Risen to prominence from the Lisbon's underground scene as a resident of mina's infamous raves, marum has crafted a unique and hybrid artist practice: half relentless rave DJ, half community utopian-researcher. Instigator of the queer rave mina (Lisbon), co-founder of the label and artist agency suspension (Lisbon/Berlin), a knit-tight collaborator of the hybrid dance & sex party Lecken (Berlin) and community radio Quântica (Lisbon), marum holds a refined and thoughtful sonic and political signature that moves entire communities and dance floors. Their sets are unashamed worship sessions of hypnotic, acidic techno, cavernous industrial beats with elements of EBM, trippy trance waves with aerial drones that take influence from film scores, minimalist composers and musique concrète. Oscillating between meditative soundscapes and fast-paced high-energy ravey tracks, the dance floor is taken to a contagious physical and mental catharsis, manipulating the realms between anxiety, peace, and ecstasy. In a constant exchange with new scenes, marum has played in parties, clubs and festivals across Europe, recent highlights include sharing bills with SPFDJ and VTSS at Berghain's Säule (Berlin), headlining at the castle of Forte Festival along with Alva Noto and Surgeon, an extended closing at Room 4 Resistance, playing Red Light Radio and De School (Amsterdam), regular visits to Lux (Lisbon). 2019 will bring marum's first Asian tour, a b2b with Violet at Impulso Festival, an artist residency at Q21 in Vienna curated by Bogomir Doringer and the participation at WHOLE Festival (Germany). Most recently marum played at the mina curated Lisbon Boiler Room, part of Hard Dance: a series of shows revolving around the most vital contemporary crews pushing boundaries in the rave scene. Parallel to DJing, marum is also a visual and performance artist, curator, and writer, working with the experimental platform XenoEntities Network and Rabbit Hole, focusing on gender, queer and feminist theory, technology and digital culture, electronic music and club politics.
