podcast #01 mixed by Marleen Polakowski

At the early age of 14, Marleen Polakowski discovered her passion for electronic music. In 2004, she started practicing mixing vinyl with her DJ friends and has been unstoppable ever since.

In 2006, she went to Australia for nearly two years to network with international contacts in the electronic music industry and to diversify her musical influences. There, she started playing with CDs and also began producing her own music with several software sequencers.

In early 2008, she returned to Germany and, at the age of 17, began her DJ career at the legendary “Rheingold” Club (also known as Poison Club) in Düsseldorf.

On April 11, 2011, she released her first official EP “Confused Flute” on the label “BM Slim” (a sublabel of Baile Musik) under her old artist name “Mimi Marleen.” In 2014, she began again with a few remixes, including Patrik Berg’s hit “Aquamarin” on the Berlin label “Fanciful.”

In 2013, she joined Mike Maaß’s emerging Techno label and agency “Black Circus,” which stands for straight and drifty Techno.

To this day, the young techno-driven artist is active nationally and internationally. She has already played in big clubs like Sankeys in Ibiza and Borderline in Switzerland, and is booked by the best clubs in Germany, including several clubs in Berlin, Nature One Festival, Tanzhaus West in Frankfurt, and Butan Club in Wuppertal, to offer the audience a unique techno highlight.
