About me
Hello here is Marian from Dresden (Germany) aka Merry:).
It's wonderful that you're taking a look at my website.
Here is my background as a DJ
​
Since my early youth, I have been infected by the fever of electronic music. The legendary times of the nineties in East Germany shaped my musical taste. I was particularly hooked on GoaTrance and its culture back then. So I became a DJ - first with vinyl, then with CDs and now with USB sticks - and very quickly had a lot of gigs in Germany. I also found my passion for organizing parties and founded the collective “Insulin Productions” with friends, with whom we combined techno, PsyTrance and drum & bass at our parties.
​
In 2001, the “Gaggalacka” was born, which was my small birthday open-air party for the first few years and grew more and more into a playful, family festival over the years. The new generation of the association has been keeping the festival alive since 2021. Over those last two decades, I have also lived my passion for putting together compilations and DJing at various international parties and festivals in every cell of my body.

My path to conscious dancefloors
​
After more than 25 years in the depths of the underground of the psytrance scene and a life between nights and festivals, the desire for personal development grew in me. I have always been fascinated by music that is suitable for conscious dancefloors - and many of these tracks have already found their place in my ChillOut sets over the years. But it wasn't until a few years ago that I discovered ecstatic dance and sober raves - events and ceremonies which you celebrate in a mindful and connected way. This is how I found my way to not only continue living my passion as a DJ and dancer, but to shape it as a healing path.
​
Merry:) now as Ecstatic DJ
​
There are many musical interfaces to electronic and psychedelic music here, which I want to continue to live out passionately and with which I want to make dance floors happy. My own musical trance “stamp” will be unmistakable with my music collection, which has grown over the years and is constantly expanding. On the other hand, I love to create musical journeys - without limits - and to take the conscious dancefloor with me. Whether it's an ecstatic wave, a groovy downbeat set, a euphoric techno/trance set or even a kicking psy-trance set - I'm looking forward to every opportunity that arises in the future, every encounter and every dancefloor, every cocoa ceremony and what can grow out of it...





Ecstatic Dance
Have you ever experienced Ecstatic Dance? What is it? Imagine dancing in an environment without observers, judgments, attitudes, conversations, shoes, drugs, alcohol or smoking. A space where everyone can spontaneously feel safe to try new things and push their limits. It's the dance you do when no one is watching.
Here is a little insight into the world of ecstatic movements, freedom, unity and unconditional love.
​
Looking for an Ecstatic Dance journey with focus on deep musical flow and energetic storytelling? DJ Merry:) is your vibe. Each wave is crafted with care, fine-tuned over evenings, and danced through until it feels just right — in sync with the space, the people, and the energy. This is my new passion. When my music helps others connect, move, and heal, that’s the highest reward. That’s what I live for — and what heals me too.
