Coach by day. DJ by night.

​

Ryan Marklewitz, also known as Fenrir (pronounced 'Fen-reer')​, is a professional swim coach, former USA Swimming athlete, and a 2013 graduate of Elon University.​

​

Throughout Ryan's competitive swimming career, from the local level all the way to the national stage, music was always a part of the race. He religiously created unique mixes and began experimenting and exploring in the world of electronic dance music (EDM) to help get ready to race hard and also out of sheer enjoyment.

​

Sharing these mixes with his USA Swimming athletes, he realized that they were excited to be listening to something new and different than simply what was on the radio. He started DJing in college and found a great reception to the introduction of EDM into the mainstream.



It was from this love of EDM that Fenrir, a DJ specifically for a new era of dance, was born. Not content with simply pressing "play" like some DJs, Fenrir creates a unique experience by playing live remixes of popular songs in addition to EDM popular on the international scene. He delivers an experience more akin to a high-energy dance concert than your average formal dance or typical sporting event.

​

You won't ever look at music the same way again. Rage on.
