Zaftig is an aural hedonist based in Naarm (Melbourne) hailing from the LA underground. Expansive and cinematic with music, she creates a seductive and sinister soundscape invoking a dark 80s energy. Playing modular hybrid sets powered by heavy EBM bass, driving Italo arps and layered with Electro and New Beat smut. Her use of analogue synths, hypnotic melodies, and relentless rhythms connect you to a diabolical dancefloor experience, always pushing you to the edge.

I enter this unknown underground in a burst of intoxication. The bass is already echoing through the red and wet corridor. As I enter past the threshold, the music pounds in my ears like a violent earthquake. The ground vibrates from under my feet up into my ribcage. A rising heat suddenly stifles me. I try to make my way through this crowd gathered into an impenetrable fauna. I advance through this hostile jungle until I enter a second room. The pounding sound keeps slaying my ears but my body seems to instinctively activate itself . The collective trance is overwhelming. My mind is spinning out of control. I feel different... and myself also. A hitherto unknown feeling floods my senses. I am stuck in this box with no apparent issue and yet I feel freer than ever. I discover a world full of illusions because in the end, this must be pleasure: the illusion of an ephemeral elsewhere for one night, from which only one feeling will remain.




C’est dans un élan d’ivresse que je pénètre dans ce souterrain inconnu.
Les basses résonnent déjà dans ce couloir rouge et humide.
Alors que je franchis la porte d’entrée, la musique arrive à mes oreilles comme un violent tremblement de terre. Le sol vibre sous mes pieds et jusque dans ma cage thoracique. Une montée de chaleur m’étouffe subitement.
Je tente de me frayer un passage entre tous ces gens constituant une faune impénétrable. J’avance à travers cette jungle hostile jusqu’à arriver dans une deuxième salle. Le son terrasse mes oreilles mais mon corps s’active instinctivement. La trance collective m’envahit.
Mon esprit devient incontrôlable. Je me sens différent mais moi même.
Une sensation jusqu’alors inconnue m'inonde. Je suis coincé dans cette boite sans issue apparente et pourtant plus libre que jamais.
Je découvre un monde rempli d’illusions car finalement c’est peut-être ça le plaisir : l’illusion d’un ailleurs éphémère le temps d’une nuit, dont il ne restera qu’une impression.

Italo Disco to Dark Disco to E.B.M. to Trance
