The act
An intimate dinner is where Mari. can begin with acoustic or vinyl sounds before the wedding moves towards funkier dance floor energy. The Sydney artist blends R&B, soul, disco funk and hip hop through vocals, poetic lyrics, looping, rap and improvised sampling. She also works as both a digital and vinyl DJ, allowing the mood to range from slow and romantic to upbeat. Mari. is described as flexible, stylish and attentive to the expression the occasion requires. The moment to hear her is as the reception changes gear, when a fluid artist can connect intimate music with collective movement.

Good to know
What to expect
Nothing is set in stone before she arrives. Mari. builds a solo set live, looping vocals, dropping in rap and sampling on the spot, so the performance grows through the night instead of running down a list. Over dinner it can be vinyl or acoustic and quiet enough to talk across. Later it turns funky and pointed at the dance floor. She moves between the two as she reads the room, and being a trained live mixing engineer she's paying attention to how it actually sounds out where you're standing.
On the day
A power outlet is usually all she asks of the venue. Everything else comes with her: PA, mixers, decks and her own looping gear. If your venue already has a system, or you'd rather she worked with what's installed, that's worth raising early so the setup gets planned around it.
Performance options
Four different bookings live under this one name. A vinyl DJ set is the first, and the decks and PA can come with her or stay yours if the venue already has them. A digital DJ set is the other, sized to whatever you need, an hour at one end or a full six hour night at the other, with gear included. Away from the decks she works as a solo artist, and there's an acoustic duo version as well. Say what the room is and how long you want music running, and she'll tell you which of those fits.
