Mara’s love affair with drum and bass began in 2008. The DJ and singer was born and raised in Geneva, surrounded by the sounds of dnb, dubstep, dancehall, reggae and dub. Back then, she was a dreamer and raver, always at the front of the party line.
In 2018, Mara made a name for herself on the French dancehall scene with a few singles she released independently, and she gradually evolved into mixing drum and bass tracks inspired by artists such as Sub Focus, Chase and Status, Rusko, Dimension, Mandidextrous, Delta Heavy, Grafix, Dirtyphonics, Wilkinson and Rudimental to name but a few.
Mara built her reputation on stages from Geneva to Paris, and on MOUV’ (RadioFrance), where she hosted a weekly one-hour mix from 2018 to 2022. As well as gaining popularity with her music over the years, Mara runs her own label and has been organising her own nights since 2018: the ‘Foulamerde’ nights with a fine selection of drum and bass, jungle, dancehall and dubstep sounds. She recently presented her new concept ‘Baedroom’: a pyjama night with drum & bass where she proposes a new way of partying: at home in your bedroom.
She’s also a resident at Subset, Switzerland’s biggest dnb nights, where she’s played alongside names like Kanine, Hedex, Bou, Serum, Voltage, Pola and Bryson, Vibe Chemistry, A.M.C. and Dimension. Over the past year, Mara has performed at some of the world’s biggest music festivals.
