Bloody Mary (FR)
Bloody Mary is an internationally renowned Producer, Live Act, DJ, Label Owner of Dame-Music, and resident of Tresor Berlin.
A staple in the world-wide techno scene for more than a decade; the French artist’s name is easily recognizable to fans the world over, having produced a string of highly-acclaimed releases on well-known labels over the years, such as Ovum, Missile and U-TRAX to name a few.
She is closely affiliated with two of Berlin’s most infamous queer techno collectives - Gegen and Pornceptual - both labels which she has released music on, and events which she has appeared at regularly for years.
Her distinct production style is heavily influenced by the raw, hardware-based sounds of the 90s, citing acid legends like Josh Wink, DJ Pierre, Freddy Fresh, Tim Taylor, Hardfloor & Thomas P. Heckmann as some of her biggest influences during her formative years. Fast forward to today, and it’s these exact producers she can be found regularly featuring alongside on the same vinyl releases.
It’s therefore no surprise that she’s often called upon to share her knowledge and expertise around the world. Whether it’s being invited by the Goethe Institute to give production workshops in Mongolia, or being hand-picked by Roland to talk about their illustrious 303 at ADE in Amsterdam, her unique approach to music making and years of experience spent honing her craft have allowed her to constantly travel the globe for over a decade.
In 2019, she was chosen to make an official remix of Phuture’s classic “Acid Track”, which went on to be widely acclaimed. In the same year, she launched her solo live act; making her debut at her home base, Tresor Berlin.
Pandemic aside, 2020 showed no signs of slowing down: her 10 minute “Against The Clock” dropped on FACT Magazine’s YouTube channel, which continues to receive outstanding feedback to this day. She shared the cover of Future Music Magazine alongside Jeff Mills and Richie Hawtin, amongst others. The magazine also ran a 7 page studio feature with her, going in depth about her favorite gear and production techniques.
In the same year, her label Dame-Music celebrated its 10 year anniversary, releasing music from artists like Lady Starlight, Schacke, Tin Man, DeFeKT and more.
In August 2021, she launched her brand new live set on Hör Radio, full of fresh material she’d been working on during lockdown. This was followed by her debut performance at Berlin’s esteemed annual synthesizer convention, Superbooth.
In Summer 2022, she performed at Berlin’s re-incarnation of the Love Parade (under the new name Rave The Planet), and was invited to host her Dame-Music label showcase as part of Tresor’s 31 year anniversary festival.
Bloody Mary’s unique musical taste and elegant on-stage presence have seen her feature at festivals such as Movement Detroit, Piknic Electronik, CRSSD, Epizode Vietnam, Rainbow Serpent, ADE, Sonar and WMC Miami. She has also graced the decks of world-renowned clubs like Fabric London, Space Ibiza & Miami, Panorama Bar / Berghain Berlin, Khidi Tbilisi, Smart Bar Chicago, Fabrik Madrid, Shelter Amsterdam, Basement NY, alongside her residency at Berlin techno institution, Tresor.
Accomplishments aside, it’s Bloody Mary’s unique vision, unrivalled passion, and dedication to her art that has kept the fire burning for her over all these years, and will no doubt continue to do so for many years to come.
