Influenced early on by the emotional depth of trip hop, the Athens native brings a cinematic and textured aesthetic to her hypnotic, driving sets, forging a deep and sensual connection with her audience. She has performed in major cities including London, Athens, Amsterdam, and Ibiza, sharing the stage with techno heavyweights such as Ben Klock, Ø [Phase] and Dave Clarke. Now a resident at the iconic Berlin institution Tresor, she also curated the club’s New Faces series for two years. Beyond her work as a curator and DJ, Marina has released music on respected labels such as Planet Rhythm, Kneaded Pains and Suara. Drawing on her passion for psychology, she often incorporates her own voice and samples into her productions, exploring themes of vulnerability and human emotion.Their RA profile lists Suara, Planet Rhythm Records, Kneaded Pains, defaultbox and 3 more.Recently at Crack Bellmer, Tresor / Globus, Renate · often with Mython, DJ Frequency, Vio PRG, none of them here that night

the whole biography
His debut EP is regarded by many as seminal, launching his career along with several early Downwards releases, causing a ripple of excitement through the techno cognoscenti of the time. Surgeon has been prolific since, with three albums on Tresor and numerous Counterbalance and Dynamic Tension EPs as well as his 'Breaking The Frame’, ‘From Farthest Known Objects’ and ‘Luminosity Device’ LPs “Over the course of his career, the Birmingham resident has perfected a unique and uncommonly effective production style. His is a tough techno sound with an industrial murk about it but also plenty of funk, swing and a sophisticated sense of dub-space learned in part from his Chain Reaction contemporaries in Berlin. Proving that hard can also be smart, sensuous and danceable, the influence of Surgeon on the 2010-ruling Ostgut/Berghain sound – DJs/producers like Marcel Dettmann, Shed et al – is substantial”. (Fact Magazine) Further evidence of these multi-functional production skills can be seen on Surgeon's impressive remix CV, working with the biggest names in techno (Dave Clarke, Luke Slater/PAS, Green Velvet, Hardfloor, the Black Dog etc), Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Glasgow post-rock outfit Mogwai, old masters Faust and Coil, as well as artists such Moderat, Shed, Traversable Wormhole and Scuba. Over the years Surgeon has shown his versatility as a musician with releases under his own name on FatCat, NNA Tapes and Editions Mego which break all the usual boundaries of electronic dance music. Recently dubbed by Fact magazine as “arguably the finest techno DJ in the world”, Surgeon is also naturally one of the most in-demand, with DJ mixes for Warp and Fabric and a schedule spread across Europe and Japan. He has played every key club/event/festival going; helped pioneer Birmingham’s House of God; and, held a 3 year residency at Tresor (Berlin) during its all powerful 1990s peak. He is also one half of the much loved BMB (British Murder Boys) with Regis as well as performing improvised live sets solo and with Lady Starlight, with Speedy J as ‘Multiples’ and alongside Daniel Bean as ‘The Transcendence Orchestra’ Contemporary Surgeon sets are notable for experimentation with new DJ technologies embracing cutting edge hardware and software solutions, increasingly blurring the line between a DJ set and a live performance. Surgeon is a selector of some skill and one of the most inventive, intuitive DJs out there. Using techno as a vehicle to carry his artistic message, he also mixes up everything from contemporary bass music/dubstep to Rephlex-esque electronica to create a coherent, intense and righteously banging whole. More recently live improvisation has become a more important part of all of his performances.Their RA profile lists Tresor, Dynamic Tension, Token, Ilian Tape and 6 more.Last at Tresor / Globus in Mar · often with Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy, Olin, Phalcon, none of them here that night

“I’m a music producer, DJ and the founder of my label, Black Catalogue.”
their own biography
the whole biography
I’m a music producer, DJ and the founder of my label, Black Catalogue. My passion for all facets of dance music have made me one of the most versatile DJ’s you will hear. My journey thus far in the pursuit of an education in club culture has taken me from my hometown Los Angeles to San Francisco and then to Detroit and Berlin, the latter of which I now call home. In my DJ sets, you can hear me restlessly ranging between the worlds of Dark Disco, eclectic House, Dub and Deep Techno in a seamless fashion. In my mind, these blending visions force a conversation and energy exchange between myself and the dance floor. What often emerges is something new and unexpected. I have recorded music and created remixes for labels such as Hypercolour, Rekids, Planet-E, Classic, KMS, Cadenza, Blood of Thrones, 2MR and of course my own Black Catalogue imprint, among others. To date, Black Catalogue has 30 releases and counting. Outside of the club, my primary focus is on music production and my monthly residency at Refuge Worldwide. Sound, vision, energy and passion. Feel the vibe. Vibe the feel.Their RA profile lists Get Physical Music, Cadenza Records, Rekids, Planet E and 6 more.Recently at Berghain, Kater, Tresor / Globus · often with HOPPER, ACID BOGEN, Toxido Mask, none of them here that night
