Zhanna is a Ukrainian Disc Jockey, but also an artist, composer, and an accomplished singer. Born in the city of Kiev, and having the soul of a transient being, she started at an early age traveling through East Europe, absorbing everything around her, soaking in life, people, cultures and landscapes, which is now the essence of her inspiring and highly sought after work.As a teenager, she began performing live in big cities like Kiev, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Kharkov and more; while organizing innovative parties and unique underground events, thus finding a way to channel here talents as a true and masterful artist.Having performed for multitudes of music lovers in different cultures, while gathering feedback from professionals and requests from coinsures and listeners, Zhanna has broadened her artistic and cultural horizons, adding experience to her performance without losing her unique personal identity.Zhanna has performed with many other great musicians and participates actively as a singer with many international artists like Carlos Ann, Mr. Smith, Nadia Sohaei, Sweater, Cooptrol, Brunetto and last but not least, Felix Da Housecat who has open the door and paved the way for people in the United States to hear and enjoy her amazing work.One can identify 2 unique and completely different styles to and in her work. Her first accomplished ability shows stylistic refinement while she plays tracks of Tretemoller, Jimmy Edgar, Alter Ego, Apparat and Ellen Allien.
But she also has a second offer. One that’s more energetic, upbeat and alive. Fun and fitting perfectly, for those that express themselves with dance! Head to the dance floor! She is able to create an unforgettable experience at parties, where you and your guests will be taken to the edge! In this other style of performance, Zhanna plays with artists like: Felix Da Housecat, Miss Kittin, Lifelike, Cicada, Sebastian Ingrosso, Motor and many more. And when she picks up the microphone, applause and gratitude is not far off. Her work is being used, worked and remixed by great DJ’s like Armand Van Helden, Kris Menace, Lost Daze, UN Jaz and Electronica Discreta.Trying to describe Art with mere words, or in intimate description or detail, is difficult to do, and does not do proper justice to Zhanna’s work. One must hear and experience it. So... listen and live her music and see where Zhanna can take you.

El disco nos revela el particular universo de Zhanna,
marcado por sus profundas raíces, tanto ucranianas como siberianas.
Sus letras nos evocan a escritores como Bulgakov, Marina Tsvetaeva,
Alexander Blok, Boris Pasternak, Anna Akhmatova, Anton Chekhov, envueltas
entre cortes trip-hop y atmósferas Lounge que suponen una inmersión
en su mundo intimo e interno, femenino y frágil, rupturista con
lo preestablecido. Una electrónica entre lo más añejo
y oxidado de lo soviético, con todo su glamour, y la vanguardia.
Todo un lujo para los oídos. Digital Release only.
