Bio
Marco was born in 1977. He was raised in Edinburgh Scotland's capital city brought up on a diet of clubs and raves and the free party seen, Marco’s first real break came in the late 90’s when he entered the Vestax DJ Mixing Competition which he was runner up in the contest, this raised his profile amongst local promoters. Which lead to him being offered a number of gigs, some of which became residencies, around his home town of Edinburgh and various other towns and Cities in Scotland this also led to him supporting artist like Mr C, Kenny Larkin, Larry Heard, Marshall Jefferson, Robert Owens, Mathew Herbert, Felix The Housecat, Seb Fontaine, Jim Shaft Ryan, Murray Richardson and Timo Mass.
Marco's rise from total obscurity has been achieved due to his natural ability, genuine enthusiasm, and his constant desire to improve his craft.Technical excellence is very important to Marco, so when he is not playing out you will find him practicing, mixing and experimenting with various styles, endeavouring to constantly improve his already very impressive D.J. capabilities. Marco describes his sound as Mainroom Groovy Business a bit of tech a bit of house which meet in the middle some where and the outcome is magical , he mixes in a style that moves and grabs any dance floor, no matter what direction he chooses to take it, once he has captured you with his inventive style there is no escape until he has spun his last tune .Coming straight from the dance floor, Marco knows instinctively what it is a crowd wants, and how to deliver it, his genuine love for music is abundantly clear.
Marco has also been a reviewer for English based TTR Magazine. being in constant contact with the artist’s and labels he has grown to love was a fantastic experience for him and getting to know the people behind the music and the labels has been great fun ,and the experience was invaluable “ I love music, I just could not imagine even one day with out some form of music in my life” Over the last 13 years Marco has held residencies and spun at some fantastic club nights:
,Tokyoblu @ Cabaret Voltaire, Dirty Habits New Zealand, Music Matters Sydney, Edinburgh Rocks Various, Murray Richardson's Rebel waltz @ c2, Colours Scotland various venues, Hed kandi various venues, Taste @ the Honeycomb "old and new" and Wilkie House & Cabaret Voltaire music box @ Berlin, Space Invaders @ Space, Phunkup various, Musika @ Liquid Room Acetate @ Liquid Room Retrospective Of House @ Berlin Bang @ Club Noa Beatroot @ Luna formely ego, House Technique @ Ego Flaunt @ Massa Hotty Notty @ Berlin Atomic Baby @ La Belle Angelle House Sessions @ the Honeycomb Sparkle @ the Q Bar Strictly Frisky @ City In Glasgow: Fruitfly @ the Arches, flaunt @ massa, Miss Money penny's Scotland, Cream Scotland Various, Aurall @ Mas, Cosmic Disco @ vaults, Cream @ Liquidrooms, Music box @ Berlin, Edinburgh Boat Party, Change @ Space.
Marco plays out more of a funky techy sound but holds a love for deep house , disco, funk , anything with a groove really .... also there are no laptops or retouch to any of my mixs these are all done on 2 decks and a mixer.
PEACE & DANCIN
