Achilles Maro, professionally known as MARO, is a DJ, music editor, and producer exploring the intersection of global club sounds, underground music culture, and contemporary dance music. Driven by a passion for rhythm, experimentation, and musical discovery, his sound moves fluidly across Baile Funk, Amapiano, R&B and Hip-Hop, House, Miami Bass, Jersey Club, and Techno.
Beyond DJ performances, MARO develops his own musical identity through edits, flips, and reworks, transforming familiar records into fresh interpretations designed for the dance floor. His approach combines diverse sonic influences with an instinct for energy, groove, and unexpected transitions, creating a sound that moves between different scenes without being confined to a single genre.
Through his SoundCloud platform, MARO shares his musical explorations with a growing community of listeners and fellow DJs, using edits and flips as a space for experimentation and creative expression. His work reflects a broader interest in how music evolves through reinterpretation, collaboration, and the exchange of influences across global club culture.
Outside the booth, MARO is the founder of FRACTIVE Worldwide and Soiree Savant, two creative ventures that reflect his involvement in music, event curation, and nightlife culture. His experience spans DJ performances and music-driven events across Bandung, Surakarta, and Yogyakarta, alongside his professional experience as an event manager at Vortuin Social Hub and his regular DJ performances at DVAULT Solo.
Balancing the perspectives of an artist, curator, and event creator, MARO approaches music as more than a performance. For him, it is a platform for bringing people together, discovering new sounds, and creating connections between artists, communities, and cultures.
With an evolving sound and an independent creative mindset, MARO continues to explore new musical directions while contributing to the development of Indonesia's club and nightlife scene.
