MARCO MALDARELLAMARCO MALDARELLA

At the edge of modern psychedelic techno and tribe infused music, Marco Maldarella dwells into bottomless

abyss with his fast paced sound signature. Marco brings the high definition IDM glitches and contemporary

left-field electronic music into a deep post tribe experience.

Always fascinated by visual arts combined with technology and leftfield music, his sound is characterized by

multiple recognizable influences that bridge contemporary music, organic sounds, monolithic almost primal

rhythms, and a focus on atmospheres, drones, and ephemeral voices to create synesthetic, tactile landascape

and a deeply psychoactive feeling.

Born in Bologna, in central-northern Italy, after a past in some bands of the hardcore and metal scene in his

youth as a front-man or guitarist, and later known as a graphic designer and visual artist, he approached electro-

nic music first from the compositional side. Collaborating with Christian Duka, he began releasing productions

under the name MARMO, a live-duo still active today, which has worked its way through various flavors of

electronic music that lie between ambient and dance music, arriving at the definition of their singular aesthetic.

With a focus on live music, the duo works on productions for audio-video performances as well as live shows in

European clubs. Meanwhile, Marco, in his personal artistic pursuit, handles the graphic direction for a series of

local events. He also collaborates with international artists and labels, initially curating selections that blend the

sounds of hypnotic techno with UK breakbeat and off-kilter sounds, and later exploring rhythms and

progressions closer to a trance oriented sound

Collaborating with Abo (co-owner of De Rio label) and Amanita Pakchoyy (Berlin based multidisciplinary artist)

he started a touring series of events called Sinestesie, with a monthly residency at Radio Raheem (Milan).

Waiting for his debut solo EP on Omen Wapta, he released on various artist by Materica Records, and Suburban

Avenue, worked on soundtracks for independent film shorts and some live visual shows like Ambivalen+ London,

Artfutura, Xolo and Spektrum Berlin.

In Marco’s productions, you will find the rhythmic and unpredictable chaotic tale of the atomic fall towards
