EMILIJA takes center stage in this NASTY digital cover story. No stranger to the shadows of the dancefloor, she’s a bold presence in the techno scene, weaving sound, style, and a raw feminine force that refuses to be boxed in. On the launch of her new party series Age of Venera, we tapped into her mindset to uncover the deeper vision behind the project: ritual, rebellion, divine rage, and the sensual chaos of becoming. This isn’t just nightlife. It’s initiation. Paired with an exclusive shoot by the NASTY creative team: Marco Giuliano behind the lens and Anca Macavei on styling, EMILIJA emerges in her raw, neo-Venus element.
