If you were to define the term ‘dance music purist’, you’d take into consideration a number of factors... knowledge, passion and substance. Combine them together and you get Marco V. Like many of the world’s superstar DJs Marco was born and bred in Holland. He is a modest and down to earth family man with an undying lust for music. Entrenched in the scene from an early age, it was clear right from the start which path Marco would take.The rest as they say is dance music history, but a history that Marco has not only shaped but continues to re-define with every thought out move. Few DJs have done more than Marco V to draw new talent into the dance music vortex. Whilst inspiring new producers, he has also been described as the DJ’s DJ with many of his colleagues closing following what he does both in the studio and behind the decks – this is testament to his impeccable taste, and unrivalled talent.
Benjamin Bates is jumping for joy on the cover of his new CD Recyclomania. And rightfully so! His second album is a personal document that successfully evokes a variety of moods, ranging from ecstasy on the first single ‘On My Feet’, melancholy in opening track ‘Note To Self 1’ and desperation in ‘Forever Running’. As Bates explains: “Music should conjure up certain emotions and for me the easiest way to achieve that is to record music that has that same effect on me when I listen to it myself.” Bates wrote, arranged, played, sang, produced and mixed the entire album himself with his production partner in crime, Marco V. The title of the album, Recyclomania, refers to the habit of recycling music. Nowadays, many dance hits are based on samples of old hit singles.
