Continuously trying to exceed his own limits, MARRØN employs fast rhythmics inspired by his roots. The artist’s moniker pays homage to the strong-willed MARRØN’s, a once-enslaved African tribe who defied oppression and found freedom in the primeval forests of Surinam. The hypnotic, percussive beats characterizing MARRØN’s foundational Afro Deep style have evolved to form a singular conception of techno. His dynamic take on the genre is at home in the underground, most notably in his role as co-founder and resident of Amsterdam’s Eerste Communie. 
Enjoy :*

Welcoming NYC based @holden-federico to our 19th edition of Alphabet podcast. continuing with the raw, up-tempo rolling techno drill we all love! 

"With this mix, I aimed to make the techno mix I want to hear—both as someone on the floor and as someone listening in headphones. This collection of songs is focused primarily on theme and narrative. My primary goal was using layering and track selection to bring story and pacing to the forefront. There are lots of different textures, styles, and eras within this mix, but cumulatively it represents my definition of a modern approach to classic techno: raw, soulful, rhythmic, stripped-back, and futuristic."

Originally from Spain, and now based in Berlin, Beatrice is the name of a young artist who started her professional career relatively recently.
For several years, being very influenced by all musical genres since she was a child, she decided to delve deeper into the electronic genre, techno, in particular.
She started DJing in her hometown at the age of 19, after confirming with herself that it was really what she wanted to dedicate the rest of her life to. 
A little later, after releasing her first EP on vinyl with Not A Headliner on Global Offensive Corporation, she decided to move to Berlin, after some months she released a track on Rebekah´s label which gave her the motivation to get more into it professionally.
She began to fill herself with opportunities, like releasing another track on Room Trax label, and slowly she managed to achieve many of her dreams as an artist, being able to play at most of the most emblematic clubs in the world at his young age, such as Berghain, Tresor, and relatively recently becoming one of the first residents of the huge Basement club in New York.
