It's not easy to describe the sound of Broombeck, or even to put it into one genre. It's influenced by his background of different styles of music, combined with percussive grooves, deep bass lines, huge breakdowns and a lot of experimental sounds - it's like a composition of various music genres that are combined to create a new track.
In 2009 Marcus started to introduce Broombeck live at selected clubs like Cocoon in Frankfurt or Berghain in Berlin.
His deep understanding of music, let him create an atmosphere and Live act that Sébastien Léger commented with the words: “Broombeck's live shows are incredible. Proper techno.” (DJ Mag)
