I first met Marco in 2012, when he came to London to play at a party for my flatmate James. He also played his first (of many) Boiler Room’s on the same trip. Just clocked that he is playing CD’s which is a nice detail that illustrates how much has changed since. As a result, it’s been really exciting to have felt being on the Young Marco ride from the early days and I’ve followed what he’s been up to with great excitement. He’s been reliably consistent with his productions and his DJ’ing seems to naturally evolve, avoiding being stuck within certain sounds or scenes. He had a huge moment at Dekmantel in 2022 which was a proper buzz to experience as a fan and brought his talents to a whole new audience. I’ve been hoping to arrange a chat with him for a while and the stars aligned on his most recent visit to Glasgow before a sold out Berkeley Suite, followed by a romantic DJ lunch the next day.
