Ever since Marco first set his eyes on a set of decks in 1993 the 'spinning wheels of steel' have made his world go around. From very early on these musical loops delving into what was for him and many, new musical territory soon would play very influential role in his future.

Mix tapes of his idols were not enough to keep him satisfied for long. The real biz was required. Before long turntables were within his financial grasp and many a weekend was spent blasting up the country to savour the club scene in neighbouring Zurich. Meanwhile back in his home town Solothurn a scene was starting to form, the familiar scenario of house parties, illegal raves, after hours sessions was taking hold and things would never be the same again.



He became a regular in the club scene up in Zurich and finally 2000 saw him make the move to the city. Starting off with bar gigs it wasn't before long that he and his long standing partner in crime, Don Ramon found themselves playing in Zurich’s Stratos Lounge, January 5th 2001. First impressions were good and before long he was working his way up through the underground from the fabled Aera club to Zurich’s biggest claim to fame to date- Streetparade. Next he became involved with the cult organization Chromolux run by Miguel 'Sampayo'.



Today he continues to tread the ever changing line between House and Techno. His many musical influences are set to something which is the absolute must- have in his sets . A fat, round DRIVING beat! This accompanied by fresh, crisp production and a pinch of mischief makes for a rude, funky underground vibe, never losing sight of the fact that this is a party.



In 2005 Marco achieved several of his personal goals. Having spent many a summer frequenting the world Mecca of club culture, Ibiza, he and best mate Don Ramon got themselves behind the decks at Space and then got to wind down whiling away the afternoon exploring the more languid sounds in their box playing on Salinas Beach. Back to the city and a gig in Q came next. One of the city’s top clubs blessed with probably the best system in the country.



His appearance at the hottest parties the city has to offer for the more discerning listener has now become a common occurrance. February 2006 saw the legendary DachKantine close its doors after 3 years and Marco was a regular face there behind the decks for the duration, sometimes playing all night, 7 or 8 hour sets with Don Ramon. In the wake of DachKantine comes Hive, where Marco has his new residency,



Several years ago Marco invested in a piece of studio kit known as a Groovebox and since then he has built up a home studio and has been honing his skills and making tracks that are increasingly holding their own when played next to some of the favourite names in his box. You know whats coming next, so watch this space . and the beat goes on .
