In a career spanning a quarter of a century, DJ Marky has gone from party boy and avid vinyl collector to internationally respected DJ and producer, head of his own label Innerground Records and organizer of signature events under the "DJ Marky & Friends" banner.
Sao Paolo native Marco Antonio da Silva, because he hides under the pseudonym DJ Marky, is widely regarded as one of the best drum & bass DJs. The Brazilian mixes sensationally, has an exquisite selection and is excellent at scratching - he can even do it while holding an upside-down turntable!
However, it's not the eccentric tricks that attract the attention of his fans - DJ Marky is a very talented producer. His credits include the drum and bass hits "LK" and "Só Tinha Que Ser Com Você," recorded together with his close collaborator DJ Patife. The Brazilian is musically erudite - he can also play a set in the style of disco or electro funk, and samples samba and bossa nova in his productions.
DJ Marky has released two original albums - the latest release, "The Time Is Right," came out in 2023. The Brazilian has also released a mix as part of the Fabriclive series and this year presented his selection as part of the iconic Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1.
