About Me
Marko Peraica a.k.a The Oracle, began his musical journey long ago. Being professionally trained at a young age on a variety of instruments, music was something he was destined to spend the rest of his life doing. Growing up in the late 80's and early 90's he was exposed to so much music. At that time there was allot of music that was starting to form its own personality and he just felt the need to embrace it whether it was, heavy metal, hip-hop, funk, house, or jungle. From there is where he felt the need to be part of what was out there. "i saw and heard all this music and i knew that all i wanted to be was a rockstar". In 1995/96 he started going to various rave parties where he became exposed to the underground scene. The following year he began djing, and in 1998 started promoting parties with various production groups in Chicago, which led to more gigs as a dj. In 2000 Marko became a resident dj on the Jungle Warfare show which had ran for over a year and a half. Also in 2000 with no sight of things slowing down, but only getting bigger, marko co-created Better Beat Specialists, a production group which focused primarily on events, djing, and electronic music. In 2002 Marko took a break to pursue other musical interests to only see him come back in the winter of 2003, pushing harder than ever Drum and Bass, and its stateside scene. In 2004 Marko was picked up by two of Chicago's biggest DNB labels, Sur America Records and Combat Records, and shortly there after along with Alfonz De La Mota embarked on the Chicago Sol Tour. That same year after watching DNB become stagnant in his local scene, Marko along with Dj Addyct went on to create Beatdown Chicago, a weekly Drum and Bass night, which received acclaim in Rinse Magazine as well as Full Throttle Events. In 2006 Marko, along with 15 other Chicago junglists was born the M.I.A, a group of self motivated dj/producers with a passion for the hard side of DnB. The M.I.A in their short time have done countless events from raves to club events, and have released a large body of music aimed for members only. Marko has played coast to coast alongside some of the biggest names in the business such as X-cutioners, Jazzy Jeff, Evol Intent, Dj Craze. Tech Itch, Dieselboy, Psidream, Ewun, Mayhem, Gein and Christopher Lawrence just to name a few. Currently Marko is splitting his time touring and working on production. So be on the lookout for releases from The Oracle late this year as well as him rocking a venue near you.
