Born and raised in a town called Baia Mare, in the mystical land of Transylvania, part of today's Romania, he first became dazzled by electronic music in the early 90s.  After a few years of his own musical exploration, he began DJing for a local radio show, which was dedicated to showcasing the best electronic music he could get his hands on.  That's where he played with two decks and a mixer for the first time.  Soon thereafter he was granted several placements in the clubs and festivals in his birth country, and he also began producing music, under the moniker Morris Newtone.

It wouldn't be a stretch to credit Marivs - then Morris Newtone - and his DJ buddies A.L.C.A., Delph Meer and Keed, with instituting the techno scene in his hometown in Romania.  At that time Marivs held a residency at one of the dance clubs in Baia Mare, wherein he was given enough free rein on the music he selected that he was able to truly demonstrate to his town what he believed dance music should sound like.  And under the club's requisite of maintaining an energetic dance floor at all times, Marivs quickly became adept at selecting and mixing tracks under pressure in order to produce that perpetual groove that he's known so well for today.

In 2013 he relocated to Toronto, Canada, where he continued to pursue his lifetime passion - the art of techno in its purest form - as 'Marivs,' which is the original Latin form of his birth name.

Behind the decks, Marivs's presence is commanding yet inviting, in the same way that his selections are dark and driving, yet delicate.  A perfectionist and a purist, Marivs has an innate ability to manipulate his music like few others can, whether the medium is analogue or digital.  He tells a story with each set that is so captivating that guests on his dancefloor have actually been cited as saying, "I didn't even know I liked techno until now."

Today Marivs is still viewed as a techno authority, not just with his DJ performances and productions, but also with his side promotion project Kaleidoscope, which is yet another avenue for him to show people what techno looks like through his eyes.

In his words: "Music shouldn't wake you up.  It should make you dream."

Primordial Intergalactic Commuter

Discovering the sounds of Jungle in the mid 90's, Toronto native Gremlinz became obsessed with Drum & Bass and the culture behind it, fully immersing himself into collecting, DJing and learning to produce the music that had taken over his life.

A few years of honing his craft later and Gremlinz secured his debut release in 2004 as part of the MDZ04 LP on Metalheadz. A formidable introduction and a statement of intent for this uncompromising maverick artist, made all the more surreal by the fact that Headz was his favorite label and the most influential to the development of his taste and sounds from day one.

Following his first outing, Gremlinz has gone on to drop a constant stream of tracks on a who's who of top labels, and with each release, the accolades have poured in. Tracks on Renegade Hardware, 31 Records, Cylon, Architecture, Rupture, AMAR and Paradox Music highlight his multi-faceted style, allowing him to drop both break beat-heavy B-Boy affairs and more nuanced dubby half step tunes seemingly at will.

His singular approach has been well-received on both sides of the pond, resulting in a global demand for his upfront DJ sets as well as landing him a spot on Loxy & Ink's HORSEMEN collective, aligning him with a superb stable of producers and a never ending supply of fresh music.

2015 saw Gremlinz set up the much heralded UVB-76 imprint with fellow contemporaries Ruffhouse, which has since grown to include 3 equally well received offshoot labels, Droogs (also co-run by Overlook), 4 6 2 5, and The Stone Tapes (Curated by Overlook & Vega Ruffhouse). Each having a devoted, worldwide fan base eager for the next slice of genre pushing innovation. 

In 2018 Gremlinz career came full circle with a renewed focus in the studio alongside longtime friend and now close collaborator Jesta resulting in a return to Metalheadz in the form of a Gremlinz & Jesta EP on METHXX and a scene stealing joint effort with Quartz.

Now fully reintegrated into the Headz stable, and with the full support and nurturing of Goldie himself, Gremlinz & Jesta are locked in the studio meticulously crafting what will be their debut artist album for the storied imprint dropping in the imminent future...
