Mario Marini b2b Davy Brandts

Mario Marini is a Nijmegen based record dealer and DJ. A connoisseur of the big vibe music, the selector incorporates a broad array of groovy stuff into his sonic tapestries. 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 DTRH, Drift, Wildeburg, Paradise Now, Sacré and Doornroosje, playing allongside DJ’s as Hunee, Kamma & Masalo, Mr Scruff, MLiR, Esa Williams and Mafalda to name a few. Marijn started to impress selectors’ ears internationally with carefully crafted, soulful mixes for Rinse, Refuge and Worldwide FM.

With his ever-growing record collection and additional musical knowledge, 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 opened his recordstore in collaboration with PAAK Vinyl Bar. Released one of this year’s festival anthems with the infamous Blauwdruk label, distributed by Rushhour. Support by Antal, Palmstrax, Kenji Takimi & more.
With the finest selection of breezy grooves, gems from unexpected places and 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.
