoon Island in the iconic Aitutaki lagoon. So get this: it went down during the pandemic when our borders were shut tight, and we were the only COVID-free spot on the map. Couldn’t tour, couldn’t travel—so we came up with this crazy idea of throwing a party smack dab in the middle of the lagoon. Brought together our crew, our fam, and our fans from the Cook Islands for a once-in-a-lifetime experience they’ll be talking about for ages. What famous quote represents you best? You know, there’s this quote we really vibe with: “Music is the universal language of mankind” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It hits the nail on the head for us because it sums up our belief in how music has this crazy power to bring people together, no matter where they’re from or what they’re about. It’s like, when the beat drops, all those barriers just fade away. If you could play at any venue, where would it be and why? You know, if there’s one spot we dream of rocking, it’s gotta be Ministry of Sound in London. That place is dripping with legend, packed with history, and the vibe? Unreal. Every set there? Pure magic. It’s the kind of energy that stays with you long after the party’s over. Music is….. (explain more) Music is like a conduit for all the feels.. It goes way beyond words, tapping into something deep inside us. No matter the language or where you’re from, it’s like music just gets you. It stirs up memories, feelings, and experiences that words alone can’t touch. It’s pure soul speak. One song you really couldn’t live without and why? There’s one track we just can’t do without: “The End” by Dirty South (Dirty South Mix). It’s been our ultimate go-to for closing out most of our gigs ever since we first heard it. Brings back so many memories, especially from back in the early 2000s when we caught Deep Dish dropping it to close out their set at Privilige Buzio. Man, those sunrise vibes after a crazy 12-hour party… unforgettable. Namedrop your favourite 5 artists or DJs (past or present) Little Louie Vega, Dave Lee (Joey Negro), Deep Dish, Rufus Du Sol and Claptone. What was your first music memory and how did it fuel your fire? [Mark Zow] My earliest music memory? Bob Marley in ’79, just a 5-year-old me chilling on my stepdad’s shoulders, mom by my side. We were at this concert, mainly ’cause there was no sitter around. But man, feeling the tunes, soaking up the vibes—that’s when I knew music was my jam. It sparked something in me, y’know? Been hooked ever since. Tell us more about your plans for the future Looking ahead, our goal is to keep spreading those lively Cook Islands vibes and infectious energy to people all over the globe. We’re stoked to release one track every month in 2024, starting right now. And hey, we’re all about teaming up with like-minded artists, exploring new sounds, and just inspiring folks to feel the power of music to bring us together and lift us up. Any worldly advice you’d like to share? Here’s some down-to-earth advice for all you aspiring artists and music lovers out there: Stay true to what lights you up, embrace what makes you different, and never forget the crazy impact music can have on people. Let your creative side call the shots, and let your love for music be your guiding light as you navigate this wild journey.

Linney turns introspection into a universal anthem of triumph with "Daisies," a narrative spun from the threads of overcoming her toughest times. For Linney, "Daisies" is a personal journey back to the stage after a year that saw her career momentarily paused by ACL surgery. However, she emerged not only healed, but also reborn, reminding us that clear skies are inevitable after every storm. Produced by Linney herself, "Daisies" blooms with life thanks to its percolating melodies and danceable rhythms. Painting pictures of resilience and renewal, the song invites fans to find their footing on the dancefloor of life, moving with the confidence. Check out the new track below. Linney's dominance in the dance music scene has been unmistakable as of late, particularly following the success of "Desire," a collaboration with Nicky Romero and TELYKAST that has taken the Beatport charts by storm, securing its place at the top for multiple consecutive weeks. The song's infectious energy and Linney's surprise performance during Romero's set at Ultra Miami earlier this year have solidified it as an early festival favorite in 2024. View the original article to see embedded media. "Daisies" is out now via Helix Records. You can find the new single on streaming platforms here.

