The Art of DJing - DJ Marky: Using the stroboscopic dots and the needle to create sound
From Brazil to the world, Marky has changed the landscape of drum & bass with his energetic repertoire and tight blends.
How did you start DJing?
"I started really young. I wanted to be a drummer. My father was a musician. He used to play guitar, bass, banjo and he was old school. He used to tell me: "If you want to learn, learn it by yourself." I wanted to be a drummer since I saw the music video for "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" by The Police. I always thought the fusion of reggae and rock by The Police was amazing. I've seen this also with the Brazilian group Paralamas do Sucesso. I always thought that the Paralamas' drummer, João Barone, was the Brazilian Stewart Copeland.
Anyways, soon I realized I couldn't become a drummer myself because my mother had no money and it would take me a while to make it a job and get my own money. But I had a lot of vinyl records. My friends used to ask for toys as presents, and I would ask for records. It was 1983 when a friend of mine told me, "The thing now is to be a DJ." I was like, "What's that?" And he said: "You have to overlap tracks." He had a Philips turntable, and eventually, he gave it to me."
