The eclectic current runs through the musical journeys of Mario Marini: Balearic Boogie, AOR, Bubblegum, Fusion or even smooth Folk Rock. If there’s a certain delicacy, quirkiness, or tender bass line, Mario Marini’s there for it. Since starting DJ’ing in early 2016, Marijn aan de Stegge has rapidly made name, playing at clubs and festivals such as Doornroosje, Drift, Subcultuur, Paradise Now, Claire and Brebl, playing allongside DJ’s as Hunee, Kamma & Masalo, Mr Scruff, Esa Williams and Mafalda. Marijn started to impress selectors’ ears internationally with carefully crafted, soulful mixes for Rinse, Refuge and Worldwide FM. With many gigs to his name throughout the Netherlands, a bi-monthly radio show at Nijmegen’s Open Source Radio, and an ever-growing record collection, Marijn founded Marini Records in 2019. As the more isolated years came by, his online presence and reach grew as an independent record seller. Marini Records drew the attention of internationally renomated dj’s, collectors and selectors. In 2022, Mario Marini was ready for his next big move: taking his stock to the analog shelves. Early Spring 2022, Marini’s opened his pick-up location in collaboration with PAAK Vinyl Bar. With an ever-expanding musical network and an ever-growing record collection, Marijn is preparing himself for an international tour throughout different areas of France, Germany, the UK and other European countries. With the finest selection of breezy grooves, gems from unexpected places and good Boogie classics on his side, there’s no doubt Mario Marini will put a smile on your face and the boogie sweat on your forehead.