The pioneers of live-streaming DJ performances from stunning locations around the world are taking their concept to the next level. Cercle has just unveiled “Cercle Moments” – ultra-premium multi-day travel packages that fully immerse guests in the music, culture, gastronomy, and natural wonders of iconic destinations. If you’ve ever watched one of Cercle’s breathtaking live streams, like the desert aired of Thal Ahmar or the set among the ancient ruins of Thessaloniki, you’ve probably daydreamed about being there in person. With Cercle Moments, those dreams can become reality in the most luxurious way possible. These are not your typical music festivals or events. Cercle Moments are carefully curated, all-inclusive voyages that blend exclusive musical performances with opportunities to deeply explore the local heritage, cuisine, art, and landscapes of each hand-picked locale. It’s a new frontier in experiential travel. The first three Cercle Moments destinations transport guests to iconic settings in France, Turkey and Brazil: French Riviera: This 5-day journey along the Côte d’Azur includes sailing the turquoise Calanques on a private catamaran, vineyard tours and tastings at Château La Coste, contemporary art exhibits, and beachside parties – all anchored by luxurious stays at 5-star hotels like the InterContinental Hotel Dieu. Cappadocia: Experience the magic of this otherworldly Turkish region with a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the “fairy chimneys,” cave hotel accommodations, guided tours of underground cities, and an intimate music party inside an iconic valley – complemented by adventurous activities like horseback riding and jeep safaris. O Ritmo do Rio: After kicking things off with a yacht party in Rio’s bay, this Brazilian adventure heads to the secluded tropical islands of Angra dos Reis for beachside music events, snorkeling excursions, and stays at the ultra-luxurious Fasano Rio de Janeiro and Fasano Angra dos Reis hotels. French Riviera Cercle Moment Transport yourself to the sun-drenched playground of the French Riviera. This will be a 5-day celebration of Mediterranean luxury. Your home base is in Marseille at the 5-star InterContinental Hotel Dieu. But the real indulgences begin with an intimate DJ party on Degaby Island. You’ll enjoy a 360-degree view of the sea and city skyline. Other highlights include sailing the turquoise waters of the Calanques National Park on a private catamaran, complete with live DJ beats and French cuisine. Oenophiles will revel in a full day at Château La Coste, featuring vineyard tours, tastings, contemporary art exhibits, and a closing night stay at the esteemed wine estate’s luxury accommodations. Throughout, you’ll experience the region’s renowned gastronomy. It includes seaside cafes to a special “surprise” day event filled with music, art, and celebration. Cappadocia Cercle Moment For an otherworldly travel experience, head to the ethereal “land of beautiful horses” – Cappadocia, Turkey. This 4-day journey whisks you to the heart of this geological wonderland of conical rock formations and subterranean cities carved into ancient volcanic ash. Soar above the unique fairy chimneys and valleys during a sunrise hot air balloon ride, explore underground cities and cave monasteries with private guides, and even gallop across the valleys on horseback or aboard a quad bike for more thrills. Your luxury accommodations are the cave-sculpted rooms of Aza Cave Hotel, set in an iconic Cappadocian landscape. The crowning experiences are immersive music and cultural events, from an intimate garden party at the hotel to a traditional Turkish dinner and performance under the starry skies of the iconic Kings Valley. It’s a magical confluence of natural grandeur, ancient heritage, and modern music. O Ritmo do Rio Cercle Moment Pulsing with an irresistible Brazilian beat, this 5-day oceanic odyssey kicks off amid the iconic beaches and samba energy of Rio de Janeiro before whisking you away to the secluded tropical paradise of Angra dos Reis. After toasting your arrival with a sunset yacht party in Rio’s picturesque bay, you’ll have your pick of aerial sightseeing via helicopter or paragliding over Rio’s famous peaks and coastline. Or indulge in spa treatments at your home base, the ultra-luxe Fasano Rio de Janeiro. Then it’s on to Angra dos Reis and the idyllic Fasano resort there, where days are spent island-hopping around the emerald coves, snorkeling among vibrant marine life, and grooving to live DJ sets on endless white-sand beaches. It’s an intoxicating celebration of sun, sea, samba-fueled rhythms and the laid-back spirit of Brazil’s vibrant costas. With Michelin-starred culinary experiences, first-class hospitality, insider cultural tours, and of course, exclusive live performances by world-class DJs in jaw-dropping venues, Cercle Moments represents the height of contemporary experiential luxury travel. Prices start around €4,000 per person, securing your place on these limited-capacity journeys. It’s not just a musical escape, but an unforgettable exploration of the world’s most inspiring places that you’ll never experience through a screen. Cercle is showing you can still discover new depths of wanderlust in the 21st century.
