Marjo Lak, creator of All Tribes Dance project, has roots in the Brazilian open-air partie's story. Inspired by her immersions on the dance floor, connected with the dance and collective celebration, since 2003 she develops a solid pathway through the universe of electronic culture. The 33 year old Brazilian is a renown event and party producer and is one of the responsible for Butter Music Brazil. As an eclectic DJ, she has a vast sonorous research, striking up beautiful and energetic sets not only on the dance floor but also on the Chill Outs - always with a stage attitude of someone who enjoys your task. Her downbeat case is a complex walk through Popular Brazilian Music, Ethnic, Soul, Funk, Dub & Black... groove music! On the dance floor, her soundtrack is "greasy" in the essence, but with no definition: a hypnotic-minimalistic fusion of Electro-Tech-House music, a good core of clear basslines, tubular textures with both vocal and tribal elements, always going for dynamic and diverse timbres, quasi-funny sounds: cabaret style. On the holy dance floor ground, Marjo understands everything and everybody as one, all tribes gathered by the same beat, vibrating in unison.

All Tribes Dance - Films & Beats Gathering is a synthesis of many diverse, positive and wide open influences that Marjo absorbed on this prolific and celebratory pathway. Since 2008 Marjo Lak lives in Northern California, where she keeps going ahead in the music research, plays at several non-mainstream parties and develops Sound Healing Therapy studies. In search of the development of human and musical expression, the wheel keeps turning on the roads of creation for the dynamic and eclectic DJ Marjo Lak.
