Music is the answer to all your problems ~"~

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.

Kwin’s Brief Bio
Kwin Nijs was born in 1984 in Leuven and grew up in Kortrijk (Belgium).  As a child he was always fascinated by music.  At the age of 12 he went to music school and found his passion studying Strings.  Soon he was dusting down his mother’s old guitar and covering various songs.   He went on to write his own music.  At the age of 16 Kwin started the live band ‘Need.A.Nurse’ together with three friends, where he did vocals and played rhythm-guitar.  After the band went their own ways he established ‘Quinn’ in 2011, an acoustic solo project with the ultimate intention to establish a full band.  Kwin started writing again and soon made his way back to the stage with try-outs.  In 2013 he entered ‘The Best  Singer-Songwriter of Flanders’ where he got to the last 21 finalists.  Kwin enjoyed the challenge, returning to the studio to further develop his music and recordings.  ‘Quinn’ is a mix of acoustic pop-rock with a dreamy edge.  Enjoy!
