Marco Shuttle
Berlin and previously London based but born in Treviso, near Venice (Italy), Marco has been involved in the local underground club scene since he was 15, as a promoter and then as a DJ.
After travelling to London to gain his MA in Fashion design at St Martin’s, he became involved in London’s clubbing scene as a DJ. juggling between his designer career and his music.
Owing to his more visual background, he considers his musical style to be constructed with an aesthetic approach. He has been deeply inspired, besides the classic influences like Detroit Techno and electro, acid house, and electro by more abstract sounds, ranging from Spiritual jazz, noise, industrial, musique concrete, American minimalism, contemporary classic, and more.
His productions are usually very deep, abstract, atmospheric and often His cinematic techno sounds are unusually organic: they build pressure in subtle ways and his meticulous grooves never fail to take listeners on a trip to somewhere new and exciting.
After a couple of eps that gain him some recognition he released in January 2011, his true first breakthrough EP, ‘The Vox Attitude’
released on the Swedish label Vidd, and received enthusiastic reactions and widespread chart positions becoming an evergreen classic still being plaid extensively these days.
2012 saw the launch of his own label EERIE records on which after a few ep’s by himself and other artists he released at the end of 2014 his first LP Visione, which was very well received and prominently showed his more experimental side gaining him recognition also outside the techno circuit.
The album was followed by very productive series of successful singles (some of which like “Singing like bird” became timeless classics) on labels like Clone, The Bunker NY, Time to Express and Semantica.
His second LP, Systhema, which gained him further recognition and set another landmark in his career, was instead released in 2017 on Donato Dozzy’s and Neel’s label Spazio Disponibile where he also released 3 eps.
His latest endeavours resulted in his 3rd full length LP “Cobalt Desert Oasis” which came out in 2021 on the NY label Incienso run by Anthony Naples and Jenny Slattery. The album, which was broadly and very positively received “sets him farther from the ‘floor than ever, operating in a liminal shadow world of hazed hues threaded with steady but nervy lines of percussion that ground his signature cosmic vision” (Boomkat).
Marco Shuttle also built an as strong reputation as a dj during the years. Known for his very eclectic and experimental approach and his mesmerizing and narrative flow, he established himself as a very fine and respected (mostly vinyl) selector and making regular appearances for years in the most important underground clubs worldwide like Berghain, Fabric, Concrete, De School, Bassiani and in festivals like Labyrinth in Japan, Terraforma, Atonal and Movement in Detroit just to name a few.
His cinematic and atmospheric style also got him noticed outside of the electronic/techno circuit and in 2018 one of his tracks got picked as original score for the short movie “Bautismo” by Mauro Vecchi and was awarded as “Best Original Score” at “Roma Creative Contest”.
