Interview with the new frenchy fav of electronic M4RIN

Hi M4RIN, happy to have you on Good Panda Selection. For those discovering you, how would you define yourself today as an artist?

Hey what's up ? who are you marin??! 🎧

Yo, thanks for the invitation 🐼

Today, I define myself more as a sound explorer than just a DJ or producer. I started like many others, trying to fit into boxes, but over time I understood that what really drives me is blending worlds.

House, afro house, future rave, techno… all of that is just tools. What matters to me is emotion, the energy you transmit on a dancefloor or through headphones at 3am.

What is your sound idendity? 🔊

Question: Your universe is often described as hypnotic and immersive. How do you build this sonic identity?

I almost always start from a vibe, not a genre.

It can be a looping bassline, an organic texture, an afro groove, or even a well-placed silence. I like it when music breathes, when it takes its time but still remains powerful.

I’m strongly influenced by clubs, but also by landscapes, lights, and night atmospheres. I try to create tracks that tell a story without words.

Stage shared 🌟

Question: You have shared the stage with artists like Black Coffee, Adana Twins, or Boris Brejcha. What did that teach you?

It mainly taught me one thing: to stay true.

All of these artists share one thing in common: they have a strong identity and they don’t fake it. They play their music, not what people expect from them.

On stage, you quickly understand that technique is important, but the essential part is the connection with the audience. Reading a crowd, feeling the energy, knowing when to push and when to let go.

Constant evolve 🚀

Question: Your M4RIN project seems to be constantly evolving. What are you looking for in this constant evolution?

I’m simply trying not to get bored.

As soon as I feel like I’ve mastered something too well, I want to go elsewhere. Testing new rhythms, new structures, sometimes even breaking what I built before.

For me, electronic music has to stay alive, sometimes almost imperfect, but sincere.

Advice for the new producer ?💡

Question: A word on the current scene and young producers starting out?

There’s a huge amount of talent today, but also a lot of pressure.

My advice would be simple: don’t chase trends. They fade quickly. Build your sound, even if it takes longer to be understood.

And above all, make music because you love it, not for numbers. The rest will follow, or not, but at least you’ll be aligned.

what's next? ✨

Question: Finally, what can we expect from M4RIN next?

Music, again and always.

Deeper tracks, more narrative-driven sets, and live experiences that mix raw energy with suspended moments.

The idea is to keep taking people on a journey, without telling them where they have to go.
