Bio
A fixture on the minimal music scene for over a decade, Margaret Dyas has played a leading role in the rise of the typically Berlin sound of micro-house. High priestess of the immense Perlon record label – also home to Ricardo Villalobos, Zip, Kalabrese and founder Marcus Nikolaï –, she is revered in electro circles for her clinical precision, the breadth of her musical spectrum and her capacity to fuse hypnotic and jerking rhythms and disembodied loops with 80s funk and jazz flourishes.
Profound, transcendental and unpredictable, each of her performances is a twilight journey through the wide open expanses of micro and dub techno. Her stunning track Frankly, released on Perlon in 2009, is an object lesson in her art: ten minutes of ecstatic bodily abandon, adorned by a far-off saxophone sample, unexpected folk guitar and irresistibly groovy tribal percussion, with a polished sound design that effortlessly demonstrates why Margaret’s productions have become the envy of producers far and wide.
