Marli - Pitch Music & Arts 2022

This strictly limited vinyl release is the 5th release to come out of Naarm based label ILIO Records - a label which has housed artists Midnight Tenderness, Mic Mills, DJ Heure and more.

Titled ‘Mood Independent’, this 4 track EP comes from rising Naarm artist Marli. A stunning solo project which exudes 4 different motifs, 4 different genres, and 4 different moods entirely. An artist who has showcased powerhouse sets at Let Them Eat Cake’s main stage, Pitch Music & Arts iconic Pitch Black Stage, and Novel’s signature smalltown event, this release comes highly anticipated.
‘Mood Independent’ is dance music made to make you feel something. - Marli

Written during Melbourne’s extensive lockdown in 2021, the EP explores genres house, breakbeat, nu-jazz, experimental, incorporates spoken word poetry, and Marli’s own vocals. While it dips its toes into being defined as dance music, as always, Marli has executed her signature style beautifully, one that offers more than your average club track. It evokes complex emotions, featuring rich tones and instrumentation, and a sense of nostalgia unlike any other artist.

“Mood Independent” feels like an apt title for this project. I’m proud to have curated, written, produced, and mixed the entire project myself. I didn’t show these works to anyone while writing them - or for a long time after they were finished. Mainly because I wanted to trust my own creative instincts so completely, and not be influenced by others opinions. This was really scary, and at times made me insecure, but I’m really proud of the final project, and I think it feels like the truest expression of me, and my style” - Marli

Having released works on Yellow Island (BRA), Love Above Records (AUS), Backpocket Slammers (AUS), Revolver Upstairs The Late Show Record Label (AUS) and forthcoming releases on Homage (NY) and Velodrome (AUS), this highly anticipated debut EP and record is a stunning introduction into the breadth and maturity of work that Marli exudes when left to her own devices to create freely.

Triple J Friday Mix - Marli

'I Stayed Up Too Late Again' is part of a VA releasing on Naarm/Melbourne based label, Club Elevate. 

The VA features the likes of Cybernet, Fruit Ninja, Hedchef, Lucas Boston, Marli, Prizefight, Willem and Yollks & Hedchef. As a cohort, the project sounds sonically cohesive, whilst each track remains creatively unique in its own right - a true representation of the diverse and dynamic nature of contemporary electronic music. 

Marli's use of a percussive framework, futuristic sounds, a drawn out vocal sample and deeper, darker rhythmic tones provide the foundations of the track, whilst still remaining true to her sound, exploring complex emotion throughout. 

All proceeds for this VA will go towards T2KO - a not-for-profit charity based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia which aims to raise awareness and help those battling a rare bone cancer called Osteosarcoma.

Marli – Beyond The Valley 2024

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Well, it’s been a little while (350,400 minutes to be exact) since we last caught up. Life has its way of throwing curveballs, but here we are. And today, we’re diving into the musical world of Marli—Melbourne-born, Paris-based, feet-stomper, head-bopper, and all-around magical force who’s perfected the art of the irresistible thump.

Over the past few years, Marli’s star has undoubtedly risen, and it’s been an absolute joy to witness. Her journey is nothing short of inspiring, earned through sheer hard work and dedication.

Now, let’s talk about this mix. Marli has absolutely crushed it. She’s given us a glimpse into the creative depths of her mind, stepping away from the typical dancefloor energy and exploring the broader spectrum of sound. The mix is a quixotic, romantic fever dream, woven together with off-kilter rhythms, ethereal alt-R’n’B, mind-bending ambience, and world-spanning soundscapes. Every twist and turn is soft and inviting, wrapping you in a warm embrace you won’t want to escape from.

Enjoy.

Much love,

Marli is part of a new breed of artist taking inspiration from the whole spectrum of electronic music. With a sound rooted in Detroit Techno, Chicago House and UKG, a Marli set harbours a warm nostalgic vibe, heavily syncopated rhythms, and rich samples oscillating effortlessly between deep house, soul, breakbeat, and UKG. 

She's featured on lineups on Australia's biggest events, such as Let Them Eat Cake, Pitch Music & Arts, Beyond The Valley, Strawberry Fields, Lost Sundays, smalltown, Xe54, Forum Melbourne, as well as being a crowd favourite and rotating resident at Revolver Upstairs The Late Show. 

Rubbing shoulders with the world's biggest artists, she's warmed the stage for Omar S, Gerd Janson, DJ Koze, Caribou, Dam Swindle, Folamour, Sally C, Loods, DJ Boring and more. 2022 also saw her added to PBS and Triple R's rotation of artists.

With her debut vinyl EP 'Mood Independent' released via ILIO Records selling out in only 3 days, she has released a string of originals and remixes on Yellow Island (Brazil) Homage (NY), Motorik (AUS), Backpocket Slammers (AUS), Love Above Records (AUS), The Late Show Records (AUS) and Velodrome (AUS), all of which are imbued with a class and maturity beyond her young age. With her productions and sets already gaining traction as some of the best in the Australian music industry, Marli is about to shift gears in a very imposing way...
