We sat down with Anaïs to get a glimpse into her journey as a DJ and producer.

Anaïs credits her best friend Anton (Invicta Audio) as a major influence on her musical path. After visiting Anton in Bristol and experiencing the vibrant music scene firsthand, she was inspired to pursue DJing. Over the course of the lockdown, Anaïs delved into production, with her girlfriend (Oppidan) playing a significant role in teaching her the ropes.

Her debut EP, ‘Badgyal,’ released on Deep In The Jungle, DJ Hybrid’s label, in 2021, achieved significant success, reaching number one on JunoDownload. This accomplishment played a crucial role in shaping her current musical trajectory.

Looking at Anaïs’ busy summer schedule, it’s evident that her career is skyrocketing. With performances lined up in London, Brighton, Ibiza, Belgium, Cardiff, and Romania, the travel involved can be demanding. However, Anaïs embraces the excitement and is eager to embark on this new chapter.

When it comes to passing the time during long flights, Anaïs finds solace in reading books or making music. Sometimes, she simply takes the opportunity to relax and let her mind wander.

Anaïs’ talent and unique sound caught the attention of Hospital Records, where she participated in their women’s mentorship program. This experience not only enhanced her production skills but also gave her insight into what major labels seek in music submissions. When she received the call that Hospital Records wanted to release her music, she was ecstatic. Having the opportunity to work with a prestigious label so early in her career was a dream come true.

The Hospital connection has deepened, as Anaïs is set to perform at their highly anticipated events this summer, including In The Woods in London, On The Harbour in Bristol, their stage at Glastonbury, and their D&B summer holiday in Croatia. The anticipation for these performances is palpable, and Anaïs can hardly contain her excitement.

Summing up what audiences can expect from her set at Hospitality In The Woods, Anaïs uses five words: Fun, Happy, Nutty, Mental, and Fat. With such a thrilling combination, her performance is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
