Since started this Ko-fi goal, I got an influx of donations from fake email accts, which means I can't use the funds until paypal resolves it. I'm pretty bummed considering this was for a food bank.

If anyone feels like donating via venmo, I'll send 100% to the food bank this afternoon. Link in bio

At No. 7 in the 10 Best Synthpop Music Videos of 2025 Antibody, Binary Division, & CZARINA "My Enemy" CZARINA makes this countdown for a third year running, cementing her status as one of the most visionary artists in the scene. Though "My Enemy" is a collaboration with dark electro acts Antibody and Binary Division, the video is pure Kitsunés— CZARINA and her husband Carlos's production company. Their special effects just keep getting better. Set once again in the mythical landscape of Galicia, Spain, this one finds two CZARINAS— one light, one dark-battling atop a rocky coastline. It's fierce, gorgeous, unmistakably CZARINA.

C Z A R I N A - Dagger In The Heart
♰ New Single and Music Video ♰

December 5

🩶🗡️ czarinaofficial.bandcamp.com/album/dagger...

#goth #gothic #synthpop #darkwave #orchestral
Coming December 5 C Z A R I N A unveils “Dagger In The Heart,” a breathtaking fusion of gothic synthpop, darkwave, and orchestral splendor that glows with both sorrow and strength. Her honey-coated, jewel-toned vocals shift from fragile whispers to blistering, soaring wails as the song journeys through darkness toward dawn. Laced with celestial choirs and sweeping arrangements, it’s a hymn of survival — holding on through the night, trusting that the stars will light the way. “Starry nights, come and hold me,” she pleads, turning pain and heartbreak into something radiant and divine. The result is both ethereal and visceral — a cinematic release that reminds us that hope can still rise from the deepest dark. The single arrives with a cinematic music video inspired by the fantastical visuals of 80s classics like The NeverEnding Story, Legend, and Labyrinth, infused with a distinct gothic edge. Presented by darkTunes Music Group Written, Produced, Performed, Mixed and Mastered by C Z A R I N A Music Video, Photography and Cover Art by The Kitsunés

My debut music video for this was massive. My directorial debut, also did the creative direction, styling, costume, editing, post, coloring. It’s a little dark (and NSFW), inspired by Tokyo’s Kabukicho and Wong Kar Wai.
I’m very proud of how strong this music project began.

11|11 🖤 My debut LP “Painted Holograms” celebrating its 7th year. I can’t believe it has been that long. My first foray into production - a blend of neon noir, synthpop, dark pop, darkwave and dark rock.

10 years ago today, @cmags27.bsky.social and I adopted this little girl. Despite the grizzle, she still acts like a puppy.

Happy Lila Day, sweet girl. We love you.

By the way, since we’re on the lovely subject of caskets, the cover for my last LP, along with the animated sequence, was meant to show a cyborg preserved in a futuristic burial glass chamber, coming back to life.

As much as possible, I try to include my little doggo Hamlet in my music videos. He always does a good job stealing the spotlight. This is one of my favorites - him as Baby Cerberus in “Medusa” 🐍🖤

Woke up this morning to find out I am taking a substantial paycut. As such, if you are in need of mixing and mastering for affordable rates, please contact me. Currently, I'm like $1800 a month short of where I should be just to keep my kids fed and the lights on.
