MAEDON

BIOGRAPHY

Struggle often creates stronger art, and for Maeghan Donovan, the artist known as Maedon, this certainly rings true. Splitting her time between grimy Baltimore and filthy Philly while learning her craft, her 2018 arrival in NYC confirmed her emergence into the scene, debuting on Brooklyn/Berlin techno powerhouse Sonic Groove. A longtime student of industrial and wave music, combining this with the tough techno pioneered by this NYC institution brought her to new breakthroughs and an international audience. Three years later, Maeghan forges ahead to the next phase of her career following a well-received collaborative full-length with Adam X as Maedon-X on the legendary Tresor that confirmed her voice with finessed production and raw, autobiographical and political content. In 2023, she launched her Rant & Rave imprint seeking to platform female artists alongside established and new voices and refocus her sound on artistic techno, a move solidified by her continuing residency at Tresor. Assuring her future as the world falls apart, Maedon’s bracing sound and undeniable skills are a story still unfolding with its beginnings written in grit.
