On December 1st, 2023, the highly anticipated album ‘Blue-Devilled’ by MILDREDA was unleashed via Dependent Records. This marked a significant moment for fans eagerly awaiting the fusion of dark dance and hard electro that defines MILDREDA’s unique musical style. The release garnered immediate attention, securing the prestigious #1 ranking in the soundcheck review section of Sonic Seducer, a leading German magazine.
In conjunction with the album, MILDREDA delighted their audience with a visually captivating black-and-white video for “Devil’s Gaze.” Jan Dewulf, the band’s leader and mastermind, shared insights into the creative process, stating, “My aim was to craft a club track while staying true to the dark electro sound that defines us.” This commitment to artistic integrity has been a hallmark of MILDREDA’s approach.
Hailing from Belgium, MILDREDA made a notable debut with the album “I Was Never There” in 2021, establishing themselves as a force in the electro music scene.

CZARINA, is more than a musician; she’s a multifaceted artist who paints her sonic and visual landscapes with unmatched creativity. Born in the Philippines and now based in Spain, her music defies easy categorization, blending symphonic dark electro, neo-pagan mysticism, gothic prog rock, darkwave, synthpop, and more. CZARINA’s work is a tapestry woven from animist mysticism, folklore, mythology, metaphysics, and gothic themes, creating a sound and visual experience that transcends genres.
Her journey into music wasn’t a typical one. She began as a young performer and Broadway enthusiast, but her passion later shifted towards dark alternative rock and industrial music. However, she temporarily paused her musical pursuits to build a successful career in fashion, leading her own company. Yet, the relentless ambition and eventual burnout made her realize that something vital was missing – her music. CZARINA made a life-altering decision to reignite her musical path five years ago, drawing from the rich tapestry of life experiences and perspectives she had accumulated.
The name “CZARINA” echoes her past endeavors in building “empires” and her transformative journey towards higher principles and grounded pursuits. It’s a name that carries a sense of regality, much like her shared birthday with the legendary artist Prince.
What sets CZARINA apart is her refusal to fit neatly into any musical box. Her latest record, “Arcana,” defies categorization, blending electronic and organic elements with ancient and modern sounds. Her compositions incorporate intricate rhythms, harmonic layering between orchestral and electronic instruments, and her powerful vocals. CZARINA’s music captivates with its authenticity and complexity, defying easy classification.
Her creative process is deeply influenced by her surroundings. Moving from the bustling New York City to the mystical landscapes of Galicia, Spain, profoundly impacted her sound. The ethereal beauty of the Costa Da Morte, where her house sits by the water, seeped into her music, especially on her album “Arcana.” Her music became a vessel for capturing the magic of her newfound home.
CZARINA’s artistic journey has had its challenges, but she’s learned that success in music doesn’t always follow a predictable path. It’s not a matter of being the best; it’s about finding the right audience and developing a dedicated following. Authenticity doesn’t need to compete; it resonates with those who connect with it.
Beyond her music, CZARINA believes in the metaphysical power of sound. Music is a healer, and she views her favorite artists as magicians and alchemists who know how to harness sound for profound experiences and healing. Frequencies and vibrations can dismantle the walls we build within ourselves and bring about transformation.
CZARINA is not just a vocalist; she’s a multi-instrumentalist, playing the piano/keys, synths, and guitars. Each instrument contributes uniquely to her music, whether it’s the piano as her primary composing tool or the guitar adding a distinct voice to her compositions.
She draws inspiration from artists like Tool, whose intricate rhythms and sound designs have influenced her approach. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Bjork also inspire her to push creative boundaries while staying true to her own vision.
Her songs are open to interpretation, often holding multiple meanings and layers. For instance, “Wonderland” celebrates the magic of Galicia but also serves as a metaphor for the sacred wonder within all our lives, a reminder of the healing power of music.
Despite the challenges of a music career, CZARINA finds the most rewarding aspect in creating art that aligns with her vision and values. It’s about making something deeply personal and genuine. However, the music industry’s landscape is challenging, and artists often struggle to make a living. CZARINA believes in the power of authenticity and hopes for solutions to help independent artists thrive.
She actively supports causes that protect nature, the ocean, and wildlife, such as the Sea Shepherds. Nature and the environment hold a special place in her heart, and she advocates for their preservation.
Looking ahead, CZARINA aspires to tour the world and continue pushing her creative boundaries. Her music will evolve and progress, reaching more listeners and hearts.
In the coming months, she has exciting projects, including a cover song and music video, an epic music film for “The Fox’s Wedding,” and work on her third record, slated for release in 2024.
