The LEKTRONIC Show starts 2023 with a fierce techno artist, rising in the Australian electronic scene – Ophelie Mercury. As a self-professed Rock’n’roll child, Ophélie has been passionate about music since the very beginning. From the rumble of Rock’n’Roll to the swing of samba, tribal beats resonated through her childhood home; day in, day out. Finding one’s stage alias can be tricky, however Ophélie’s obsession with Queen and their front man’s majestically magnetic legacy graced her with effortless inspiration to become “Ophélie Mercury”.

Growing up in France, Ophélie fell head over heels in love with the decks after her best friend and DJ, ‘Alex Montana’ showed her the ropes. It was love at first sight, and it wouldn’t be long before securing her first bar residency in the Marais Paris. At night she was spinning wild and electric tunes and during the day she was spinning magical designs for a creative agency. Her music style combines Techno, tribal beats and groove to build her own musical universe and create a boogie temple for clubbers.

In 2017, Ophélie moved to Melbourne where she started to play and guest DJ across other Melbourne underground music clubs. Melbourne’s vibrant electronic scene has inspired Ophélie to produce more music and build on her already impressive original tracklist. A multi-faceted artist, Ophélie also likes to create her own universe by designing her album artwork and video clips.

After the pandemic had hit Melbourne and the music scene started to recover, Ophélie began to play for ‘Eat the Beat’ parties and shared the stage with great artists such as Alan Fitzpatrick, Christian Smith, Andres Campo, and Nakadia. Ophelie spread her magical techno vibes at Esoteric Festival (Australia).

In April 2022 she played alongside Carl Cox, Reinier Zonneveld, Bart Skils, Eric Powell and few local legends for PURE Festival in Melbourne.

She also shared the stage in December 2022 with Richie Hawtin, Joseph Capriati and Victor Ruiz for PiKNik Electronik at the iconic Sidney Myer Music Bowl.

Her music is catchy and fierce. It will make you want to dance, and her goal is to connect people through vibration, energy and a little bit of music magic.
