   About DJ Marko
For the past 14 years MARKO has been the resident DJ for the legendary “La Rocca on Sunday “nights, a quite remarkable achievement. He’s been called a specialist by some and middle of the road by others..but everyone agrees : this guy’s got real talent and is a true professional . For years his name has appeared in the top 10 of the influential dance-music magazine “Outsoon” readers poll ( Belgian DJ’s ) , and in 2004 he was also voted Best Belgian Progressive DJ .
His main source of energy comes directly from the dance-floor..it’s feedback drives him on – he’s a past master at picking-up on it’s vibe and guiding it . Of course it helps that he has an amazing selection of vinyl, which he uses (like a master-chef uses his ingredients in the kitchen) to create an incredible atmosphere on the dance-floor.


BIOGRAPHY :


Marko’s career begins in the late eighties, playing at first for private/exclusive parties. Then in 1990 he gets into “house” and becomes a regular DJ at” The Vaudeville “(a major club in Brussels). His weekly sets give him the feel for playing to a young and flourishing underground movement. As more and more gigs come his way, his reputation grows and he soon becomes established as an important figure in the vibrant Belgian dance-music scene.
Sensing the winds of change and thanks to Eric Beysens ( AKA Eric Powa B ) , the legendary Belgian club “ La Rocca “ in Lier give Marko a musical ‘ carte blanche ‘ when they ask him to take-over their important Sunday night slot in 1992 . It was the beginning of an ongoing love-affair between Marko and an ever expanding dance-floor of devotees ; these open-ended sessions giving him the space and opportunity to play long sets evolving through different styles and sonic textures …… what an end to the week-end ! There are many world-class guest DJ’s that have appeared alongside Marko on these Sunday nights , such as : Michel De Hey , Charles Schillings , Blake Baxter , Andre Nalin , Trevor Rockcliffe , Sander Kleinenberg , David Morales , Oliver Moldan , Marcello , David Guetta , Felix Da Housecat , Dee-Nice , Sasha , Armin Van Buuren , Criss Source , Dr Kucho , Tiestö – besides all the top DJ’s from the Belgian scene .

But his career has not just revolved around his celebrated “La Rocca “Sunday sessions. Residencies at top clubs such as “ The Villa “ ( 94-96 ) and “ The Fuse “ ( 96-97 ) , made Marko a ‘ major player ‘ in Belgium’s clubbing scene . Not only that, he was getting involved with making tracks and mixing compilations (see discography). With his tireless enthusiasm and his obviously natural ability to DJ, Marko became greatly respected both as a human-being and as a DJ by professionals and public alike. Along the way he’s DJ’d at many massive events such as “ Rave Explosion , I love Techno , Impulz , Extrema , City Parade “ besides playing regularly at the major Belgian clubs ( eg Cherry Moon , Café d'Anvers , l’Extrême , Who’s Who’s Land , the Katsu ) . Not only that , he’s been playing frequently outside of Belgium ( eg Chemistry/Amsterdam , Pacha/Ibiza , K5/Ibiza , Space/Ibiza+Gran Canaria , Queen/Paris , 287/Paris , La Rocca Special/Manhattan , etc ) .

Within the format of a UK club – Progressive (at the Tour & Taxi site in Brussels) he was brought in to play alongside DJ’s such as Lucien Foort , Danny Howells , Ian Ossia from Renaissance , Cass and Lee Burridge in 1999 . In that same year he headlined at the La Rocca 10th anniversary party , playing to 10,000 revellers at the Sports Paleis in Antwerp ( an experience never to be forgotten ) – and when La Rocca went back there to celebrate the new Millenium he headlined in front of an ecstatic audience that had virtually doubled to 18,000 .
His passion for dance-music means that he’s one of the most ‘in-demand ‘DJ’s, regularly playing alongside top stars such as Carl Cox (in Warsaw Poland). Since 2000 he’s played gigs all over the European continent including the Folies Pigalle , Red Light and Montana clubs in France ; the very first Creamfields on the Baltic coast ; the Solar Festival ( Extrema ) ; the Heineken Dance Parade in Rotterdam ; Nature One .

Back in Belgium, Marko has often featured in important line-ups at gigs such as the House Torhout festival in 2001 and 2002, the Dance-a-Delic festival (several years), the White Sensation event at Antwerp and the Cruises to Pleasure boat parties. It is also worth mentioning his appearances at the huge City Parade on his very own trailer/float (in front of more than 180,000 dance fanatics) in 2001/2002/2003/2004 but especially in 2005, when he wound up the whole proceedings playing on the final trailer/float – then ending up on an awaiting City Parade stage to an incredible reception ……what a buzz!
In terms of releases, Marko has put together many compilations released on diverse labels of which 8 have been devoted to La Rocca. In the 90’s he remixed lots of tracks for labels such as: NEWS, Mackenzie, Bonzai and Tripomatic. In 2001 he produced “ Guitar Overload “ with Ton TB on Massive Drive Recordings and worked together with Pole Folder on several remixes including “ Inner Turmoil “ ( released by Bedrock Records ) . More recently he’s worked with Franky Jones ( Enterprise Records ) and released a self-penned track “ Dark Orgy “ and a re-working of “ Indian Preach “ . His latest release is titled “4.5 “and is a “Marko on Sundays “remix.

Marko is not particularly bothered about being ‘fashionable ‘or ‘trendy ‘. It’s not simply by chance that his career has flourished and that his following has grown almost beyond belief over the last 14 years. Marko’s obvious passion for Dj’ing is derived from the vibe he gets from the dance-floor as well as the vibe he gets from the music he plays: Marko plays from the heart!

