Eerste Communie CO-FOUNDER & RESIDENT.

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 Marrons, 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. MARRØN’s capable command of groove, power, and texture is no doubt a convincing invitation to stay on the dancefloor for hours.

The label was born from the mind and the taste of Freddy K.
A life devoted to techno since the 90s.

Based in Washington, DC, TonalTheory is a dynamic, self-taught producer/DJ duo that blends hard-hitting, percussive techno with melodic elements drawn from their classical backgrounds. Their immersive sound pushes the boundaries of hard techno, balancing aggression with a softer, more nuanced approach that captivates audiences. Their innovative productions have been released on industry-leading labels such as Expel Your Demons, Divine Intervention, Say What? Records, SINDEX, and Ōtomo. Notable EPs like Keep Me Blushin’ and Destined for Great Things have garnered support from top-tier artists including Dax J, Charlotte de Witte, Richie Hawtin, and Perc, and have been featured in key publications like KEYI Magazine and The Washington Post.

In 2021, TonalTheory founded their label, Undertone, driven by a passion for supporting emerging artists. Since its inception, the label has provided 21 U.S.-based producers with their first release, establishing Undertone as a platform for boundary-pushing techno. Their signature high-energy label nights have become a staple in the DC underground scene, and through collaborations with leading venues and promoters, they have nurtured the local techno community while consistently elevating the talent around them.

TonalTheory’s impact extends far beyond Washington, DC, as they’ve headlined shows across North America, Europe, and Asia, delivering their relentless techno sound to fans worldwide. Their long-standing residencies at iconic venues like Soundcheck, Echostage, Flash DC, and The Owl Room, as well as performances at warehouse events hosted by promoters like 6AM, TechnoFamLA, and Twisted Lines, showcase their unstoppable energy and dedication to pushing the boundaries of techno on a global scale.

in year of the dog,
