Born in Greece and of especially mixed descent, DJ and producer Marina George embodies an array of nationalities and influences, steadily gravitating towards hard, hypnotic and sensual techno. Despite her considerably young DJ career, within 4 years Marina has already performed at a number of venues internationally, including Mixology and Shoreditch Platform in London, OD Ocean Drive in Ibiza, and Hammahalle in Berlin’s iconic club Sisyphos. This year, she was also selected to attend and perform at the European Female DJ Summit in Copenhagen, which was supported by the European Union. Born into a family background of ballet and opera, Marina’s artistic journey has been influenced by a wide range of music, to say the least. A classically trained pianist and songwriter during her younger years, she later developed a deep love for grunge, rock and punk; the exact rebellious flavours of which still infiltrate her approach to electronic music. Marina’s first ever release was dropped on prestigious techno label Suara, getting charted on Beatport’s Peak Hour Techno Tracks and receiving support from the likes of Ramiro Lopez, Charlotte de Witte, Marco Faraone, D-Unity and Sasha. Her productions, summed up as “heavy beats frosted with warm vocals” feature her own voice, spoken word and writing, the content of which has received attention from renowned music publications such as Data Transmission. With an undying determination to speak her mind through sound waves, Marina’s unique gripping selection has landed her features on internationally celebrated radio shows including Sound of Berlin, FluxFM, Ibiza Sonica, Pure Ibiza Radio, Frisky Radio and Powertools Mixshow in LA.
