If you’re a regular here at Nexus Radio, then you’ll know that this year’s Amsterdam Dance Event was jam-packed with amazing artists and that we took the chance to speak to as many of those artists as possible. Today we’re bringing you the highlights of a talk we had with Mexican DJ, Producer, Violinist, and all-around badass Mariana BO about everything from music, to mental health.
The first thing you have to know about Mariana BO is that she’s a self-described “classical girl”, and it shows. From her outstanding 2022 single “Vivaldi” to more traditional club tracks like “Drop It” or “Light Up”, her use of the violin, as well as a more classical approach to music in general, has been a running theme that’s defined her work.
“I think meditation is all you need… What I do is play my violin on my own, alone in my room. It’s a kind of meditation for me. Just ten minutes a day, and that’s everything.”
Finally, to round things off, we asked her to describe her perspective on EDM to someone who’s never experienced it before.
“It’s a dark world,” says Mariana, “which is perfect for me because I’m a little dark and you’re going to love it… Techno can take you to another world.”
