These days
, you'll likely catch
Miss Mary Mac
with her Macbook in tow, rocking out via Serato and turntables a
selection of hip hop, house, bassy electronic and reggae-inspired music that interests and excites, and is sure to rock a dance floor. In early 2000, Mary Mac was one of a
handful of DJs in Canada pioneering the UK breakbeat sound. She
advanced quickly from basement DJ status to playing out at clubs and
raves in Ottawa after a landslide victory in the High Noon Champion DJ
battle, beating out Doc Savage in a record-breaking win. Securing
several residencies, Mary Mac began headlining in Ottawa, Montreal,
Toronto and Halifax at clubs like Collections, Mercury Lounge, The
Well, Aria, Saphir, Blue Dog, The Lab, Club Red, and Reflections.
Feeling
there was a void in the Ottawa scene, Mary partnered with local drum
& bass DJ Grant Kellett to form Breakbeat Empire. They hosted a
weekly breaks and d&b format night at MTL & Co. called FRESH, and kept things vibrant with their dual format and weekly blend of local talent and headliners. Relocating to Vancouver Mary Mac moved right in to the local drum & bass scene and has continued to broaden her musical repertoire with hip hop, dubstep, and a blend of genres in every set.
Mary Mac has been playing raves, parties, clubs, stores,
salons, breakdance competitions, fashion, art, and radio shows, and
weddings for over 10 years. Mary has graced decks across North America, including Halifax,
Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria, San Francisco &
Mexico City!
