Brazilian D&B legend, DJ Marky in Cape Town Next Weekend
CAPE
TOWN. On Friday 8 August, Brazilian drum and bass legend, DJ Marky will play
one of only two shows in the country presented by Red Bull Studios at the
Assembly in Cape Town.
In
a career that extends well over two decades, São Paulo based Marco Antonio
Silva AKA DJ Marky has gone from a fanatical record collector and music lover
in his native Brazil to an internationally revered DJ, producer and label
owner.
A
veritable superstar in his Brazilian homeland since the early 90s, he claimed
several DJ Of The Year awards there before the end of the century.
After
visiting London around 1998 he quickly picked up residencies at The End and
Club Movement. Linking in with the likes
of Goldie and DJ Hype, combined with his work at BBC Radio 1 saw him move
quickly to the top of the UK scene and beyond.
The
release of his Brazilian Job album in 2001 was one of the biggest selling drum
& bass compilations of all time, with ‘LK’, produced by Marky and XRS
reaching number 15 in the UK charts and getting him a spot on Top Of The Pops.
From
igniting dancefloors across the globe to releasing some of the most influential
drum and bass tracks ever to see wax, he continues to add to his impressive
list of achievements - all driven by his dedication, jaw-dropping technical
skills and inimitable Brazilian flair.
DJ Marky will be supported by some of South
Africa's leading drum & bass artists as well as The Insiders (UK).
This week, DJ Mag UK highlighted LK as one of
the tracks that changed the game for Electronic Music - check out DJ Marky's
interview about the producing the track, the Drum & Bass Scene at the time
and his love for all music. Watch the video here:
