Q&A and Global Vibe Radio 170 Feat. Mary Yuzovskaya

/in , , , /by

The 170th guest of our weekly Global Vibe Radio mix series is NYC-based vinyl-only techno DJ, producer and record label owner Mary Yuzovskaya. 

By way of Berlin and before that Moscow, Maryhas been cultivating her unique orbit in the electronic dance music firmament for over 10 years.

Having graced the decks of all 
Moscow’s hotspots back in the
 mid-2000s, Mary moved to Berlin,
where she quickly became 
recognised for both her 
blisteringly-precise vinyl-only 
techno sets and her painstakingly professional approach to the craft
 of DJing. Based in New York City
 since 2013, Mary currently holds 
a residency at Unter, a notoriously
 secretive underground techno 
party showcasing the best in local 
and international talent. Also, in
 2017, Mary launched her very
 own record label called Monday
 Off, where she curates and 
presses work from artists that
 explore techno’s trippier, more hypnotic side.

Mary has been fortunate enough to share the decks with many talented and internationally recognised musicians such as Marcel Dettmann, DVS1, Erika, Developer, Somewhen, Claudio PRC, Henning Baer, Xhin, Tommy Four Seven, Perc, Deadbeat, Anthony Parasole, Edit Select, Dino Sabatini, Norman Nodge and many others. She has been busily traveling the world and performing her unique take on techno music’s deeper vibes at many noted clubs across the world, including Tresor, Arma 17, :// about blank, Distillery (Leipzig) and Output, to name only a few.

With an upcoming debut Los Angeles gig at COMPOUND Summer 2019 alongside Derrick May and Matrixxman, we took the time to have a 360-degree chat with Mary to find out what she has been up to.

/in /by

Think we got some well-deserved rest after COMPOUND 2017 closed its doors at 7am? Think again!

We rolled with Perc to the Rave Curious podcast, where he sat down for an interesting conversation about his secret to surviving in the tough world of techno—from loosing records in distributor liquidations (three times in 13 years) to playing packed clubs one weekend and half empty rooms the next.
