My name's Marc and I am currently 22 years old. I'm a spanish DJ and music producer from Valencia.
Three years ago, I started my training in the world of production at an academy in Valencia called Millenia. Until then, I had never opened any DAW, but thanks to my piano studies, they probably helped me to go a little faster.
I started producing EDM, but I was lucky to meet a great tech house lover in class. Thanks to his influences on a daily basis, and also coinciding with Wade's boom, I became very interested in tech house.
The same friend who recommended Tití Me Preguntó also did so when the Bizarrap session with Residente came out. There is a big difference between these two productions, as it was clear to me that "Pa Divertirme" was going to be focused on a "Original Mix".
At first it didn't convince me, but after testing a couple of possibilities, it has turned out to be a track that works.
I usually have an idea in my head before I start production. First I create the groove and when I have something consistent, I test it with the main hook.
It depends on how complex the idea is. There are tracks that have worked really well for me and I've done them in two afternoons and others that I've needed a lot of time to put together a solid question and answer. That's something that recognizes my productions.
I love the Littlealterboy from Soundtoys.
Probably the one that fits my style the most would be Cloonee, but I would also be very excited about working with Wade and Michael Bibi. I'm nervous about the end of the year, there's a release coming from a very top label, I'm really looking forward to it. I'll be announcing it on my social networks soon, so stay tuned.
I also have concerts with great artists that I've admired for a long time, it's going to be a fun end of the year.
On the other hand, this 2023 is going to be very special, I have a lot of music already signed, with great collaborations with artists that I respect a lot.
Finally, I would like to thank the Phantom Sounds team for thinking of me. See you on the dance floor.
