Playlist of the Week: Marie Davidson
Marie Davidson
My name is Marie Davidson, I’m from Montreal and I have been making electronic music for a while now. I’m mostly known for my drum programming and the use of my own voice, mostly spoken, sometimes sung or shouted. I’m also into using synthesizers, rather sequenced than hand played. I like my tracks punchy, sweaty and fun. I try to surprise people with what I have to say, keep them reflecting and entertained at the same time. I choose the words for their meaning as much as their rhythm.
When it comes to DJing, I look for tracks that have a strong rhythm section, high energy level and either a vocal hook or good vocal sampling. Here’s some examples of what I like to play or produce.
Marie Davidson's fifth studio album City Of Clowns is out now via DEEWEE. Buy it on Beatport.
"Fun Times" is my take on Italo-influenced club music, with a touch of pop in the chorus. I wanted to make something energetic while speaking about some of my personal life choices. The track doesn’t intend to be serious, I’m joking with the lyrics from start to finish. It also the only song of City Of Clowns composed in French, my mother tongue.
Politics & sex for you to enjoy.
Those people sound very good and sweaty. I especially love the vocals on this one.
Powerful and exciting duo from Los Angeles offering silly club track tracks.
What a banger. Very useful.
Hard not to play this track once you have it on your key. Lights up the party anywhere at any time.
I love all of his productions, especially the weirdest examples, like this tracks from his album Controlling Body.
This is a good for heating up the dance floor at the beginning of a set.
Simply a masterpiece.
For sure the track I’ve played the most over the last two years, works every time. It mixes very well with a track of mine called "Work It" (especially the Soulwax remix). Now you know one of my DJ blends. Don’t mind the BPM!
Great production and sensual vocals. I like the simplicity and the efficiency, all hitting you at the same time with a touch of nostalgia.
