DJ Marky

About the artist

In a career that spans over two decades, DJ Marky has gone from an avid record collector and music enthusiast in his native Brazil to an internationally revered DJ and producer, label-head of his own Innerground Records, and owner of the event series DJ Marky & Friends. Not only is DJ Marky one of the most charismatic live DJs, but his instinctive nature behind the decks has seen him become widely regarded as one of the finest selectors in the business. Alongside his ventures as a DJ, Marky has released iconic tracks and albums - firmly establishing himself as one of the most characteristic and energetic mainstays in the drum and bass scene. Hailing from São Paulo, Brazil, DJ Marky's life changed when he was playing at a São Paulo nightclub in 1998 and was spotted by Brian D. After enduring a lack of audiences in Brazil, he gained success in the English scene, playing monthly at Bar Rumba in Piccadilly Circus and mixing music live for radio. In 1999, English critics deemed him the "revelation of the year." DJ Marky has just released his 'The Time Is Right' album, an immaculate 175BPM-fuelled offering that celebrates one of the scene's most passionate, charismatic, and loved mainstays of the past two decades.
