Kevin Parker is well-versed in the art of transcendence. The man who’s spent years electrifying our brainwaves with echo and reverb took things one step further on October 10th in Mexico City, where Tame Impala joined forces with Cercle—the global music platform known for transforming cliffs, castles, and cathedrals into ephemeral nightclubs. This time, Parker was behind the decks, celebrating the release of his new album, Deadbeat (out October 17).

If Currents was heartbreak you could dance to, Deadbeat is the afterparty where everyone’s barefoot and the ground is still humming. Inspired by bush doofs and Western Australian rave lore, the record drags Parker’s kaleidoscopic sound through red dust until it’s all you can see—straight rhythm, sweat, and strobe.

The set unfolded in a secret location revealed only to registered attendees, where Cercle’s multi-cinematic gaze turned the performance into something between ritual and fever dream. For those inside, it wasn’t just a DJ set—it was Tame Impala reborn, stripped to rhythm and rendered communal.

As collaborations go, it was pure alchemy: Parker’s meticulous psychedelia meeting Cercle’s obsession with place, light, and atmosphere. Somewhere between art installation and lucid dream, Deadbeat found its pulse.

For everyone else, the performance drops on Cercle’s YouTube channel October 28—proof that transcendence can, occasionally, be streamed.
