“Dark and rowdy club sounds.
Over the last few years, Martyna Maja has emerged as one of techno’s most rebellious new voices. Her sound is tastefully hard and thrillingly vicious, something she says she learned from Poland’s underground scene—clubs like Jasna1, the former party Brutaz and the WIXAPOL crew—which introduced her to the strains of EBM, industrial, hardcore and neo-gabber that give her style a fresh twist. In the DJ booth, as Will Lynch once put it, Maja has a “freestyling, don’t-give-a-fuck attitude,” a quality that can be applied to everything she touches, from her mixing style, production work and choice of collaborators (fellow rule breakers like SPFDJ and Varg) down to her piss-taking social media presence.
Maja’s enjoyed a meteoric rise as a DJ since moving from Warsaw to Berlin in 2018, playing on industrial-heavy lineups like Amsterdam’s Katharsis Festival to experimental events like Atonal, CTM and Unsound. Her productions, too, have earned a passionate following, once again defying expectations for what techno, EBM and acid can be. Her mix for RA, made up of mostly new tracks she’s been playing out recently, accelerates through these peak-time rave styles with an extrovert’s touch. In this period of social-distancing, RA.722 is an evil reminder of just how wicked a night at the club can be.”
