Marflix

Fascinated by 80s Funk basslines and cheapass 90s Club piano sounds, Marflix - a brassist, keys and bass player of a local Jazz Big Band from the bottom of the Black Forest, started DJing in 1995. On the wheels of steel all good music which had deep basslines, driving snares and some brass: like Dancehall-Reggae, Soca, Funk and HipHop.
From 97 till 2001 he was rolling with Raoul aka Shogun as BeatCamp - a soundsystem style crew focused on dancehall, soca and remixes.

After a trip to Trinidad & Tobago he completely fell in love with the positive sound of the Caribbean Carnival - Soca, Calypso and Steel Pan. And di iron. And di parang. The mission was clear: in 2003 his label and store Faluma was founded to push the music in Europe and release music from islands which is worth to be listened worldwide.
In the same year the internet's first weekly Soca/Caribbean/plus radio show/podcast Mashup Show Plus started and is running since then.

You can find Marflix travelling with a crate full of Soca, Club, Baile Funk and Zouk somewhere on the Autobahn or you might meet him at the coffee shop of your favourite airport. He might not come alone - teamed up with the infamous MashUp Crew or Tim Turbo.
Also DJ and tour manager for HipHop artists like Defari, Rasco, Souls of Mischief, Guru, Bahamadia and more..

"Mit einer Menge Soca (der Musik des karibischen Carnivals) im Gepäck in Europa, Japan und der Karibik unterwegs. Extrem tanzbarer Stilmix aus Soca, Bailefunk und Reggaeton, mit den Basslines von Grime und HipHop auf Clubniveau tiefergelegt." (luftbad.at)

“Thanks to its many faces, soca can break into more mainstream oriented markets like hiphop, dancehall, or r&b. Even club/house is a good option, as you can see now with the collaboration of Bob Sinclair and Trinidad’s Fireball." (Marflix interviewed by Nation Groove Barbados)
