Data Cult Audio 0222 - Moxy Martinez

About: Moxy Martinez, a self taught DJ & producer, has created, performed, produced, and contributed original music and DJ sets for a variety of projects both nationally and internationally since 2003. They have worked and collaborated with individual artists, art institutions, art galleries, dance studios, live music venues, and film projects throughout their career. Highlights of Moxy's career include DJing the Trans Musicales festival in France (2007), being hand selected by Tom Sachs for his show ‘Tom Sachs: Boombox Retrospective’ at the Contemporary, Austin providing a unique DJ mix which was played from inside his sculptures (2015), and contributing original music to Emmy nominated documentary Tiny Out Loud (2015). In addition, Moxy has recently (2018- present) worked with the Columbus Museum of Art and The Wexner Center for the Arts providing live DJ sets, performing live synthesizer sets and mediating discussion forums with other artists. Most notably, in collaboration with The Wex and Counterfeit Madison, Moxy produced the sold out show ‘Say A Little Prayer: An Aretha Franklin Celebration’ held at the Lincoln Theatre, February 2020. Moxy has also performed and released music as Osea Merdis since 2016. The Osea Merdis project is structured around ideas which are 100% created on analog synths (mainly Moog Mother 32 ecosystem). These ideas, paired with self captured field recordings, contort everyday life into a uniquely identifying audio personality. Moxy’s Osea Merdis project is very discerning, emotionally intentional, and based in the need to express the softer side of life even through struggles and sufferings.
