Copenhagen’s flash of energy, Anastasia Kristensen shares two more remixes of unreleased tracks, with Danish techno titan Ctrls and Brooklyn’s ballroom scene darling, quest?onmarq stepping up for rework duties.

Following the recent, acclaimed remix of ‘Voice Within’ from Galway’s party-starter KETTAMA, this is the second hint towards an incredibly exciting project on which Anastasia is still yet to shed light.

Taking ‘Volshebno’ to new dimensions, Anastasia’s close friend and Token Records mainstay Ctrls delivers a wigged out, acid-tinged electro workout. Spliced with a mesmerising, dreamy breakdown and a whomping bassline, this is fast-paced euphoria at its finest.  

 

 Describing his remix, Ctrls says, 

 
“Anastasia's dramatic breakbeat concept as seen through a plastic jungle techno lens”


Multifaceted sound artist Ctrls has been immersed in club music for most of his life. A producer, performer, engineer and a globally renowned DJ, his classy take on techno has been finessed throughout the journey. Impossible to pigeonhole, Ctrls has explored many genres under various monikers - drum'n'bass under Pyro, house as 2400 Operator, and industrial leaning sounds as Northern Structures.

Anastasia Kristensen - Volshebno (Ctrls Remix)

Core-member of the collective Daytimers, @user-500557389 has enjoyed a meteoric rise in 2021, with her debut podcast, club set, festival appearance, international booking and vinyl release all coming in the past year.

With her background originating in classical music and jazz, Riva fell under the spell of electronic music whilst growing up in the Middle East. From there, her taste and appreciation for music became borderless and eclectic, drawing inspiration from her British-Indian background and experiences of living in Hong Kong and South Africa. Her music does not hinge on one genre as Riva sees music as a form of storytelling and protest, and thus is always on the hunt for rhythms that can spread a message, unify and emancipate the listener on the dancefloor. 

Aside from her own music, Riva has been constantly championing other South Asian artistry through her role with Daytimers - who themselves enjoyed a breakthrough year - and being part of the organising team of the highly successful debut festival, Dialled In. She also brought together Daytimers and Big Dyke Energy to release the charity compilation ‘Celebrating Pride: For the Community, By the Community’ to raise money for several LGBTQI+ organisations.

Riva has recorded an exclusive set for our Detect series.
