Anastasia Kristensen
[DK]
Resident at Copenhagen venue Culture Box and queer party Mainstream, Anastasia Kristensen is a DJ and producer that has taken dance music by storm since appearing just a few years ago.
“Kristensen emerged from seemingly nowhere to become one of the most talked-about young DJs of 2017.” (Mixmag) Her DJ sets offer a whirlwind of emboldened selections and dynamic intensities, as heard in her mixes for Resident Advisor, FACT Magazine, and Mixmag, to name a few. They incorporate barrelling breaks, blistering techno, and buoyant electro, all in a scintillating fashion.
Always the adventurer, the Copenhagen-via-Moscow artist has relentlessly honed her craft over recent years, finding inspiration far and wide. Kristensen is known for an astute ear, a passion for crate-digging, and a curious approach to music. She has DJ’d across the globe, at festivals such as Berlin Atonal, Krakow’s Unsound, Dimensions Festival Croatia. She has toured North America, and appeared at venues such as London’s Fabric, Berlin’s Säule, and Tbilisi’s Bassiani.
When it comes to her own productions, she has released a slew of remixes for influential producers such as Daniel Avery and Special Request. For the CTM x Bassiani collaboration, Kristensen will present the international premiere of her new live set.
