Anna Mancarella, born in socialist Poland and arriving in Germany as a refugee at age two, discovered dance early. She moved from a jazz dance group that reached the 2nd Bundesliga to a teenager’s fascination with techno, drawn by the music and club culture. She often sneaked into clubs as a minor to watch performances and dance passionately on the speakers. At18, Anna began DJing vinyl independently. She soon played at youth centers, private parties, and then regularly headlined bars and clubs in Cologne. Some of them on residency. She hosted her own event series at Cologne’s Jaki Club.
For several years, she managed the blog for Electronic Beats by T-Mobile, sharing daily insights into art, design, and music, conducting interviews with notable artists and reporting on events in Europe. She notably shared the stage with James Blake at the Cologne Electronic Beats Festival and drew the attention of fashion designers, including Karl Lagerfeld, who booked her for events.
After a pause to focus on her private life, she returns to the turntables with something special: her own tracks. “I felt the urge to come back and express something that was hidden inside me—my own music. I wasn’t ‘done’ with being a DJ; the urge to express something deep inside my soul drove me back for a powerful comeback.”
Driven by ambition and passion, Anna strives to take her sound to the global stage and make it resonate worldwide. Her themes center on freedom and expression through movement.
