Profile | Marco Bernardi

A lot of great music has been created in the most unlikely of places. However, it's still hard to believe that DJ Magazine's 2007 Album of the Year winner wrote and produced his seminal '2fiveonine' work in the cramped twenty four hour darkness of a north Glasgow loft space.

Acclaimed Glasgow producer Marco Bernardi has made a name for himself through his association with pioneering Rotterdam label Clone. His releases on the affiliated Frustrated Funk, Frantic Flowers and DUB labels have cemented his credentials as part of the new breed of electro-tech manipulators. Prior to working with Clone he released on Tom Churchill’s Emoticon imprint, and Jason Brunton's Iridite label.

You could be forgiven for confusing Marco's dedication with a borderline OCD, but it's his passion for music and incredible attention to detail that makes him such a unique individual. If sleep wasn't a consideration, you would find him in front of his desk working away on new material 24/7.

Whilst best known for the jacking electro he normally produces under his own name, his most recent output (as Octogen) on the Soma label is more melodic and techno orientated. Marco is also an established studio engineer, collaborating with and remixing for a number of other artists.

We look forward to Marco's forthcoming album right here on Antimatter....
