Bloody Mary is a French-born, Berlin-based vinyl DJ, producer, and label owner of Dame-Music, which she founded in 2010.
It all started for her when a love for new wave led to her first rave party as a teenager, opening up her ears and heart to the sounds of electronic music. Since then, Mary started collecting vinyl and acquired her first set of turntables. She quickly rose the ranks in the techno scene in the South of France and landed her first residency at Studio 88.
Relocating to Berlin in 2005 took her career to the international level and the next chapter of her journey began. Having already focused on her DJing abilities, she set up her studio in 2006. From that moment, Mary released multiple EPs on Sender Records and Contexterrior, and in 2009 she released her debut full-length album "Black Pearl". Filled with emotion, the highly acclaimed album revealed a wider picture of her personality to the public.
In 2010, Mary started her own imprint, Dame-Music. The label was born by her undying passion for vinyl, and the need to spread her vision of quality dance music to the world. Dame-Music shapes its identity by continuously releasing a distinct blend of techno and house music. The label's love for raw & analogue sounds is defined by working closely with friends and artists who share the same musical state of mind. To this day, label artists include: Boo Williams, Anaxander, Innerspace Halflife, Axel Boman, The Analogue Cops and many more.
At the end of 2012, Mary started a new analog live project called "The Jaydes" (Live act with Attan). Working countless hours in the studio, their first self-titled album was ready for release in February 2014. The nine-track album was an adventure through the history of house and techno using only vintage analog gear to make something modern with outdated technology. This way of production was an exciting outlet for her to expand her creativity to new horizons. The album was critically acclaimed by press outlets such as DJ Mag, Mixmag, Attack Magazine and many more. Following the release of the LP she toured the world as the live act "The Jaydes" throughout 2014.
At the end of 2014, Mary decided it was time to put more focus on her solo work and her love for the acid sound. She released her "Striders" EP in the same year, and since then has continued to release a series of EPs and remixes keeping that same acid vibe. Mary has a lot of fun jamming in her studio and she aims to bring this energy to the dancefloor through her releases.
In 2017, Mary released her track "Knockout" (incl. remix by Marcel Fengler), which was supported and played by many renowned artists. In the same year, she collaborated with Milton Bradley (aka Alien Rain) for the 7 year anniversary release of Dame-Music.
Continuing her passion for the acid sound, her EP called "The Synesthesia Experience" is released on Josh Wink's label Ovum Recordings in September 2017.
Bloody Mary continues to travel the world, rocking festivals and clubs as both a vinyl DJ and hardware-based live act across all continents. She balances her touring schedule with her studio time in Berlin, with more new music on the way. Her unique musical taste and elegant on-stage presence has seen her feature at festivals such as WMC Miami, Movement Detroit, Piknic Electronik Australia and Barcelona, ADE and Off Sonar. She has also graced the decks of world-renowned clubs like Fabric London, Tresor and Panorama Bar Berlin, Smart Bar Chicago, and many more.
