About Me


Dj Marvel's musical background stretches out widely, covering the fields of academic & conservatory level musical studies in jazz piano and harmony as well as an enourmous love for electronic music, contemporary composition and film music. He has studied saxophone at a very young age, started playing the guitar at the age of 11 and started studying classical piano at the age of 15. Somewhere around 13-14years old, he got in touch with the Belgian and UK dnb scenes and finally gave in to a longtime fascination for turntablism and started dj'ing. Marvel has already got a brief history in the belgian drumnbass scene under the alias of Soddom, under which he started producing electronic music and started dj'ing at drumnbass parties around Belgium. The vibe back then was raw, dark and hard. Nowadays Marvel is known for his variety in sounds and styles covered by rich harmonies and musically challenging atmospheres.
Instruments played: Guitars, Saxophone, Piano/Keys
