Marijn S

Marijn S is a Dutch producer and DJ who showcases the organic age of dance with radiant breaks, gritty, icy soundscapes and hauntingly beautiful textures. She began her musical journey as part of the record label and podcast series Kulture Lab, contributing on several VA releases. Shortly after, she released her debut EP on the Berlin-based label Spray, followed by several solo EPs on Amsterdam's Polychrome Audio, Milan's BSR and Hong Kong's Transarctica.

As a producer, Marijn combines multiple contrasts in her work; the raw, pure and timeless essence of music. Embracing simplicity and tranquility, she infuses her creations with a sense of familiarity that resonates with listeners on a profound level. Marijn is also intrigued by the darker, experimental, and complex aspects of music. She sees this realm as an uncharted territory, filled with untapped potential. Her artistic expression is characterised by the playful juxtaposition of these contrasts.

In her DJ sets, she masterfully fuses diverse sounds, moving from the subtle build of 'soft rave' slow burners to the high-energy pulse of break-driven rhythms. The brain eagerly races to keep pace with what the ears perceive, as deep, dark strains of dub, breakbeat, electro, and drum & bass shift and transform, drawing the listener into hypnotic and immersive atmospheres.

She's played notable gigs such as De School (AMS) Garage Noord (AMS), Dekmantel Festival (AMS), La Cheetah (Glasgow) and participated in events like Ilian Tape's Amsterdam takeover at the Melkweg and two BSR label showcases in Italy.

Marijn S has recently made her live performance debut for STOOR / PINK NOISE during ADE, playing only with her so described 'machine of self expression': One hour full of her own creations, ranging from textured ambience and dreamy IDM to heavy distorted bass, abstract noise and heavy hitting electro & techno.
