Dj Mary's Info

bio

BIOGRAPHY: "I got infatuated with electronic music with artists like Kraftwerk ("Man Machine" album is one of my faves), Jean-Michel Jarre and the new wave techno-pop bands like Human League, Soft Cell, old Depeche Mode stuff, Visage, Ultravox, Japan, Blancmange, etc. In 1989, Ive started working in the KSET club, where we were playing various types of interesting electronic music, spicing it up with some industrial sounds. My record collection includes a wide spectre of electronic music styles, from older stuff like Cabaret Voltaire, DAF and Severed Heads to the then popular industrial bands like Test Department and SPK, who were a big influence on what I do musically today. I should by no means forget mentioning artists like Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly (my favorite band from those days), their side-projects (Delerium, Synaesthesia, Intermix), and the brilliant Clock Dva project from the musical genius Adi Newton. I was including then many EBM (Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, Ministry, etc.), New Beat and Acid House releases to my sets. All those music styles have influenced me strongly, and I would not be doing things the way I do them today without such musical education. I like my dj sets fluctuate between being hypnotic and powerful, and I love to knit into them the musical influences I've mentioned above. Music taste built on electronic music of the 80s and 90s gave me a good basis for the work Ive been doing nowdays, from tribalistic driving bangin' techno to sometimes harder techno-house sets with electro(nic) influences. I have made it a rule to myself to always play music from the soul and with the soul. Not just matching the bloody beats - there must be more to a set than just technical perfection. My original plan and the fundamental reason as to why I'm doing the things I do, was to always present something new to the audience - new sounds and new energy."

PROFILE: DJ Mary has been into electronic music since the end of the eighties beginning of ninetines, when he started with a refreshing choice of hard funky music, enriched with EBM (electronic body music), Acid House, New Beat and others. More than 15 years of DJ-ing experiences, ardent dedication, and a unique choice of music (varying from one set to another) have modelled a DJ/Producer, who enjoys a big respect and popularity at the Croatian electronic music scene. His deep love of electronic music has produced an equisite music taste, which is the primary source of inspiration for his work. He uses his technical skills to perfection, playing with mathematically structured Techno sequences and moods, while hypnotising the audience with relentlessly percussive driving beats. He like dj sets fluctuate between being hypnotic and powerful, and he love to knit into them the musical influences mentioned above.
