Dj Mary Mac

Born in Quebec City, Mary Mac grew up in Kingston Ontario and moved to Ottawa as a teen. Ottawa was home to the birth of her love for electronic music and first ‘DJ’ vinyl purchase – Cowgirl by Underworld, with Rez on the flip.

Mary Mac started DJing in clubs in early 2000, and was one of a handful of DJs in Canada pioneering the UK breakbeat sound. She accomplished a landslide victory in the High Noon Champion DJ battle, beating out Doc Savage in a record-breaking win. Securing several residencies, Mary Mac began headlining in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Halifax at clubs like Collections, Mercury Lounge, The Well, Aria, Saphir, Blue Dog, The Lab, Club Red, and Reflections.

Feeling there was a void in the Ottawa scene, Mary partnered with local drum & bass DJ Grant Kellett to form Breakbeat Empire. They hosted a weekly breaks and d&b format night at MTL & Co. called FRESH, and kept things vibrant with their dual format and weekly blend of local talent and headliners.

Relocating to Vancouver in 2005 Mary Mac moved comfortably into the local drum & bass scene to play shows around the city with the likes of Ray Keith, Benny Page, High Contrast and the Automatic Crew. Over the years she has continued to broaden her musical repertoire with hip hop, dubstep, house, and a blend of genres in every set.

Comfortable in all genres, it has been a natural progression for DJ Mary Mac to perform weddings, corporate events, and venues that need a specifically tailored music for the environment. Mary Mac has been playing for over 14 years and has headlined shows across North America including Halifax, St. John’s, Moncton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria, San Francisco, San Diego & Mexico City.
