Marco Zaffarano

About Me

In 1987 Marco first came into contact with acid music in a dance school in Stuttgart, where he had his first gigs. Techno had not yet been heard of, so Marco his first records were a concoction of all kinds of musical directions of the time. Infected by this electronic music, he looked for a suitable club after the end of his dance school-era, where he could exclusively play techno music.He immediately found a resident location in Stuttgarts cult club, Oz in 1990. At this time, Marco also began producing his own tracks. When he gave Sven Vaeth a demo tape at one of his gigs at the Oz in 1992, he was called back the very next day. There followed five singles and the Minimalism EP series I-IV on Sven Vaeths Harthouse label, all of which were produced together with Juergen Kreschel between 1991 and 1994. Naturally, the increasing number of releases on the cult Frankfurt label also increased demand for his DJ- sets.After three years, Marco ended his Resident job at the legendary Oz. From 1993 onwards, he took to the international stage, whilst in Germany, regular major events such as Mayday IV and the Universe/Tribal Gathering were also on his program. In mid-1995, Marco switched to a new record label and a new producing partner, Ben Elvis Mettin (aka MikeroBenics). The very first single, - Pandoras box - was a success for Marco and MFS/ Berlin.The following concept album - He was once a beautiful woman - in 1996 was given top reviews, especially in England, where it was licensed by Silver Planet. Everything revolved around the theme of a circus. From the trapeze artist to the snake woman, the tent-spectacles main characters were all characterized by the music. It is a timeless concept album.In 1998, the double CD - Minimalism - was released. The first CD included ten new tracks, whilst the second CD was like a - best of - with all the Zaffarano- Harthouse productions from 1992 to 1995.
