- Sydney-born, London/Ibiza-based DJ Marlie has signed with Amsterdam agency Meanwhile for worldwide live music and touring representation, excluding North and South America.
- She continues with Spyros Bonikos for bookings across the Americas.
- The deal lands as Marlie launches her first Ibiza residency, Motel Marlie, with confirmed dates at Gottwood, Sunwaves, and Josh Baker's You&Me at Amnesia Ibiza.
- Meanwhile continues an aggressive 2026 signing run, having recently added Jhobei, Ellia Jaya, and Gaskin to its underground electronic roster.
Marlie, the Sydney-born DJ now splitting her time between London and Ibiza, has signed with Amsterdam-based Meanwhile for live music and touring representation worldwide, excluding North and South America.
The deal formalizes global booking infrastructure around an artist who built her name the slow way, through thoughtful selections and underground community rather than viral hype.
Marlie has played rooms like Fabric, DC10, FUSE, and Shelter, and continues to work with Spyros Bonikos, who stays on for North and South American bookings.
This summer opens a new chapter for Marlie with the launch of her first Ibiza residency, Motel Marlie. She’s also booked for Gottwood, Sunwaves, and Josh Baker’s You&Me at Amnesia Ibiza, the promoter’s new 14-week residency running weekly through October 2026.
Meanwhile has spent 2026 building one of the most closely watched underground electronic rosters in Europe. The agency signed Jhobei in April, Ellia Jaya weeks later, and most recently Gaskin, all deals covering worldwide or near-worldwide territory.
Marlie’s signing extends that pattern, adding another artist whose reputation is built on dancefloor credibility over mainstream crossover.
Takeaways
Marlie’s signing fits a wider pattern: underground DJs formalizing global booking structure once festival and residency calendars outgrow word-of-mouth.
The territory split, Meanwhile for the rest of the world, SC Agency for the Americas, echoes the arrangement Gaskin struck with UTA, suggesting agencies are increasingly comfortable sharing an artist rather than competing for the whole picture.
For Meanwhile, Marlie is another deliberate addition to a roster built on scene credibility rather than chart numbers.
Could Motel Marlie become a launchpad for a broader Ibiza brand, the way Roots grew from a single party into a global community? Will Meanwhile’s next moves keep favoring artists with strong independent brands, like Marlie’s Roots, over solo touring acts?
