The first shock when listening to a new song is an instinct that only appears in the great timeless creations. Those of us who have spent many years listening to records, buying, selling, DJing, and promoting clubs and parties, have that instinct that appears where you least expect it. The first time I heard this song I had a direct impact. That feeling you can have only with specific songs. Alpha Draconis takes me straight to heaven. It reminds me of the purest music of James Stinson or Jeff Mills. For me this creation by Mariska, who was never in Detroit or knows the history of the city, represents the European Neo-Detroit sound very well. With that influence for the listener but she comes out of her totally altruistic soul with her own unique personality, a totally original composition without thinking of anything other than her own conviction when playing music.

...like veryyy....much......so dancingflowing fantasie....... :)

such beautiful, pure raw talent. Been enjoying from back in the MySpace days

love Mariska. Alpha Draconis it´s a James Stinson Tribute from Drexciya. incredible, beautiful, emotional, historical.

Alpha draconis

Mariska’s approach to music production is intuitive and unconventional. Instead of following a fixed genre or format, her music serves to express her inner world in a dreamy and playful way. Heavily influenced by elektro, Detroit Techno and IDM of the nineties (think Drexciya, Plaid, Orbital, …), this results in a quite emotive and melodic electronic sound. The atmospheres she creates have a sometimes slightly ominous undertone, yet are filled with optimism and a hint of nostalgia. Starting producing at the age of 18, she was quickly discovered by DJ Stingray through Myspace in 2009. This lead to her first release of her track Insolitology on Planet E, as a part of the Urban Tribe collective. She has also released tracks on Bleep 43, Semantica, and more recently HC Records, BAOX and Electro Records.
