MAREENA
Mareena’s deep connection with electronic music began in her early teenage years in East Germany, where she experienced the rise of techno. In 2004 she moved to Berlin and started DJing. Since 2012 Mareena has a long-standing residency with the techno institution Tresor. Her ability to include hard and elegant elements into her vinyl-oriented sets has led her to play at renowned clubs across the globe: Berghain, De School, Faust Seoul and The Bunker New York. Mareena brings that club spirit to life at the festivals she played, ranging from the cutting edge Up To Date Festival to raver happenings like the Third Room and Mostra Barcelona. As opposites are necessary to create balance and harmony, another facet of Mareena’s DJing is the subtle and evocative touches of her ambient sets. She is the founder of the event series, podcast and label UNRUSH. So far, Mareena has released on labels like Muzan Editions, Tresor, and her imprint, Unrush. Her collaborative album with JakoJako, “Atlas Der Gedanken”, received critical acclaim. Mareena’s is a key presence in today’s electronic music culture and carries its spirit forward.
