Darkness, power, drive, thrust and the taste of energy…

Chains and harnesses make up the hard armoured exterior that MARSH LONG equips shortly before making her way onto stage. It is her way of tapping into confidence and defiance that she otherwise feels distant from.

MARSH LONG is a Melbourne based DJ that has found her love in music since a very young age. Growing up learning music from a young age has set MARSH LONG on a musical journey that has found her in a place that is anything but the familiar setting of classical piano and violin.

In her DJ performances, she incorporates concepts into the majority of her sets, this being one of the defining reasons she sticks out from most of the artists you hear at the club. There is a constant thrive of driving beats that keeps your feet moving and your heart-beat flowing, her sets always aim to take you through a musical journey creating a unique arc that leaves you feeling a different way to what you came with.

Her life has been a kaleidoscope of colourful characters and costumes. She has played at many of Melbourne’s famous venues like The Gasometer Hotel, Chasers Nightclub, Revolver Upstairs, Glamorama Nightclub, Sub Club Melbourne, MyAeon, New Guernica, Brown Alley, The Third Day, Circus Nightclub, The Emerson, 24 Moons and Inflation Nightclub, blasting those venues with sounds more lovingly characteristic of Europe’s club scene. She remarks that this sound is very characteristic of the music she has grown up with, particularly the electronic sound.

Not only is MARSH LONG versatile in her electronic music style, being able to uplift the energy of various local events such as Thick as Thieves, Babylon, Eat The Beat and Melbourne Techno Collective, but she has also shown support to a diverse range of artists like Nusha. Tred, Victor Ruiz, Luigi Madonna and Indira Paganotto.

In June 2022, MARSH LONG will be joining the Area 3000 family and running her own monthly radio show with the aim to invite unique talented members from the underground scene to share the work they do, this includes events they organise, brands they have launched, any upcoming shows or music to be released.

She speaks fondly about the Europe scene, a dreamscape that she one day aims to find herself making music in. The twinkle of wonder in her eye when she mentions the haven of heavy doof that await in Berlin is unmistakeable. She makes it apparent that these plans are far from an if, but more a question of when she will take her sound international.

MARSH LONG has emphasised the point that she wants her story to be one that is uplifting in the long run. Just like her music, she wants her story to leave people feeling inspired, hopeful or left with that zest for life that translates through her music.
