Marcos in Dub [Highgrade Records, Germany]
'Radar' is a new series of posts where I will feature different artists which are popping up on my radar at that point of time. I'll include some background on the artist, photos, videos, mixes & will post as many free tracks of there's I can as possible (usually just from their soundcloud). So chuck on one of Marcus InDub's mixes below, have a read and treat yourself to some truly dope music from one boss lookin' homie.
Born and raised in Madrid, Marcos In Dub has become one the most influential dj’s in the Spanish electronic scene. His musical background comes from the late nineties, focused in Hip Hop and breaks in any form, from dubby to drummy beats. Soon after, he discovered House and Techno, being those styles the key of his sound nowadays. After developing his skills in small clubs and local radio stations like Ibiza Sonica, he decides to take one step further going deeper into music production, releasing in many digital labels from across the globe under his own name and sharing project with David Ponziano as the former duo Play the Game.
But the big moment comes when he’s chosen as resident at the “infamous” Goa parties in Madrid, probably the most celebrated session in Spain, giving him the chance to regularly share booth with the best electronic music performers worldwide. As well as heading the session at Weekend club, the oldest Sunday session in the city.
This steps opened new doors and soon he starts to work in bigger clubs and events all over the country and abroad, playing @ Watergate, Panorama, Ritter Butzke (as part of Highgrade’s “Group of Connected Heads”) or Arena club in Berlin or 1001 club in London. He’s working also promoting the Himmel Bar, a new deep-house arty proposal in Madrid for early birds. Now Marcos has his own space in the Spanish scene, working non-stop in the best clubs and events as one of the most popular dj’s among the crowd in Spain.
So watch out for new and exciting releases from this all road selector. He will for sure continue releasing stuff on Monofunk and Highgrade and also developing his new dub techno moniker „Rooteo“, focused in the deepest side of club music.
He also keeps developing his studio skills, receiving awesome feedbacks from dj’s such as Laurent Garnier, Karotte or Damian Lazarus to name but a few. In 2010 he released his first EP under the Monofunk brand: Kaos. It has not been the last, and since then Marcos has seen his Secret Society, Gin Tonic, and Dub in Chicago EP’s released in the same label, and many other labels have shown interest in including in Dub’s hits for compilation or as a remix.
