Anastasia Kristensen

Copenhagen-based DJ and producer Anastasia Kristensen's distinct skills and electrifying DJ sets have set her apart from the crowd. Gathering sounds from a vast array of influences, she enthusiastically researches off-grid electronics and blends them together through an adventurous mixing technique. To become the selector that she is today, Anastasia embraced non-conformity and fortitude throughout her life, continuously aiming for her audience to let go on the dancefloor. Her avant-garde, dance-oriented sets captivate audiences in an instant. Whoever attends one of Kristensen's kaleidoscopic sets should be ready to get lost and experience the unpredictable.

Anastasia hosts annual all-nighters at Den Anden Side, the main underground venue in her hometown Copenhagen. She also holds release receptions, music related workshops and ran her own show on NTS for several seasons. All these platforms represent and express her versatility and community orientation and are key contributors to her experience of playing foggy, high-quality basements and festival stages dexterously and with devotion. Anastasia has played internationally at venues and events including UNSOUND Festival, CTM festival, and Field Day, as well as clubs like fabric, FOLD, BLITZ, Bassiani, Elysia, and Vega — where she supported Ryoji Ikeda. She has recorded DJ mixes for BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, Resident Advisor, Dekmantel, Crack, Mixmag and more.

  • As fun as Bestarium Sombre may be, it may one day be heard as a requiem.
    A Closer Listen
  • What makes 'Bestiarium Sombre' so compelling is the way it embraces disorder without ever losing coherence.
    Clash
  • A genuinely imaginative re-casting of classic UK electronic sounds…

  • Instead, this album hits you like an acid trip — vivid, wondrous and completely unreal.
    DJ Mag
  • More to the point, Kristensen manages to say a lot in that compact space, and with so much to chew on, repeat visits become an essential, and inviting, prospect.
