Margaux_plays_

Biography

"I like to stir my house as if it were a Romanian Tocăniță, but I serve my techno more like a German tartare: raw and cold. My mise-en-place is minimalistic, and all servings come with an extra portion of groove."

Margaux_plays is Lausanne (CH) based and has played many instruments since a young age, but DJing is his preferred way to share music. You can book him for a gig anywhere in or near Switzerland. They are also open to making podcasts (at the moment listening to the Ghostcast series).

Since discovering electronic music in 2012, he has spent many nights on the dancefloor in Switzerland (Elysia, Folklor, les Copains d'Abord to name just a few) and elsewhere (mainly in Berlin at the Panorama Bar, Wintergarten, Hoppetosse / CdV and the like).

In 2016 he decided to learn how to spin records, and since then they mainly DJed in rave parties in his home, the canton of Vaud. He also has performed for the 10th anniversary of Nicolas Duvoisin's label "Fantastic Friends Recordings". He has got a residency at l'Âge d'Or (@lagedor.lausanne), is a founding member of the collective Triangulate (@triangulatelausanne) and is part of the organizing team of the Club Paillettes nights (@club_paillettes).

In addition, he never misses an opportunity to pay a visit to their favourite record stores (LEGRAM, Yoyaku, Elevate, Black.round.twelve, deejay.de…), sometimes spending the whole day digging for the next gem! One musical element he constantly has an ear out for is the 'groove', that state of musical grace where the track seems to have taken off rhythmically.

If the names of his favourite clubs and record stores ring a bell, you may have already guessed that the music they play is greatly inspired by a minimalist approach. This is something that he also cultivates in other areas of his life.

"Using these ingredients, I love cooking up a vibe that's inspired by the place where I am and the people I play both with and for, all the while remaining faithful to myself!"
