Biografía
MEJMI's sound stems from the hypnotic, shadowy and groovy corners of techno, blending spectral atmospheres with old-skool flavours. A knowledgeable selector using vinyl and digital formats, she respects the genre's roots and pays homage to the eras that have shaped dance music culture as we know it today.
A trained multi-instrumentalist in piano, violin and cello, MEJMI later discovered techno via late-night broadcasts on Radió Na Gaeltacht. During the long days of lockdown, MEJMI explored the genre further and taught herself how to mix, drawing influence from the vibrant nightlife of Valencia, Spain, where she previously spent time on Erasmus. With her storied background in instrumentalism, mixing came naturally to MEJMI and allowed her to add another dimension to her musical prowess.
In the summer of 2020, MEJMI went viral on TikTok and Twitter when she fused traditional Irish music with techno, playing the fiddle accompanied by a 4/4 beat. The clip captured the attention of Ireland's long-running news and events programme Nationwide, who interviewed her on the show shortly after.
In 2022, MEJMI landed her first gig in Cork's beloved venue, An Spailpin Fánach and began to produce her own music. Today, MEJMI stitches several elements into her productions, from squelchy acid and spiky synth lines to wobbly bass and off-kilter kickdrums, culminating in compelling, highly danceable rhythms. Her back catalogue includes the menacing track 'Amethyst' via Harmless Records, the psy-acid mutation 'Diamond Speckled Flowers’ on Free Speed and her debut EP 'Road Maintenance' on Faoi Thalamh Records. A slew of self-releases, from the soft and airy 'Warsaw Angels' to the trippy 'Cyclic Wizard', convey the full range and technical tenacity of MEJMI's approach. Mirroring her sound as a DJ, MEJMI has an EP in the works that delves into a more minimal and moody palette.
DJ bookings for festivals, parties and clubs, including Electric Picnic, Fuinneamh, Dublin Modular, Blueprint Belfast, K-fest, The Slutty Virgin Festival, Plant Bass'd, The Cellar, Dali, and Kriptik, alongside Cailín, Jamie Behan, Doug Cooney, Melt X, Conceptual, Offtrack, Carlton Doom and Maedbh O'Connor have featured in her diary. International gigs, counting Warsaw and Lublin, have also cropped up in her calendar.
Additionally, MEJMI is the founder of the event series Club Economy. Rhythm, harmony, balance, contrast, and expression form the foundation of Club Economy, with gender inclusivity a key element across all lineups. The party is for individuals from all walks of life who enjoy a combination of visual arts and top-quality techno. While An Spailpin Fánach has hosted previous Club Economy nights, MEJMI aims to bring the event to unsuspecting spaces not usually aligned with dance music. Next up, Club Economy will make its debut in Dublin in December, rounding out 2023 on a strong note.
As co-founder of Síbín on London's Voices Radio, MEJMI connects and showcases artists from disparate musical backgrounds, providing a platform to express themselves, feel inspired and create a sense of community across the board.
Garnering support from FourFour, Techno People of Cork and Cork Arts Council, the latter of whom tipped her as 'one to watch', MEJMI's outstanding abilities continue to shine, forming an unparalleled path of her own.
