From melancholy to bittersweet euphoria, TDJ’s vaporous and acidulous universe is an incongruous amalgam between Geneviève Ryan-Martel’s years of composing guitar ballads and experimenting with electronic music production.
The materialization of her first loves for techno, trance and eurodance; Geneviève takes from her nostalgia of the classics signed by Tiestö, Gamemaster, Signum or ATB, but also from her emo youth influenced by artists like Blink-182, From First To Last, and Taking Back Sunday.
Her first EP “TDJ001”, a trance record written on a pirated version of Fruity Loops in her Montreal apartment’s kitchen, releases in 2020. Critical acclaim, however, came later in 2021 with the explosive release of her eurodance centric EP “TDJ002”, with standout tracks “Lalala (Want Somebody)” and “Open Air”, opening her up to media praise from Trax Magazine, Tsugi, Inrockuptibles as well as support and remixes from artists such as X-Coast, Paul Seul and Panteros666.
