The Honeysuckle Breeze - DJ Marky,
The world's #1 drum & bass DJ showcases all his influences for the first time, being it Brazilian Jazz, '70s Soul, Funk, Disco, '80s two step boogie and through to what he's most known for Drum & Bass... DJ Marky... more » is regarded as a Drum 'n' Bass innovator and was discovered by English DJ Bryan Gee, who saw Marky playing in a club in São Paulo in 1998. Amazed by DJ Marky's scratch skills, he invited him to play in London. Marky got started in Drum & Bass in 1992, choosing a more hardcore edge, but the small audiences nearly caused him to give up.

CD Reviews
Tasteful selection for the "matured" dance music fan...

"Marky is yet another vessel to share with all of us what can come musical melting pot of Brazil. I've followed this guy since sometime 2005 after hearing him play a very solid and memorable drum and bass set at the now-defunct Capital Ballroom in DC. After doing some more research on him and checking out his podcasts (see his website), he actually plays far more than just DnB. This set reflects the musical platform from which he extends. He touches the following genres on this: bossa nova; jazz; jazz-funk; soul; boogie; house; nu-soul; disco; drum and bass. As I've been actively listening to dance music since about 1992, I've grown to appreciate more diverse selections. It's nice to hear someone who is so talented and revered in one format be able to tastefully deliver a genre-busting set of good music.
My faves featured on this set? These Eyes - The Guess Who | Sambalanco Trio - Sambinha | The Style Council - The Lodgers
