Calling Marian

Calling Marian is a unique producer. Trained in musicology, she draws inspiration from multiple artistic horizons to create strong, sincere and emotional music, where techno, acid and trance meet. Her aim is to create a strong synergy between techno and club rhythms, nostalgic harmonies and catchy melodies.
Characterized by her autonomy, she composes, records, produces and mixes all her tracks, distributing them on the CVNT Records label she set up in 2017. Live, she is accompanied by machines and synthesizers.

The strength of this producer is her stage presence, whether as a DJ set on alternative stages such as Wet For Me, La Trou aux Biches, Jeudi OK, Nova Mix Club, Disorder or Kindergarten, or live on stage at major festivals such as Marsatac, Rock en Seine, Les Vieilles Charrues, Panoramas, Scopitone, Hop Pop Hop, les Nuits Sonores, Sakifo, Le Fusion Festival... In the course of her career, which has spanned just a few years, she has also opened for renowned artists such as Weval, Laurent Garnier, Jeanne Added, Arnaud Rebotini, Chloé and Emika.

After numerous remixes and four consecutive EPs ("The Parade" in 2017, "Rainmaking" in 2019, "Pisces" in 2018 and "Calling For The Past" in 2020), she is preparing for 2023 her debut album "Hyper Opus", a manifesto work that questions our relationship with feminism and sisterhood, and their power in the face of the ecological and human dramas playing out in our time. The tracks are conceived as the different tableaux of a global work, and as the soundscapes of an adventure whose interpretation, by its instrumental nature, is left up to the listener.
