Book Anna Reusch once, you will book her forever. Determined, loving life, and fiercely self-reliant, Anna Reusch is on a path of creative success, taking on the world lovingly, on her own terms.
On a typical day, Anna works in the horse stables on her farm outside of Dresden during the day, then boards a plane to rock dance floors at night. This is the life she loves, and we get to join her on this amazing ride.
As a 15-year-old, Anna had already become a regular on the techno floor at Europalace, a club in Mainz-Kastel. She loved the light-heartedness and openness of the crowd, as well as the chance to simply dance the night away. Open-hearted and full of life, Anna soon became part of the scene and formed friendships, including one with the resident DJ.
One night, as she stood behind the DJ, he whirled around, stuffed his headphones into her hands, and said, “You take over, I need to go to the toilet!” With that, he vanished into the crowd. There she stood, 15-years young, never having mixed two records in her life, bearing the burden of keeping the party alive. She took a deep breath. Before she could step up to the challenge, the DJ returned, laughing, having played a trick on Anna. That moment changed her. Her self-reliant spirit demanded that she master this challenge.
From then on, Anna was always to be found behind the decks. People noticed her. She was a good DJ and was constantly getting better. Legendary Zyx Records signed the then 17-year-old Anna for a five-year deal. She experienced her first national tour, opening for Mark Oh. One moment she was riding the high of the newfound DJ life, but soon found she missed the down-to-earthness of the new world she now inhabited. Tired of the strenuous lifestyle and in need of more normality in her life, she went back to school, then on to study at university, all the while earning her keep, self-sufficient as ever, through modeling jobs.
Things started to pick up steam. Stefan Dabruck and she worked in the studio together, with releases on Weplay, Toca45, and Junx following. While moving to live on her farm close to Dresden, she found her new musical home back in the Rhein-Main area with the bouq. family. Bouq. label head Amir and Anna produced “Basara” in 2015, and her career took off from there. She found herself opening the Love Family Park, unleashing new levels of energy. Her calendar has been filling up ever since with gigs around the country and far beyond, playing at major festivals as well as legendary clubs like her cherished residency at Tanzhaus West in Frankfurt.
And just as things are starting to look great, they are only getting better. Her follow-ups on bouq. records “Lifesaver EP” (2016) and “My Own” (2017) took the dance floors by storm. With her “Atmosphere EP” on Tronic at the beginning of 2019, Anna headed towards her own groovy techno style, underlined with her following “Do It” EP (2019) on Transmit Recordings and “Runnin'” (2019) on the “Rockets Launch 07” compilation of Tronic Records. Since her “Come with Me” EP (2020) was super successful on Tronic again and her track “Knocking” was in every chart, she became an integral part of Peaktime Techno.
Bookers are finding out that if they book her once, they always come back for more because Anna delivers what she promises: to rely on herself, her intuition, her skill, and her love to deeply move the crowd. And the crowd and the music love her for it.
