I am Techno

About Me

I was born and raised in the southern parts of Stockholm and got influences of electronic dance music from an early age, back in those days I was listening to a lot of different styles of music: Hip Hop, Disco, Funk and the early sounds of Techno Pop. In the late 80's I became quite into the sounds of House and Acid House, especially after listening a local radio show that was playing the latest dance music. I heard classic tracks like Stakkers "Humanoid" and "Can you feel it" by Mr. Fingers, it was about this time I really started collecting 12" records. If I should mention any artists that I have been influenced by I would say most of the legendary Detroit producers, people like Kevin Saunderson and Juan Atkins, Mr. Fingers, Robert Hood along with Europeans like Luke Slater with his fantastic Planetary Funk series on Peacefrog, Dave Clarke with the Red 1-3 Records and of course the electronic sounds from my home country. During the years I have been through all kinds of electronic music, and that also shows in the way that I spin. Mixing up Detroit Techno with minimal, Tech House, Acid House and other jacky electronic grooves. I try to see my sets as a musical story. I want to give the crowd music with soul, from my soul, not just playing like a machine. With many years of DJing behind me I have performed all around Sweden and other countries in Europe, like Bosnia, Denmark, Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, Slovenia and Spain. My music productions have been released on my own label Armalyte Records (RIP) and German labels like Thomas Schumachers Spiel-Zeug Schallplatten and Holzplatten . Other labels in the list is Mutual Solid Cuts , Omegaritam and Metapath Recordings . In the year 2007 a new label is born, run together with my good friend Johan Aftreglow. The name is "Afterglow & Stork" and the sound in Techno, straight up!LIVE DJ SETS with direct links // Marcus Stork @ Monday Bar XL - Sven Väth Stockholm 16.05.2007 Marcus Stork vs Bennie @ Old School Session Stockholm 12.05.2007 Marcus Stork @ Imago Stockholm 17.03.2007 Marcus Stork @ Culture Box Copenhagen 18.01.2007 Marcus Stork & Özgur Can @ Vardagsrummet Stockholm 29.09.2006 Marcus Stork @ Tribalism Stockholm 15.09.2006 Marcus Stork @ Yasta Club Madrid 11.11.2005 Marcus Stork @ DAF Barcelona 18.06.2005 Marcus Stork @ Total Dance Festival Stockholm 26.03.2005 Marcus Stork @ Svaj Bar Stockholm 14.01.2005 Marcus Stork @ Another Twisted Halloween Stockholm 01.11.2003RADIO & STUDIO DJ SETS with direct links // Marcus Stork @ The Strange World Of 12 Inches Jan 2007 Marcus Stork - Deep Dirty Summer 2006 Microfunk Sessions @ Sub 7 23.12.2005 Microfunk Sessions @ Sub 7 28.10.2005 Microfunk Sessions @ Sub 7 30.09.2005RELEASES // Groove System - Dope Rhythms EP (Armalyte 008 - Sweden) Marcus Stork & Eric Prydz - Bass-ism (Holzplatten 051 - Germany) Stork VS Prydz - Slam Funk (Armalyte 010-1 - Sweden) Hardform - Dirty Streets EP (Spiel-Zeug 023 - Germany) Marcus Stork - Last Departure (Holzplatten 78 - Germany) Marcus Stork & Sheridan - Deep Flavour (Omegaritam - Croatia) Marcus Stork - Hybrid City EP (Shareware 003 - Spain) Marcus Stork - Rhytmic State EP (Mutual Solid Cuts 003 - Spain) Marcus Stork - Stockholm Gringo (Metapath - Canada)UPCOMMING RELEASES // Afterglow & Stork 010 - Marcus Stork "The Inside" (incl.
