New York, NY
In celebration of Pride month and following her latest release Disco Automatic, Australian-based singer, DJ, artist and proud queer community member Tanzer has released the video for the art installation Disco Instamatic underscored by her single “Deep Fried Disco” as remixed by Butch Le Butch. Watch the new music video HERE!

Disco Instamatic (music video version)

Created by Tanzer in collaboration with queer screen culture magazine Sissy Screens, Disco Instamatic is a large-scale, hyper-color screen work. Featuring 20 stars of Melbourne’s dynamic queer arts scene—including Tanzer, The Huxleys, Mo’Ju, Atong Atem and Karen From Finance—this immersive installation unites music, drag, dance and visual art.

The locomotive love child of Antonio Lopez’s Instamatics and Andy Warhol’s Polaroids, Disco Instamatic is inspired by Tanzer’s work as a disco DJ and original musician within the queer clubs of Australia. The song “Deep Fried Disco”describes a fictional disco utopia where all problems are forgotten and we can find escape, glamour and hope surrounded by other members of the queer community.

Sissy Screens produced the moving-image Disco Instamatic installation and engaged Melbourne-based queer film crew for this project. Sissy Screens promotes queer cultural production and aims to amplify and celebrate the voices and work of LGBTQIA+ creatives.

Tanzer, the creator & director of Disco Instamatic says “Disco Instamatic is a glamorous time capsule that captures, elevates and amplifies the icon within. In a breathless, glittering moment - the viewer can come face to face with a superstar, in a vignette as intimate as it is dazzling.”

Tanzer previously released her mini-album Disco Automatic. The 6-song release shows the range of Tanzer’s multi-hyphenate abilities in all of its disco, pop, operatic majesty. The accompanying videos also dazzle with an array of themes from Drag (including Tanzer’s Drag King persona) to Sci-Fi and so much more. Disco Automatic includes previous singles “Fantasy,” “Tango,” and “Deep Fried Disco.”

ABOUT TANZER
Tanzer is in the business of escapism - and escape you shall. A singer, composer, DJ and visual artist, Tanzer is known for her cinematic, high-glamour, escapist works that are at once intensely powerful, deeply fragile and darkly humorous. Her work spans stages, clubs, galleries and festivals and fuses musical forms to a multitude of performative and artistic outcomes. Her musical compositions move from opera to disco and from the experimental to pure pop - exploring self-image, gender, romance and the power of the alter ego. Her film and curatorial works are renowned for their elaborate dreamscapes and meticulous aesthetic that take stylistic cues from ‘70s retro-futurism, Euro-camp and Australian pop culture nostalgia.
