About Me

Marjorie Ribeiro, Brazilian, 31, Sagitarium, a.k.a. Marjo Lak, started DJing in 2004 while studying Acupuncture in Brazil (her main occupations are Traditional Chinese Medicine, Healing Arts, Yoga and Pilates). At that time she was invited to be the resident Dj at "Cultura Lounge" in Brasilia, Brazil – a modern mix of restaurant + club focused mainly on lounge and downbeat. That was the first break Marjo Lak had to externalize all the research she had been doing about her real passion, Brazilian Music, mixing good old tracks with modern beats and grooves. At that occasion her main influences were Brazilian Music (of course), Soul, Funk, Dub and Black Music. But it was through the experience on dancefloors (she herself is a very experienced dancer!) that she connected with progressive-house music and in 2005 BUTTER MUSIC was created. What started out as a gag among friends – all great admirers of good underground progressive house music – quickly became a respected reference to the electro-minimal-tech-house music scene in Brazil. Along with her partners Dj Uver ( www.myspace.com/djuver ) & Dj Wash ( www.myspace.com/washbuttermusic ), she runs BUTTER MUSIC – now composed of eight DJs spreading and melting musical BUTTER all over the main dancefloors in Brazil. Lately, she has been studying Healing Arts and travelling around with an international mission: "SPREADING THE BUTTER, babe!" Marjo Lak is not limited to electro-minimal beats: she keeps working on her lounge and ambient dj sets, good for performing at chill outs and "warm-up" parties. Bearer of special charisma, Marjo Lak..s style was once described as pure "butter cabaret" made of “raunchy” tracks - erotic::sensual:: dirty::exotic::hot::fetishist: :::sexy - low BPM, serious bass line and tubular textures. Provocative music... to make the dancers melt into BUTTER!!!
