Meet Marst (Martial Thebault), a talented producer from the suburbs of Paris. Known for his Melodic Techno, he has gained support from global DJs—including Laurent Garnier, who regularly plays his tracks worldwide.
Born in 1988, Marst began his musical journey at age 4 with drums and later taught himself piano, guitar, and bass. As a teen, he led a French Pop-Rock band and produced his first EP thanks to a regional arts grant.
Transition to Electronic Music
Fascinated by technology, he experimented early with Atari and synthesizers. By 2005, he began creating Melodic Techno inspired by artists from Detroit, Chicago, and Berlin—with Laurent Garnier as his main influence.
In 2006, Marst became a resident DJ in Rouen, opening for acts like Vitalic and performing across cities like Paris and Caen. By 2011, he shifted his focus entirely to production.
Rise to Recognition
His track “Sun on the Moon” gained viral traction online and support from artists like Agoria, Seth Troxler, and Nuno Dos Santos. Soon after, “Waterlight”, the B-side, caught Laurent Garnier’s attention, who played it across the globe and even compared it to his classic “Crispy Bacon.”
Following his Sun on the Moon EP release in 2012 via Deep Movements, Marst has continued producing music and remixes for labels like Timid Records, A-Traction, and Espai Music.
