Marco V

Bio of: Marco V

Having been at the forefront of the global techno trance movement for more than two decades now, Marco V’s indisputable position at the helm of the techier side of Dutch dance music continues to soar. Exploding across the burgeoning scene on both homeland and international levels, back in the day Marco’s Southside Spinners project – together with Benjamin Bates – propelled the successfully acquired taste of ‘Luvstruck’ onto the radars of those who mattered, sparking a wave of interest surrounding his name.

This, and later releases like ‘Simulated’ and ‘Godd’ were a pinpoint commission that led to inspire a new generation of DJ/Producers. Always striving to perfect his sound, Marco released a string of genre-blending tracks like ‘False Light’, ‘del*.mp3’ ,’Avalon’ ,’Unprepared’ and ’My Trip’ that cemented his status as one of the global forces in dance music. Releasing his most recent melodic firearm “CIDOLEM” as a collab with his son Thomas Newson via Epic247 Recordings. As supported live by Armin van Buuren, Ruben de Ronde, Ferry Corsten and Laura van Dam.

As a remixer in constant demand, he has reworked music from some of the biggest names in the music industry; artists that include Madonna, Nicole Scherzinger, 50 Cent, James Blunt, and big classic dance hits like Cafe del Mar, The Age of Love, Papua New Guinea and Loops’n’Tings.

Releasing music on his own In Charge imprint as well as some of the industry’s most prestigious and go-to labels like Armada and Spinnin’ Recordings, Marco’s festival history proves equally as impressive as he ticks off Mysteryland, Tomorrowland, Global Gathering, Sensation, Creamfelds, Dance Valley, Mayday, Kazantip and Ultra Music Festival Miami to his endless and impressive achievements.

In 2020 Marco started working on his new VISION 20/20 project, going back to the roots of the techno trance sound he has helped shape since the late nineties. Taking the main elements from those early records, slowing everything down a few BPM and approaching the production process with a newfound ‘less is more’ attitude. Tracks like ‘ME/AN’, ‘WA/VE’ and ‘What you NE/ED’ have already been picked up by a host of todays frontline DJs and are widely considered to be yet another innovative move into new realms from this boundary pushing pioneer.
