Anahit Vardanyan

Born in the capital of Armenia, Yerevan, Anahit Vardanyan’s unique productions are informed by her nation’s traditional music, as well as blending influences from techno, electronic and ethnic sounds from across the globe. A remarkable producer, as well as talented selector, she cultivates a spellbinding atmosphere throughout her work, utilising her classical training. With a penchant for emotive melodies, positive musicality and a desire to focus on the brighter elements of techno, Anahit’s mission is to build a diverse global community of music fans, and creators, all connected by the same deep rooted love.

Music is Anahit’s calling. She went from playing piano at the age of seven to studying at the Conservatory of Yerevan. After graduating in 2016, she took the bold decision to leave her home nation and head to Hamburg, where she began to truly blossom. Anahit’s earliest experiences with electronic music came through her studies and then in Hamburg’s clubs and bars. This was the first time she felt a deep connection to electronic music, and, in her own words, she fell in love. With her formal training and wide-ranging influences, Anahit’s early productions were of a high enough standard to find a home on an Armenian label run by her friends. From there she released with German labels Jannowitz Records and Alaula, plus Hydrozoa in Los Angeles.

Anahit’s relationship with the piano is everything, it’s her channel for expressing the full spectrum of her emotions - she can be joyful and happy or depressed and sad, it all flows freely with the instrument that is so fundamental to her creativity. She is acutely aware of how music impacts the state of mind and wellbeing of those who are listening to it, working to ensure that her productions have a positive influence. As she continues to develop and evolve, keeping a strong focus on her output and desires, Anahit is cultivating an unparalleled legacy while making a unique contribution to the progression of global electronic music culture.
