Mary Lake
Mary Lake, an artist for whom expression and eclecticism is vital. With an international upbringing in Algeria, France and The Netherlands, she seeks a voice through her music, translating inner dynamics in both club and exploratory settings, towards a signature of frenetic yet inviting sets. As a club DJ, Mary serves unorthodox techno, electro and left-field electronics, while always and foremost persuading the crowd to dance. In her experimental radio-show Worshipping Discordia, electronica, folk and various globally influenced cuts collide as monthly dreamscapes to tune into.
Starting her DJ career through London’s underground scene , she quickly became a familiar face in Amsterdam when returning in 2017, landing some of the most considered festivals and events. Mary has concurrently built up a strong international presence in cities such as Melbourne and Berlin, so be sure to catch her infectious energy anywhere near you soon.
Xiaolin
The HEX/HEXSCAPES founder, concert-violinist-turned-electronic-composer and 宀 club mainstay comes from a rare category of highly trained musicians looking to bridge the delicate gap between two sonic worlds: acoustic and electronic. Originally taking harmonic inspiration from her classical roots mainly of the impressionistic period, Xiaolin found early comfort in Canto-Japanese melodies from the 80’s YMO era and West coast hip-hop/R&B, later falling in love with 90’s Chicago/Detroit palettes as well as warmer breaks from the UK bass scene. Having experienced a breadth of genres from jamming over Arabic makams and gypsy jazz to playing agogos in a Batucada band, she produces an elusively ethereal sound that mixes hints of organic percussion into her signature dreamy electro ambience with Prophet-driven bass lines and Juno-60 pads, evoking feelings of early trance and acid house euphoria. Her thoughtful selections as a DJ sit within an energetic yet ever-comfortable tempo range, taking ravers on a journey through progressive body groovers sprinkled with raw breaks and nostalgic melodies, while her live electronic ambient sets reveal another more futuristic, textural and contemplative side of her natural musicality. Although still a relatively fresh face in the underground dance scene, the anime-loving, N64-gaming Xiaolin is quietly but steadily building a reputation for delivering music of integrity that doesn’t just make you dance - it always tells a story. Releases include a compilation 20/20 Vision (Exit Planet Earth) alongside Carl Finlow and Plant43, two EPS on Mihn Records, a feature track on Mr. Ho’s Klasse Wrecks label, with an upcoming compilation alongside Reflex Blue and NDS as well as three EPs on Berlin-based label Sound Metaphors’ “Bless You” imprint. Xiaolin currently hosts a bimonthly show on Baihui Radio China.
