We ring in 19 years of doing our thing with a long-time favourite for all of us at Crilli HQ, and one of the most vibrant characters on the international DJ circuit. All the way from Brazil, it's DJ Marky!
Hailing from Sao Paulo, Marky is the spearhead of a Brazilan drum and bass movement which first rose to popularity in the early 2000s. He was already a well-established touring DJ when “LK (Carolina Carol Bela)” made dancefloors smile ear to ear with it’s infectious, feel-good latin guitar hook. The track peaked at number 17 in the UK charts and is a standout moment in DNB’s history books, spawning a whole wave of samba sampling DNB in the process.
Marky is regarded by many as dnb’s true showman. When he steps behind the decks he has a smile and larger-than-life stage presence that can light up any room. Someone with a fierce reputation on the Technics 1210s, he is renowned for his dizzying scratch routines and turntable party tricks alongside killer selections. His reputation extends well beyond the dnb confines as a cult favourite across the wider clubbing world. Not many dnb DJs get to share a stage with French house legend Laurent Garnier, after all.
Reaching almost 30 years in the business, Marky continues to release, collaborate and tour the world, spreading that liquid sunshine wherever he goes. He’s a regular collaborator with the likes of Makoto, S.P.Y. and Pola & Bryson, with close allies in everyone from V Recordings main man Bryan Gee to Belfast hero Calibre. Essentially, if there’s a big new tune around, Marky is going to have it.
We can’t think of a better way to celebrate our birthday than by bringing the latin heat to Belfast for a night of musical sunshine and good vibes. We’d love you all to be there and quite frankly you’d be mad to miss this one.
