Mara

Since 1997, Barry Gilbey and Sarah Whittaker-Gilbey have been producing tracks as Mara that have attracted DJs, clubbers and dance music enthusiasts the world over.

Formed to simply “make the music we were excited by”, Mara quickly achieved just that, and then some. Heavy support on early singles such as “Falling” and “Orinoco” coming from Digweed, Taylor and Jimmy Van Malleghem meant the duo had got off to a perfect start, with the latter track even becoming a Twilo and Cream anthem at the hands of Sasha.

Since then, Mara have taken their sound to new levels. The awesome “Desanitize” on Acetate Ltd. became a nu-school breakbeat anthem while remixes for Freefall, Chakra and Mark Shimmon amongst others created more than a buzz in the press and on dancefloors worldwide. Original productions such as “One”, “Coming Down” and “Fall from Grace” appeared on countless mix cds (including several global underground cd’s) and radio shows while, yet again doing damage in the all important clubs.

The year 2002 has seen an even more diverse direction to the Mara sound, with Danny Tenaglia, Deep Dish, Anthony Pappa and Satoshi Tomiie all championing Mara tracks and remixes on their ever popular Choo Choo imprint as well as the more progressive influenced jocks.

As if vinyl wasn’t enough, Mara’s pristine live shows showcase Barry’s djing skill and Sarah’s amazing vocal ability and stage presence to such great effect that they’re unmissable. Previous shows have devastated floors in Miami, Toronto, Atlanta, Mexico, Amsterdam and even in one the Uk’s finest vinyl emporiums, Massive Records.

Add all of this to large singles on Choo Choo, Tune Inn (as Prototype), Akademia Recordings, work BT, Satoshi Tomiie, Saeed & Palash, and the artist album “If You Only Knew” you’d be a fool not to check them out.
