    the whole biography
    Over twenty years later and Marco is still one of the most respected artists amongst the techno scene, widely regarded as one of the key factors in driving the genre towards worldwide recognition within electronic music. As a revered producer and successful label head, Marco has spearheaded imprints such as Design Music, Zenit, Question, One Thousands and Do.Mi.No whilst releasing music on a selection of the world’s finest labels such as Minus, Plus 8 2M and Primate Recordings. In addition to five critically acclaimed albums, including his most recent Play It Loud, Marco has also been responsible for a clutch of seminal mix compilations. In 2006, his mix for legendary London club Fabric’s series was a lesson in sleek, future-facing minimalism. That was followed up by well received compilations for Time Warp in 2009. In 2010 Cocoon label boss Sven Väth asked him to mix the Frankfurt based label’s Party Animals CD alongside Nick Curly, which took Carola's dj taste and skills to new heights. Famed for his energetic and impressive three-deck style of mixing and long journey set, Marco has remained one of the most in demand DJs on the planet throughout the last two decades. Favoring mammoth eight hour plus sets, Marco is predisposed to a subtle working of the crowd that has made him a favorite among fans from Ibiza to New York, South America and beyond.

    the whole biography
    Ben Sterling (Planet X) UK favorite Ben Sterling is an artist on the brink of a major breakout, transcending the 'rising act' label that followed him throughout his early career and coming into his own as an internationally renowned name in his own right. Hailing from London, Ben has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting and versatile names in the electronic circuit. As the label boss at Planet X, Ben is not only shaping his own take on contemporary house music but also crafting a unique identity that resonates on a global scale. With a string of impressive early releases via leading labels, 2022 marked a pivotal year in Ben's career, with his electrifying remix of Tiga's iconic 'Mind Dimension' propelling him to the forefront of the international scene. The remix quickly became one of the most celebrated records of the year, solidifying his reputation as a creative force in the industry, and serving as a testament to Ben's ability to blend innovation with his deep-seated roots in the UK's vibrant electronic scene. Ben's production work has reached new heights over recent years, with releases on iconic labels like Diynamic and Crosstown Rebels, while maintaining a strong connection to the UK. His material on legendary imprints such as Bushwacka!'s OBLONG and current powerhouses such as Solid Grooves demonstrate his commitment to honoring the foundational sounds that have shaped him. His early influences, including the seminal tech house sounds of Housey Doingz and pioneers such as Terry Francis and Nathan Coles, and the dynamic world of electro-dance music, continue to inform his evolving style. In addition to his production success, Ben's Planet X record label and event series have become cornerstones of his artistic vision. With future evolutions of the events in the works, leaning towards conceptual experiences, the project reflects Ben's forward-thinking approach to music and live performances, while honoring the white label and edits ecosystem with his sub-imprint, X-Files. A regular fixture in Ibiza's elite club circuit, Ben has become a mainstay at events like Solid Grooves, Paradise, and Music On. His ability to adapt and thrive in diverse musical environments has seen him share the decks with a wealth of industry heavyweights, showcasing his ever-increasing versatility as a DJ. Characterized by his passion for record digging, ensuring that his performances are always fresh, his sets remain rooted in a deep understanding of dance music history. A regular at the likes of Club Space and DC10, Ben's presence extends beyond the club scene to some of the world's leading festivals, including Coachella, Sunwaves, EDC Las Vegas and Baum Festival, to name a few. As Ben continues to push the boundaries of his sound and expand his influence, he is undoubtedly an artist on the cusp of something big. With a keen eye on the future and a firm grasp on his heritage, the UK favorite looks set to leave an indelible mark on the electronic music landscape, while furthering his reputation as a global player on his own path.
