will release her new mini-album ‘Thunder Is The Sky Dreaming’ on November 19th.

The Chinese-born producer is now based in London, a figure who blends a passion for electronic world-building with aspects of her roots. Growing up on Mandarin and Cantonese pop and post-punk, these aspects merge with digital lexicon to craft a unique studio voice.

To date, Stella Z has released two album – 2023 project ‘In The Woods, Will Be Late’ and last year’s ‘Fig’, her contribution to the celebrated Music to Watch Seeds Grow By series. 

For her new work, Stella Z draws on the power of lucid dreaming, an intensely vivid world that opens up different aspects of her imagination.

As Stella explains, “I dream almost every single night. With lucid dreaming, sometimes it becomes a dream within a dream, a trap I can’t quite wake from. I can even smell things in certain dreams. These intensely sensory dreams seriously disrupt my sleep. I tried to cure it. Chinese medicine, brain training, all sorts of things. Nothing really worked. So this project is about finally accepting it as part of my body.”

“Every night is an adventure”, she continues. “Time travel, the joy of reunion, heartbreak, regrets, little hints for real life. I can direct my dreams in the way I want. I now have a whole box of made-up stories in my brain, with people, places, sounds and plots that never happened, but somehow feel familiar and remembered. Now I’ve started looking forward to every night’s dream.”

Out on November 19th, new track ‘Mira Miruna’ is available now.