JPLEMIX



BIOGRAPHIE DE MARKO LA ROCCA :


De nos jours, Marko est LE résident de La Rocca chaque dimanche et ce depuis 14 ans. Certains le disent grand public, d’autres le disent très spécialiste... mais tous reconnaissent le talent et le professionnalisme de Marko. En 2004, il fut élu « Best Progressive DJ » en Belgique et se retrouve depuis plusieurs années bien placé dans le Top 10 du « Best Belgian DJ » d’Outsoon. Le contact avec le public est sa première source d'énergie... un jeu qui fonctionne sur de la passion, une capacité à savoir observer et guider les foules, et surtout … une incroyable collection de disques magiques dont il se sert comme d'ingrédients culinaires pour développer les saveurs de nuits pétillantes.
Débutant dans des soirées privées à la fin des années 80, il se lancera dans la House en 1990 dans les murs d'une grande discothèque bruxelloise : le Vaudeville. Chaque semaine il y rencontre son premier public, dans l'effervescence underground d'un mouvement tout jeune. Quelques soirées indépendantes s'ajoutent à son tableau nocturne et déjà son nom devient une référence de fête qui en fait un personnage phare des nuits électroniques.
Dès 1992, sentant le vent venir et grâce à Eric Beysens (aka Eric Powa B), le légendaire club La Rocca situé à Lier (B) lui confie l'entière responsabilité musicale de ses dimanches. Ces fins de week-end allaient devenir sa résidence référencée pour plus de dix ans, lui permettant de cultiver un public fidèle et de proposer un mix évoluant sur une nuit entière au travers de plusieurs styles. Des invités y sont parfois conviés, tels Michel De Hey, Charles Schillings, Blake Baxter, Andre Nalin, Trevor Rockcliffe, Sander Kleinenberg , David Morales, Oliver Moldan, Marcello, David Guetta, Felix Da Housecat, Dee-Nice, Sasha, Armin Van Buuren, Criss Source, Dr Kucho ou Tiestö, sans compter les grands noms de la scène belge.

Mais résumer Marko uniquement à la Rocca serait un peu court, et ce serait faire l'impasse sur de belles pages de l'histoire du clubbing belge. Marko entra dans le team d’At the Villa où il mixa de 94 à 96. D'un naturel positif et enthousiaste, il était humainement aimé par les professionnels, et musicalement par les autres. Le temps de signer quelques compilations, il se lance dans une année de résidence au Fuse de Bruxelles en 96.
Depuis, il collectionne les sessions dans les Rave Explosion, I Love Techno, Impulz, Extrema, dans les plus grands clubs de Belgique comme le Cherry Moon, le Café d'Anvers, l’Extrême, le Who's Who's Land ou le Katsu. On l'entend aussi à l'étranger au Chemistry d'Amsterdam, au Pacha d'Ibiza, au K 5 toujours à Ibiza, tout comme aux deux Space... celui d'Ibiza et celui de Gran Canaria, mais encore à Paris au Queen et au 287, où bien à Manhattan quand la Rocca s'y déplaça.

Dans le cadre d'un club UK-Progressive à Bruxelles (au Tour& Taxi en 1999), il était amené à mixer aux côtés de Lucien Foort, Danny Howells, lan Ossia du 'Renaissance', Cass ou Lee Burridge. C'est aussi en 99 que la Rocca organisa la célébration de ses dix ans au Sportpaleis d'Anvers... plaçant Marko face à 10.000 party people survoltés. Une expérience marquante qui allait se reproduire avec un public quasiment doublé en nombre pour l'événement du Millenium : 18.000 personnes.

Tout contribue à dire qu'il est l'un des deejays les plus demandés par le public à qui il fait partager ses plaisirs électroniques. Depuis l'an 2000 se sont succédé des performances en France (Folies Pigalle, Red Light et Montana), en Pologne avec Carl Cox à Varsovie et la première CreamFields sur la côte Baltique. En Belgique, on le retrouvera aux festivals House- Torhout 2001 et 2002, plusieurs éditions de Dance-a-Delic, à la White Sensation à Anvers et sur le bateau des 'Cruises to Pleasure'. En Europe, il s’est produit au Solar Festival d’Extrema, aux Heineken Dance Parade de Rotterdam et à Nature One.
Comme évènement majeur il a participé à la CityParade 2001 à Liège et surtout celle de 2002, 2003 et 2004 où un camion entier le représentait parmi 31 chars au milieu de 180.000 jeunes. Il fut également sur le char de clôture lors de l'édition 2005 pour ensuite animer le stage qui lui était réservé. De beaux chiffres pour une émotion incomparable.

Sur le plan discographique, Marko est l'auteur de dizaines de compilations sur de nombreux labels dont huit éditions de la série consacrée à la Rocca. Durant les années 90, il a remixé nombre de titres inclus sur des vinyls pour plusieurs labels tel que : News rec., Mackenzie rec., Bonzaï et Tripomatic rec. En 2001, il réalisa avec Ton TB « Guitar Overload » sur Massive Drive Recording pour ensuite collaborer avec Pole Folder sur plusieurs remixes dont un paraitra sur Bedrock rec.( « Inner Turmoil »). Plus récemment, il répond au projet de Franky Jones (Enterprise Records) et signera la composition de « Dark Orgy » ainsi que le rework de « Indian Preach ». Il complètera son tour d’horizon sur Yéti rec. avec une dernière --uvre : « 4.5 » (Marko on Sundays rmx).

Marko se préoccupe peu d'être à la mode ou pas, quand le public vous suit depuis quatorze ans ce n'est pas une question de chance ou de vague passagère, c'est une question de passion, de symbiose avec le public et d'investissement personnel. Contre l'ennui, contre l'apathie, contre l'immobilisme, contre la banalité, pour la fête électronique: Marko, antidépresseur naturel depuis 1990.
