ABOUT
Marc Monka, a DJ and producer based in Barcelona, Spain, began his musical journey in the underground techno scene in 2005, where he first fell in love with the hypnotic rhythms and pulsating beats that define the genre. His early years were spent perfecting his craft behind the decks, learning to manipulate sound and create immersive experiences for the dance floor. This period of discovery and growth laid the foundation for his deep connection to techno, a genre that has always been at the core of his artistic identity.
In 2013, he burst onto the DJ scene, quickly making a name for himself as a versatile and dynamic performer, delivering some extraordinary multigenre sets in festivals around Spain. His unique blend of freestyle, turntablism, and electronic music set him apart. Each performance was a journey through sound, demonstrating his passion for music and his desire to connect with audiences on a deeper level.
In 2017, Marc took his passion for music to the next level by entering the recording studio and delving into electronic music production. Inspired by his experiences as a DJ, he began crafting his own music and producing tracks for other artists. This new venture allowed him to explore the full spectrum of electronic music, from intense beats to intricate soundscapes.
His production career gained momentum in 2019, and he quickly established himself as a skilled producer and sound designer. However, like many artists, the pandemic presented new challenges and forced him to adapt. He turned to teaching, hosting private music production classes which included lessons on sound design and creating successful sound design tutorials on YouTube. This period of introspection and growth allowed him to refine his skills and expand his creative horizons.
Now, as the world is still emerging from the shadows of the pandemic, Marc is returning to his roots with a renewed focus on techno. This genre, which ignited his passion for music in the first place, calls to him more strongly than ever. With a subtle shift in his name from Monka to Marc Monka, he aims to reflect this return to the essence of who he is as an artist. Techno is not just a genre for him; it is a fundamental part of his musical soul.
Marc Monka is excited to share his new vision, bringing all the richness of his past experiences into the techno scene. Each beat, each melody, and each performance is a tribute to his growth as an artist and his unwavering dedication to electronic music.
