DJ Maria.

DJ MARIA., a DJ/producer from Osaka currently based in Tokyo, has been strengthening her presence as a figure who further elevates the critical point of the city's techno scene, which has matured alongside diverse cultures. After several years of activity on the international DJ circuit, she is beginning to be recognized as a symbolic artist of the new generation techno scene in Tokyo and, by extension, Japan. Her DJ style, which intuitively weaves a story, traversing groove-filled techno sounds that race through every corner of the body and trance sounds deeply connected to thought, captivates many, and her sets are often recounted as special memories of the night. If the mood is right, she may select from a wide range of genres, including downtempo, house, and ambient, and her mixes are always delivered as personal works conscious of the dialogue with the audience. DJ MARIA.'s sound, which has acquired high originality and flexibility, is currently being greeted with praise from promoters of major festivals and prestigious clubs around the world. She has performed at techno hotspots such as Berlin's Berghain and Georgia's Bassiani, as well as discerning clubs such as Milan's Acquario Masada, Basel's Elysia, and Amsterdam's De School, which has unfortunately closed. In addition, she has been lined up for outdoor festivals such as Belgium's La Nature, Norway's Monument, Portugal's BOOM, Germany's Nation of Gondwana, and the Netherlands' Draaimolen, where she has played supreme dance music in her most favored outdoor setting. As a producer, she has released the EP "Acid Sunrise" from the label Beyond the Galaxy. She has also provided tracks for compilations by Deep Fundraisers and Bassiani Records, which support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. She is also a key member of the organizing team for two festivals that are attracting particular attention in Japan's new generation outdoor festival scene: Moment, held in the beautiful secluded area of Tenkawa Village in Nara Prefecture, and Transcendance, which focuses on unique psychedelics. For DJ MARIA., music is an endless quest, a journey of connecting people, and each set is an adventure. Through her expression, she guides the audience to the endless depths created by music and enlightens them about the transformative power of music.
