DJ set by ZANIAH

  • Music

ZANIAH (also known as ZANIAH Revlon or Mother Zaniah Marciano) is a dancer, MC, host, and activist from Hamburg. Through ballroom and voguing, she found her way into club culture, where she has been an active and influential figure since 2017.

As Mother of the Kiki House of Marciano and founder of the ballroom collective MeowMondayz, she is a central figure in Hamburg’s ballroom and QTBIPOC club scene. Her practice combines performance, community work, and empowerment.

In her sets, ZANIAH translates the energy of dance directly into music: shaped by the intensity of the interplay between movement and sound, she blends Raptor House, Latin Tech, Jersey Club, Vogue Beats, Baile Funk, and Bouyon.
