It was the beginning of the 90’s that Marc Vasquez was infected by electronic music through long-time friend Stefan Zander, who was one of the pioneers in electronic music for the rhein-neckar-delta. he worked in the famous record store in Heidelberg called humpy-records, Germany. with whom he recorded his first tracks and which was released on a Techno Trax Compilation, distributed by ZYX Records Germany.
Propelled by this experience, he immediately gained recognition as DJ in the Rhein-Neckar-Delta, driving home the new 90’s sound of Technotrance at several events. Bookings for bigger events followed, several in cooperation with national artists. 1994 he became house resident at an small house Club called “XITâ€, with his partner in crime Simon Petter aka Fedyh Rotan, with whom he rocked the house every Thursday night, dusk to dawn.
As consequence from this positive collaboration, Marc began working more with other DJs and Producers in the area, which resulted in an engagement in his second resident club, the “Untere Etage†(“Bottom Loftâ€) in Heidelberg. The contacts made there to the Techno scene helped him to develop his talents and to continue pushing his musical career he already had successfully begun. At the turn of the millennium, Marc (re-)discovered his love for radio, and through his connections with the guys of the club and scene guide Klangterrorist.de, he came to play at the radio station Bermuda Funk in Mannheim in 2003. Here he soon became part of the returning line-up, and also later took over the role of being responsible for national & international bookings such as Massimo Vivona, Dj T, Cari Lekebush und andere.
Something like a veteran of music, Marc Vasquez has now been over 15 years in the vinyl business. He was one of the first to introduce house music – probably today the most dominant sound of club music worldwide - to the German dance floor. Secretly and unexpected to listeners, he brought along the first records to Germany from trips to London in the late 80’s, where at the time Acid House had already conquered the British turntables.
His sound established as DJ. Now he became more active as producer to explain his personal interpretations of electronic style. sometimes totally apart of his normally house roots which will consequently result in his first full lengh downtempo album. due out in the autumn of 2007 on the small independent label ffattire records, which he started together with Richard Kelsey in 2005, and which has since then built up a fair-sized roster of releases and new acts.
