Underground DJ and producer, vinyl lover and activist, vintage-synth junkie, Analogue Cop. Marieu was born in Padua, Italy, during the emerging years of House Music. In the mid 90s his first club experiences with house and disco set in, and eventually he found his way into more refined or complex electronic styles.
Dissatisfied with the Italian club scene at the time, he moved to Barcelona in 2004, where he began DJing, under the influence of some of the biggest Techno DJs visiting the clubs there. In that sunny city he also met fellow countryman Lucretio, sharing a passion for true house and techno, and Detroit's melodic influence.
After a couple of years of spinning and clubbing together, unsatisfied by the quality of most records being released, upset by the digitalization of music and by the in-genuine people that often came with it, they decided to move to Berlin. Together in Berlin, the two founded a strictly underground vinyl label named, 'Restoration Records'.
Marieu’s first solo appearance on the label came out in summer of 2008; 'Hammer', on the 'Resistance On My Mind Ep'. In that track, Marieu showed the development of his own sound: warm and funky, solid and relentless. The track was lauded by a wealth of 'True Techno' DJs around the globe.
In the spring of 2009, Marieu and Lucretio began a collaboration with Steffi (OstGut / Dolly / Klakson), naming their project 'Third Side'. Their first full EP, 'Nyx' (rst010) was highly acclaimed and quickly sold out, naturally on vinyl only. Third Side now offer up their first album, 'Unified Fields'; a heavy debut of purist house, techno and electro made only with outboard, hardware equipment.
Since September 2009 he has released more raw and pumping hardware-only tracks on the 'Live Jam Records' label, as 'ACE' (together with EMG and Lucretio) and as 'Appointment' (with EMG, John Swing and Lucretio).
In summer of 2010, Marieu founded the 'Appointment' imprint together with Lucretio and his friends from 'Relative Records'. As Appointment they made 2 official remixes of Moodymann´s track 'I Can´t Kick This Feeling When It Hits', which saw a release on the 'Decks Reworx' label.
In 2011 Marieu started his solo label Enlightened Wax, with focus on his own material. Always pro-active, together with Blawan and Lucretio, Marieu started a new project called 'Parassela', focussing on raw punchy underground techno. The first release as Parassela is already a collector’s item.
His relentless mixes (absolutely vinyl-only) range from the funkiest Chicago tracks to the heaviest Brooklyn techno, but always affected by a strong Detroit/Berlin leaning.
Marieu is a connoisseur of anima and manga, being deeply fascinated by the Japanese culture. He draws all the artwork for the Restoration label and is also in charge of creating the videos for the label. Together with Lucretio he works at a record distributor in Berlin, nurturing the deep cultural values that vinyl brings with it.
