With songs released on IDA, MMusic, Electrique Music, Electric Shapes, and Whypeopledance in her pocket, as well as upcoming material for Les Yeux Orange and label Needs, Anastasia Zems is conquering the hearts of a worldwide audience with her songwriting and vocals. Born in the legendary scenery of St. Petersburg, in her music Anastasia is chasing a counterpart to that upbringing, the tribal sounds of rainforests that she will take back to the busy clubs of the cities.

Zems started her love affair with electronic music literally in the womb since her mom was working as a nightclub admin at the time. This natural ease within the electronic music arena can be felt in both Anastasia's DJ sets and production.

Coming from a musical family with training in singing, dance, and musical theatre, Anastasia makes music as automatic writing, letting her impulses lead the way, with no apparent goal, and with only a tidy workspace prepared. She will pour a cup of acid run over the tribal cereals switch the tempo up and down, but the instinct-led first-take vocals will always be there, making her a devotee to the process. This vocal-infused signature production is ready for a stand-off with leftfield mid-tempo giants.

For her LAYER, Anastasia shows a lot of character within the before-mentioned tempo field. From seductive tunes, over harsh cyberwar soundtracks, to lunatics taking over the microphone, it's all there packed in a meticulous and challenging flow.
