Mareux Tickets

Los Angeles-based synth-pop artist Mareux takes musical cues from dark music, love songs, coldwave, post-punk, and dance music. His electronic beats and thumping bass lines are accompanied by brooding, emotional lyrics, earning acclaim among darkwave fans.

Mareux is the electronic music project of producer Aryan Ashtiani, who got his start in music while learning guitar from a childhood friend. He later picked up the upright bass in his school's orchestra, and began to learn music theory. Ashtiani was influenced by the eurodance videos he watched on Polish MTV during summers spent in Iran, and he started producing electronic music as a hobby.

Ashtiani was inspired to begin his own music career when he heard TR/ST's debut album in 2012, and chose the stage name Mareux. While the name has no specific reference, Ashtiani told�New Noise Magazine�that he chose it in order to avoid "getting lost in the vastness of the internet."

Mareux released his first EP, Decade, in 2013. In 2015, he released a cover of The Cure's "The Perfect Girl," and it became a streaming hit in 2021 when a sped-up version took off on TikTok. In 2022, Mareux put out a video for the song starring�RuPaul's Drag Race�winner Violet Chachki. He was subsequently booked for both weekends of Coachella in 2023, and his debut album,�Lovers From The Past, was released shortly after.

Mareux will continue his global headlining tour throughout 2023, performing concerts in the United States and Europe.
