From Brazil to the world, Marky has changed the landscape of drum & bass with his energetic repertoire and tight blends.
Today you also play with the DJ software Phase, right? Did you migrate from vinyl to Phase or was there a step in between?
"I used to play vinyls, and the new songs I wanted to play I ordered on dubplates. But dubplates are expensive, they are fragile and you need the right studio to make them. I was spending loads of money on this, so I gave Final Scratch a try. But it was awful, it had a lot of bugs. Shortly after, Serato was released. A friend of mine showed me and I saw that I could still play with turntables. Eventually, I migrated to Serato-only.
I've been playing with Phase for like three, four years. And Phase is a really good tool. I often play at stages where the booth monitors are not well regulated, and the stage trembles with the sound. So it's impossible to play with vinyl and regular turntables since the cartridge will tremble. That's a good thing about Phase: it reads the track straight from the computer. It's a great technology, essential for festivals and touring. But I prefer to play with vinyl."
