Zamilska – From Underground Electronic Music to the World’s Biggest Stages

Once dubbed the “Queen of Polish Techno,” Zamilska has built a reputation for mesmerizing live performances driven by hypnotic beats and powerful bass. Yet her music defies simple categorization, constantly venturing into distant and unexpected sonic territories.

From world music and industrial to film scores and even extreme metal, Zamilska moves effortlessly between genres while remaining one of the most distinctive figures in contemporary Polish electronic music. Her hypnotic compositions have captivated audiences at festivals and clubs worldwide, while also finding their place in films and video games.

Albums and International Recognition

Natalia Zamilska’s career has steadily evolved since the release of her debut album Untune, which opened the door to performances across Europe. Her subsequent releases – Undone, Uncovered, and the acclaimed United Kingdom Of Anxiety – have firmly established her as one of the leading artists in contemporary Polish electronic music.

Her work has earned recognition from icons of the international alternative scene. Iggy Pop has featured her music on his BBC radio show, she joined Kim Gordon as a special guest on her European tour, and Nine Inch Nails included her track FuckFray on an official curated playlist of recommended artists.

Film, Television and Video Games

Zamilska’s music has long extended far beyond the concert stage. It can be heard in the award-winning soundtrack to the video game RUINER, as well as in films and television series distributed worldwide, and has also accompanied major fashion shows. In 2023, she composed the score for Mother’s Day, directed by Mateusz Rakowicz. The film reached Netflix’s Global Top 10, earning her another Fryderyk Award nomination as well as the Audience Award at the Kraków Film Music Festival. In 2025, her track Rise was featured in the promotional campaign for From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, further confirming the international reach of her work.

An Artist Connecting Musical Worlds

Since the beginning of her career, Zamilska has embraced collaborations with artists representing a wide range of musical aesthetics. Her impressive list of collaborators includes Nosowska, Maria Peszek, Paulina Przybysz, and Quebonafide. At the same time, she feels equally at home in more radical sonic landscapes, as demonstrated by her tour alongside the acclaimed Polish black metal band Furia.

Her performance at the Fonomo Music & Film Festival will offer a rare opportunity to experience an artist who has spent years pushing the boundaries of electronic music. Expect a hypnotic journey through immersive soundscapes, driven by tension, rhythm, and uncompromising energy.
