BUNKER interview w/ Mary Velo
interview 005: Mary Velo
(Frozen Border/Gynoid Audio/Semantica Records)
Originally from Toronto, Canada, Mary Velo has been involved in music from an early age but it wasn’t until the 80’s where she discovered Depeche Mode and became attracted to deep & moody sounds. In 2007, she moved to Berlin to focus on her music career where she was strongly influenced by the Deep House & Techno scene. With a creditable discography which includes releases on labels such as Frozen Border, Semantica, Gynoid Audio & Coincidence, Mary has proven that hard work does indeed pay off.
We recently sat down with Mary to discuss a range of topics including; the state of Canada’s techno scene, creative processes when writing music, the vinyl vs digital debate, playing at Berghain and much more. Enjoy!
