Dutchman Marco V started to spin records at the age of 14, three years before pitch controls were first introduced to turntables. By 1996 Marco was installed as the resident of 'De Danssalon', the biggest club in Eindhoven, presenting him with the opportunity to showcase his undoubted talents to the rest of his country.

Marco has the extreme talents and unique ability to lead the forefront of the tech trance movement; producing and spinning classy, hard edged dance music, set to stand the test of time. His style appeals to and compels followers of techno, trance and even hard house, transcending the politics and dogma that has polluted some sectors of the dance music scene.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marco v has been around for many years, as an inventive, style-blending deejay and a successful and devoted producer. Keywords in both careers have always been; energetic, crowdpleasing and high-quality.

Even though he has played in very differing locations, and with house-music constantly changing shape, marco succeeded to create a geniune `marco v` sound, easily recognisable by its constant drive and uplifting melodies. People love him for it and he never leaves the dancefloor empty. Being a deejay as well as a very productive producer seems like an exhausting job, but he does it smiling. "I can get pretty tired sometimes, but the sound of a cheering audience always gets me through." And that`s exactly what they do, cheer. No matter if it`s a huge event such as Sensation, DanceValley or Global Gathering, or a regular party at a club. "The audience is always my first concern. If the music is great, but the party isn`t happening, something is definitely going wrong. I try to prove that it is possible to create a happy atmosphere with quality music. It is not the easiest way to play, but it has kept me around for all these years."
And he intents to stay around for some more, his latest projects being mixed compilations for both GateCrasher(UK) and Guvernment(CA). These are not his first. He for instance compiled and mixed Innercity 2000 and 2002 and his own artist-profile compilation will be released early 2004. "It never completely captures the magic of a deejay-set, but it is a great way to be exposed to a larger audience."

>another way to get this exposure is producing. Marco knows all about this. His career got an enormous boost after the release of "Godd" and "Simulated", which were both big successes in clubs worldwide. They paved the way for his first album called "Con:Fusion" which was released in 2002 and was awarded "best dance artist album" at the BBM dance awards that year. His version of the house classic `Loops`n`Tings` will also be released soon (Marco V vs Jens).
