Anastasia Zems' output has a hypnotising effect. Her dark and seductive brand of electronic music sucks you in, drags you under and consumes you whole. 

Distinguished by her sultry vocals, which feature in every single one of her productions, regardless of whether its an original work or a remix, she describes her creations as an escape from the urban concrete jungle she grew up in.

These have found their place on a host of labels so far, from London non-profit imprint Needs to Paris platform Les Yeux Orange, as well as IDA and Why People Dance - now she makes her debut on one of our very own labels.
