About

Jenя ( Jenia ) Gatash is a queer feminist DJ, music producer, and art director from Odessa ( Ukraine ), currently based in France. Her every mix is a story of sensations where a sound collage becomes a single metaphysical space drawn up with strokes of contrasting music genres: instrumental music, jazz, opera, techno, electro, dark disco, electroclash, acid, experimental, with touches of ambient textures and surrealist lyrics. Jenя works as a sound producer with galleries and theatre projects, performs as a DJ. She was a curator of art and performance events at the AWAZ music festival. Jenia organized the first open queer events Q'paradise in the muslim capital of Tatarstan, currently she continues this project in France. She experiments extensively with the representation of opera and baroque music in contemporary contexts. She defines her artistic, performative, and musical works within this framework as meta-opera / experimental opera and post-rave
