MARGOT — The Villain: First Listen + Live Performance
Ekler presents an exclusive first listen of MARGOT’s forthcoming album The Villain, followed by an intimate live performance.
MARGOT has spent her life moving between musical worlds.
Born in North Florida, she began studying violin at four and spent her first fifteen years immersed almost exclusively in classical music. At 19, she moved to New York, where Radiohead, Björk and Sigur Rós expanded her sense of what the instrument could become. She went on to work with artists including Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and St. Vincent, while developing her own voice as a composer and producer.
In 2020, a chance meeting with Colombian pianist and composer Juan Villacrez led to their first collaboration, The Apartment on Third Street, an Amazon Music Original built around reinterpretations of classical works. After the pandemic, the two retreated to rural Vermont, turning an old barn into a studio where The Villain began to take shape. Against a backdrop of profound personal change and loss, the new body of work gradually revealed itself.
Recorded live in Bogotá and Medellín, The Villain unfolds across ten movements, transforming inner upheaval into something cinematic. Made with minimal takes, the album moves through desire, fear, loss and transformation, held together by MARGOT’s singular violin playing: intimate, visceral and constantly evolving.
Released worldwide by Ekler on November 6, 2026. New York gets to hear it first.

their own biography
the whole biography
After joining forces their work could begin and the two space rangers founded their space child ‚Margot Records’, where they also started to release their own music. Later in time, no other than the mighty space soldier James Holden got a hold of the light-speed-travelers and could convince them to release the famous ‚France 2 EP‘ on his label ‚Border Community‘. The rest is history. Starting with the groundbreaking remix of Daphni’s ‚Ahora‘. More releases were following on the mighty ‚Kill The Dj Records‘ label and their last strike of genius happened along with mastermind Ivan Smagghe on his new label imprint ‚Les Disques De La Mort‘. Up next are releases on Prins Thomas label ‚Internasjonal‘ and a remix for Ed Banger’s Mr. Flash for his first single off the upcoming album. 2015 is the year of 'Er Suonone', a production born several years earlier, first noticed by Sven Vath and later by Dj Ralf who decides to publish it on his own label Laterra Recordings. In the next two years has been released 'Moderno' on John Talabot's Hivern Discs and finally the acclaimed 'Amore A Bordo Pista' on Life And Death in 2017.Their RA profile lists Border Community, Kill The DJ, Hell Yeah Recordings, Internasjonal and 6 more.
