Céline Marie

My name is Céline Marie and I'm an Austrian DJ/producer and singer-songwriter, as well as the founder and owner of my record label Beat Manufactory (est. 2024) and its sub-labels Beatopia and Beatastic Records (est. 2025). Known for fearless experimentation — the essence of my unique style — my sets and productions stand for energy, precision, and versatility. With a constantly evolving creative vision, I push the boundaries of electronic music, taking my listeners on a captivating journey through my sonic universe like no other.

EARLY STEPS:

Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I took my first steps as a singer and songwriter at a young age, inspired by the sounds of the late 90s and early 2000s — Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B, and beyond. I spent hours singing and dancing, collecting CDs and memorizing lyrics from the booklets. Getting a karaoke machine made me feel like a little superstar — and sparked my passion for writing my own songs. Before I knew it, I had written enough to fill more than five albums. A few years later, I picked up the bass guitar and gained my first band experience in a school band. As a teenager, I discovered EDM and fell in love with it.

THE beginning: 

In 2021, I made the decision to pursue my biggest dream and fully commit to my path as an independent artist. I began shaping my artistic vision and developing the concept for my debut album “Basics”. To bring my ideas to life, I built my home studio Beat Manufactory and took my first steps in music production.

Special Songs (2022-2025):

From 2022-2023, I released my first singles, called the “Special Songs”. As side projects outside of any album, they allowed me to experiment with different sounds and styles, exploring my early musical journey and laying the foundation for my later work.

“Basics” (August 20, 2022): 

On August 20, 2022, I released my first single “Basics”, an instrumental EDM/House track, serving as the full version of the intro and outro from my debut album of the same name. As my first experiment, it reflects my early vision for the album's overall sound, with driving beats and energetic melodies that introduce listeners to my musical world.

“Trick Or Treat” (Oktober 28, 2022): 

On October 28, 2022, I released my second single “Trick Or Treat”, an instrumental EDM/House track that creates a dark and playful atmosphere by combining Halloween-inspired sounds and driving rhythms.

“Invasion” (February 10, 2023): 

On February 10, 2023, I released my third single “Invasion”, produced for the Cyberpunk 2077 Growl FM Music Contest. This instrumental EDM/House track creates a futuristic soundscape with 80's and 90's influences, reflecting a cyberpunk-inspired yet nostalgic atmosphere.

“essentials” (April 4, 2025): 

On April 4, 2025, I released “Essentials”, an instrumental EDM/House track, serving as the full version of the intro and outro from my upcoming second album of the same name. Following the release of my debut album “Basics” on January 3, 2025, “Essentials” marks the beginning of a new musical era, reflecting the evolution of my artistic journey through a more refined and intentional sound.

Single Releases (2023-2024):

“Free” (June 9, 2023): 

On June 9, 2023, I released “Free”, the first single from my debut album “Basics”. “Free” blends Deep House with a short Trap section, and the lyrics are based on personal experiences. Reflecting a challenging time, this track was created with the intention to inspire people and remind them that they are not alone — There is always a way to break free from difficult situations, no matter how hard they may seem.

“Vanity” (March 1, 2024): 

On March 1, 2024, I released “Vanity”, the second single from my debut album “Basics”. “Vanity” is a playful Pop track, driven by marimba-inspired sounds, and the lyrics carry a deeper meaning. Highlighting the importance of not judging others too quickly, it's a reminder to treat each other with more kindness and understanding, as what we often see is only the surface — not the story behind it.

“Luminous” (June 28, 2024): 

On June 28, 2024, I released “Luminous”, the third single from my debut album “Basics”. “Luminous” is a fusion of EDM/Pop and Trap, and continues the story of my track “Free”. The focus shifts to encouragement, especially when it comes to facing challenges — No matter how a situation turns out, there is always something to learn, and that is where real growth begins.

“Feel Loved” (October 11, 2024): 

On October 11, 2024, I released “Feel Loved”, the fourth single from my debut album “Basics”. “Feel Loved” blends Pop and HipHop with futuristic influences, and tells the backstory of my track “Vanity”. At its core, “Feel Loved” emphasizes self-worth and self-love, choosing ourselves over what no longer serves us.

“Thank You” (November 8, 2024): 

On November 8, 2024 I released “Thank You”, the fifth and last single release of my debut album “Basics”. “Thank You” is a heartfelt ballad that blends elements of HipHop/Trap, RnB and Pop. The meaningful lyrics and soulful vocals convey a deep sense of gratitude, making it clear that the song is dedicated to someone who has passed away, honoring their memory.

Debut Album “Basics” (2025):

On January 3, 2025, I released my debut album "Basics", which includes the intro and outro of the special song "Basics" (Full Version), the singles "Free", "Vanity", "Luminous", "Feel Loved" and "Thank You", plus 6 additional songs - The hidden gems. It's an experimental album, inspired by various genres and styles of electronic music. Every song tells a unique story, but one thing unites them all: They were my first experiments in music production - The basics.

“Stole My Heart”:

"Stole My Heart" is inspired by EDM and Pop Music an uplifting EDM/Pop trackand it tells a story about falling in love. It was first written in my childhood and reworked back in 2021-2022, when I started my career as an independent artist/musician. I still love this song and so I kept the chorus, reworked the rest and included the final song in my debut album.

“I Don't Know”:

"I Don't Know" is inspired by House and Pop Music with futuristic/robotic sounding vocals and, like "Stole My Heart", it was first written in my childhood and reworked later. This song is about finding yourself and a place in this big world which is a journey and can also be a challenge.

“Moonlight”:

"Moonlight" is inspired by Pop Music and invites you to take a moment to appreciate life. It’s a gentle reminder to be grateful even for the small things and just dance !

“Rollercoaster”:

"Rollercoaster" is inspired by Pop Music and similar to "Moonlight" in it's meaning. This song describes life as a rollercoaster because sometimes it goes up and down but no matter what happens, we don't have to go through this alone and that helps to overcome any situation in life.

“Karma”:

"Karma" is inspired by House/Deep House and Pop Music and similar to "Vanity" and "Feel Loved" in it's meaning. It's about trust issues and a female person who calls herself Karma because she prefers revenge over forgiveness, which is the key to peace around us and within ourselves - That's the message behind this song and should invite us to live in love and peace.

“Doesn't Matter”:

"Doesn't Matter" is inspired by House and Pop Music and should be a reminder that everyone has a different journey. It also encourages to never give up on goals. There will always be someone who talks against your plans just because it's outside their limits - But don't forget: THEIR limits, NOT YOURS !

SHOWTIME ERA:

In May 2025, I officially opened the Showtime Era with my new single release “Showtime” (released on June 6, 2025). It's an EDM / Techno track, a fusion of the sub-genres Peak Time, Industrial and Minimal Techno, and the lead single of my upcoming EP “Showtime”. Towards the end of 2024, I already worked on the demos for my EP, which should not only open a new musical era, but also a personal one and a proof to those who doubted me. For me, “Showtime” is more than just an EP - It's a statement.

“electrify” (MAy 1, 2026):

On May 1, 2026, I released “Electrify” as the second and final single ahead of my upcoming EP “Showtime”. “Electrify” blends driving Peak Time Techno with euphoric Big Room energy, delivering a powerful sonic experience and unstoppable momentum. It’s pure adrenaline, addictive like a dopamine rush — fast, intense, electrifying. Built in silence. Built on mystery. It was waiting beneath the surface, ready to be unleashed, and now it’s here to electrify your soul !

and all that's left is freedom, connection, and healing
— something that can't be put into words, only felt.”
