Amplify Series 117 - Serpentskin

Dirty Epic welcomes aboard @zanias for our 117th episode of Amplify Series. Zanias has been haunting underground clubs around the world with her instantly recognisable voice and uniquely ethereal electronic productions since 2011, with the spawning of her first project Linea Aspera in London. She has since relocated to Berlin and released under a multitude of aliases and collaborations, including the band Keluar with Sid Lamar of Schwefelgelb, and vocals for Dax J, Ancient Methods, I Hate Models, Fractions and Infravision (Kendal and Pablo Bozzi). She also co-founded and runs the independent label Fleisch Records, which was a major driving force in the resurgence of electronic body music in the Berlin techno sphere with releases from artists such as Schwefelgelb, Forces, Kontravoid, Infravision and Kris Baha. Her live appearances at Berghain, Khidi, Wave Gotik Treffen and Cruel World Festival alongside Duran Duran and Blondie, as well as guest appearances on stage singing with the Jesus and Mary Chain, have allowed her voice to reach far beyond the darkwave and EBM corners from which she sprung. Under her solo moniker Zanias has released an EP and four full-length LPs, all to underground critical acclaim. Her most recent album, 2024’s ‘Ecdysis’, was praised as “rich in atmosphere and hugely evocative” when Louder Than War proclaimed it ‘Album of the Week’ upon its release on Fleisch and Metropolis Records. With her new alias and its self-titled debut EP ‘Serpentskin’, Zanias seeks to express the side of herself that feels just as at home in the DJ booth as on stage with a microphone. Fusing her love of wave and hyperpop with the structures and textures of trance, she deftly carves a new niche in dance music with her signature vocals and a taste for euphoric and evocative melodies. Serpentskin’s debut EP will be released on Fleisch Records on the 10th of March, 2025. Vinyl + Digital.
