Ambient Mixes

Unrush founder Mareena has been very busy since her last in-house contribution to the series. Her collaboration with JakoJako on Muzan Editions stunned listeners with its bright palette and nocturnal nuance, while their contribution to the Tresor Records 30 Years Compilation solidified this collaboration as a project to watch. Both of these releases displayed the refinement of her production skills, where her dedication to modular synthesis has transpired into a palpable passion for discovering new sonic pathways. It's safe to say Mareena is no longer just an adept DJ, but also a versatile producer as well. 

Unrush itself has grown too. With over 60 mixes and 4 compilations released to date, the series has expanded to include a broad family of artists and shows no signs of slowing down. To celebrate these achievements, we are pleased to present Mareena's fourth mix for the series, where she gracefully weaves the past into the future, giving us a glimpse of what is to come.

Thanks a lot https://soundcloud.com/mareenaofficial

Unrush Bandcamp

062 - Unrushed by Mareena

Occasionally when two creative forces cross paths, the result can be an enigmatic exchange of pure inspiration, a web of connections that continually grows with imaginative impulses firing off like synapses in every direction. Such was the case when Unrush-founder Mareena and her dear friend Resom began collaborating at the end of 2020. The resulting project, entitled M2N2, was born as a result of their shared love for all things ambient, with both possessing an extensive catalog of records that spans all of the genre's many facets. Their first appearances solidified the collaboration as a worthy endeavor, with well-received contributions to the CCC Online Festival and gigs in Mexico at the Cervantino Festival in Guanajuato and the Hertzflimmern Event in Mexico City. 

For this month's Unrush mix we are presented with a recording clocking in at just over 2 hours where the two friends playfully react and interact with one another, digging deep into the corners of their respective collections. It's just in time for the warmer days where things can get hectic, a gentle reminder to slow down, be present, and foster the connections you have that enable you to grow...

Unrush - Mareena & Nadia Struiwigh - 22 May 2024

“I’ve crafted this mix with dubby rhythms and hazy, melodic textures to offer you a space for relaxation and reflection. With all the deception and darkness in the world today, I wanted to share a bit of calm - a way to escape the noise and find some clarity. This mix is my own response to everything that feels overwhelming, an invitation to just breathe, reconnect, and ground yourself. The more we feel connected and strong, the better we can help others. I hope these sounds carry you to a place of inner peace, where calm rises up through the haze…”

Mareena is a DJ, producer and founder of the amazing podcast, label and event series UNRUSH. Her ability to navigate seamlessly between peak time techno and gentle ambient showcases her outstanding ear for diverse selections and her timeless musical approach.

Monument Waves 003 : Mareena

For our next contribution we turn inwards for a mix from UNRUSH founder and curator Mareena. A name who is akin with eclectic and distinguished taste, Mareena has been carefully working behind the scenes in Berlin to consistently bring forth the best of both upcoming and established artists. For the last of our UNRUSH summer edition series she has amassed an immersive environment of sound, shining light on the natural world while still maintaining her signature sense of hypnotic mysticism. For insights into the intention behind UNRUSH and Mareena’s views as an artist, check out the link to her interview below.

007 - Unrushed by Mareena

As the sun rests it´s eyes turning in for the coming season, we also turn inwards to Unrush founder and Tresor resident Mareena to provide the closing edition of our summer series. A reflection of the particularly dreary summer we had here in Berlin, this mix is inspired by a recent Unrush session at Herrensauna in Tresor Berlin. Tunneling deep into the unconscious mind, it functions as both a foreground and a background, teasing the attention of the listener with a deliberate pacing only Mareena could execute. Embrace the change, breathe, and enjoy.

Un021

021 - Unrushed by Mareena

During these unsettling times, it has become clearer than ever the critical role music plays in lifting our spirits. With stress becoming a ubiquitous factor in our everyday lives, the need to tune into something more serene grows. This is something Unrush founder Mareena is aware of, which is why she has personally prepared an hour of lush, tender atmospherics to ease us out of this worried world and into the present moment of endless tranquillity. Mareena's passion for music is contagious, and her mixes exemplify this as much as her curatorial prowess. She blends elements almost as if she was the forest floor, supporting the sprouting buds with essential nutrients while letting the old-growth be seen in all its glory. So turn off the news, put your phone on silent, and take solace in this very special and personal edition of Unrush.
