DIANA ANASTASIA UNVEILS LUMINOUS EXPERIMENTAL “2025 EP” (PRESS RELEASE)

The underground artist writes, sings and produces the lento electronica album

London-based Diana presents the minimally-titled “2025”

Hooks up with Chicago minimal techno producer to mix and refine using technical hardware and analog drums

An album that integrates a range of lyrical manifestos

Layers surreal narratives in tracks like Gravity, a drama of spiritual loyalty, anchored in a tango

The Artist is a declaration of principles through deadpan one-liners. It features Clarke’s sleek electronic elements that are derived from analog drums, played in real time before being processed

Raw vocals are soft and introspective.

“I rejected any touch of tuning for a sound that’s subtle and raw, a sincerity that’s frankly different to what’s out there”

Celebration of colour in the grand cinematic pop composition Everyone. Hopeful and nostalgic. Its boundary-pushing structure subverts the obligations of a pop track. Written in fragments and tied up with excellent orchestral composition. Explores an experimental-alternative sentiment, that does not cloud the essence of what is grand melodic-pop artistry

Penchant for hypnotic, trance-like Surrealism, in the melancholic yet upbeat “Bajo un Otro Sol” which the artist performs in her native Spanish. It was given the green-light by maestro Vicente Mañó (Manager/promoter Depeche Mode, Soft Sell, Joe Cocker, Alejandro Sanz). In this piece, Electronic Producer and guitarist Joe Coyne (Nine Rounds Rapid). weaved together acoustic and analog synths, resulting in a simple but expansive sonic landscapes co-created in a shared dreamworld.

The bpm is slowed down to the natural rhythm of the heart in The Sorrento Hotel. “It was the final composition of my study of tempo and breath, where I wanted to achieve the exact bpm that allows the body to move, but keeps the nervous system in a parasympathetic state, which is one of rest and restoration”

Every track is a declaration of principles

Diana’s unwillingness to summit to industry standards, rejecting also the standards in alternative experimental that decrete all music to be overtly strange, purposefully ugly or monotonous.

“Nothing about my music demands to fit into a subculture” the artist says. “I don’t want to be inserted into anyone else’s program”

Comparisons

Musically, it’s reminiscent of Bjork’s audacity and uniqueness, Kate Bush’s otherwordly eclectism and viscerality, and Del Rey’s melancholic orchestral drifts and aesthetic sophistication.

about Diana

The ibiza-born artist splits her time between London and Ibiza.

She broke into the scene with the rock n roll “All my Jewels”, crafted with legendary producer Chris Kimsey (The Rolling Stones, INXS, The Beatles). The subsequent "Skin and Girls” was co-written with another rock n roll dynamo, the late Guy Bailey, frontman from the Quireboys. Soon afterwards, “Bikini Beach Party” was a languid soft venture into retro-alt-pop, aided by classical composer G. Serra. And after that, she collaborated in Minimal House tracks with DJs Ashley Caselle + Dan Cat (“Neon”) and notably Chicane for Armada Music “How does your House work”.

Her collaboration with Chris Clarke in the minimal techno field has been ongoing and has culminated in 2025 with him taking over the current mixes and becoming a fixture.

In the last decade, her works have been largely self-produced and leaned into Experimental, a more deliberate vocal and a simplified ambiance. They present a new spoken word performance but also a continuing insistence in feel-good, radiant, luminous melodies- in contrast with most other alternative experimental music.
