DJ Marky began making a name for himself in the early 90's pioneering the sounds of UK Drum & Bass/Jungle, appealing to lovers of dance music of all styles for his sheer artistry on a pair of Technics 1210's.

In 94/95 Jungle became popular in Brasil and DJ Marky emerged as one of Brasil’s leading DJs of this new exciting scene.

He stopped working at record shop, Up Dance Records, moving on to a high profile residency at the then legendary Toca club (rammed every week with 5000 clubbers, but now shut). Marky had radio shows on various stations both mainstream and underground, and his success at that time culminated in the mid-90’s with a massive drum & bass/jungle compilation released on UK’s Suburban Base Records. Marky was awarded DJ of the year in Brasil in 95 and 96 and was runner up in 98.

DJ Marky is undoubtedly one of the most exciting DJs to emerge in the drum & bass world in the last few years. With his phenomenal technical skills and Brazilian flair, his enthusiasm and dedication and the effort he puts into his sets he has impressed clubbers and music industry alike. As V recordings label boss Bryan Gee said of his discovery: DJ Marky is one of the biggest talents I’ve seen for years!
