Delayed with... Mary Yuzkovskaya
Mary Yuzovskaya's mix for Delayed captures her defining approach to techno: raw, hypnotic, and unhurried. As a vinyl-only DJ with roots in Berlin's techno underground and a significant stretch in New York's scene, she shapes her music with precision, offering an hour-long set that feels both intimate and intense. This mix is crafted for those who get lost in the beat, whether booming from Berghain's Funktion-One system or spinning in your headphones on a midnight walk.
During her years in NYC, Mary's sound took on new depth, honed through a three-year residency with the Unter collective and work at Brooklyn's Halcyon record shop, where she later launched her label, Monday Off. Dedicated to "psychedelic techno," Monday Off became a home for artists who push beyond the genre's usual limits. Through her label, Mary has amplified a vision of techno that doesn't rely on trends but thrives on nuance and a deliberate, mind-bending drive.
Back in Berlin, Mary's reach grows, with regular gigs at clubs like Berghain and Tresor or Munich's Rote Sonne, NYC's Basement, and releases on respected labels like Semantica, Attic, Kvalia, and her own Monday Off. This mix for Delayed shows how she keeps the music tightly focused yet open to exploration—an hour that reflects her journey, rooted in vinyl and built for techno's true devotees.
