Always on the lookout for new sounds and fresh music, the sets of this French-born, Berlin-based Dj provide a fine example of what is happening at the moment. With the explosion of the minimal scene, Mary adds to hit her very own touch. She continuously expresses her love for the German sound every time she takes the decks.

Bloody Mary grew up in the region of Aix en Provence. Her favorite musical genre was new wave until she went to her first rave party and discovered the world of electronic dance music. This revelation inspired her to give it a go herself, and she did her first gig in Marseille only one year after acquiring her first pair of turntables.

Bloody Mary soon got booked all over the South of France, establishing herself as a strong figure on the techno scene - Docs des Suds (Marseille), Splash Festival, Dragonbal Festival ...

2005: Bloody Mary held a monthly residency at Studio88 (Aix en Pce). Her subsequent move to Berlin took her career to an international level. She regularly played in various cities and clubs in Germany (Watergate Berlin, Harryklein Munich...) and Europe (The End - London, Rex Club - Paris, Cassero - Bologna...). This was only the beginning of her productive career.

2006: Having already focused on her Djing abilities, she set up her studio to make tracks that will go along the lines of her favorite label! This led to her debut release, “Apparence” on Sender Records.

2007: As a producer, she had her second release on Sender in addition to remix for Nomor Records. As a DJ, she expanded her territory, which now includes South America (Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia...) and North America (NYC).

2008: In the studio, Mary began collaborating with Sierra_Sam, and they released a pair of EPs, the first on Einmaleins, and another on ToyForBoys, who will also release her first DJ mix compilation Tanz mit mir this June. Surrounding the release, she makes her return to the US including a stop in Detroit.

Outside of her solo work, she is one-third of the newly formed group Gypsy Family, along with her friends Quenum (Cadenza) and Dachshund (Num), who will release their first EP on Contexterrior in June.

2009 : Bloody Mary released her debut full-length “Black Pearl”, also the first artist album to appear on the label Contexterrior in its seven-year history. The album revealed a wider picture of her personality to the public, filled with emotion, and it was her best experience so far as a producer! She and the label also released three vinyl EPs corresponding to the album, including remixes by Jay Haze, Sasche Funke, Shonky, Alex Celler and Sierra Sam.

Mary made her first tour in Asia (playing in China and Japan), and also her first appearance at the legendary Fabric, London. She also rocked the USA and Mexico a few more times starting at Christmastime.

2010: After building up a successful DJ and production career, what’s a girl to do next? For Bloody Mary, the next logical step is to launch her own record label. Dame-Music will be a hub for tracks from talent she has befriended over the years in the worldwide techno/house scene. Not pinned down by any particular sound, the label’s output will adhere to only one rule: music that Bloody Mary would include within her DJ sets. For those not lucky enough to have already heard her play, that means: powerful yet refined, invigorating, and ultimately optimistic.

Dame-Music celebrated its launch in May 2010 with a party at Watergate, Berlin, featuring Mary, Argenis Brito and Arado. Mary and Arado also represented Dame for a showcase during Sónar Festival, Barcelona, in June. This month also saw the label?s premiere release: Decadence, a compilation mixed by Bloody Mary, plus a 12” and digital sampler with exclusive tracks from herself along with roster artists Sierra Sam, Quenum and Argenis Brito. Dame?s next vibrant EPs are by Arado & Marco Faraone and Brito. Indulge yourself!
