  the whole biography

  Masha Mar is a Serbian-born, Los Angeles-based DJ and producer whose musical vision spans Chicago and New York house, cosmic disco, and left-field rarities. Equally at home on festival stages and in the sweat of an intimate club, she moves between worlds effortlessly. Each set feels like its own journey, never the same trip twice. Her radio presence reflects the same range: a long-running residency on NTS Radio with Beyond the Clouds explores the softer, more celestial end of her record collection, while her residency on dublab traces the full arc of dance music's past and present. Both are windows into the restless curiosity that drives everything she does. As a producer, Masha works with a small arsenal of classic machines — the Roland 808 and Juno-60 are constants — and has built a discography across Nervous Records, SOS, Night Prism, and beyond. Her debut EP Virgil's Dream moved fluidly between Italo, house, and dub; her latest, Cherry Cherry, marks a bolder step into floor-focused territory, her sound still evolving and sharpening. Community-building has been just as central to her practice as the music itself. In 2014, she co-founded Dig Deeper LA with Alison Swing — a foundational event series in the Los Angeles underground that brought artists like DJ Sprinkles, K-Hand, Daniele Baldelli, Lena Willikens, and Axel Boman to the city. More recently, she and Heidi Lawden launched Take It Outside, a grassroots femme and queer-friendly series spotlighting international & LA based queer, and female DJs.
