Hailing from Osaka and currently based in Tokyo, over recent years DJ MARIA. has grown into a key figure representing Tokyo’s and Japan’s new-generation techno movement on the international stage. She has performed at techno hotspots such as Berghain in Berlin and Bassiani in Georgia, as well as at more underground favourites including Acquario Masada in Milan, Elysia in Basel and the much missed De School in Amsterdam. Seamlessly shifting between groovy techno and deep trance moods, her versatile, sensory-driven approach also sees her bringing in downtempo, house and ambient sounds. As a producer, she released the ‘Acid Sunrise’ EP on Beyond the Galaxy and contributed tracks to Deep Fundraisers and Bassiani Records.
