Marie Davidson

French-Canadian Marie Davidson never sits still for long. A Montreal native who has also lived in Berlin, she is one of the scene's most revered live acts and has transitioned into DJing with spectacular results. She makes everything from minimal wave to techno to electroclash, whether working solo, as part of the Essaie pas duo or alongside L'Œil Nu on Ninja Tune. Her own vocals feature heavily in her work, and next to direct club material she has excelled in the long-player format with several standouts over the last decade. Her DJ sets are as punchy as they come: squealing synths and hyper-speed electro-tech, dark punk bangers and synth-heavy kraut cuts next to pummelling deep techno, lithe disco, wave and lashings of trance euphoria.
