marius is a dance music producer from antwerp, born in the winter
of 1974. after he had a few years of classical piano education, he
started making his own compositions on his first synthesizer in
1989.
inspired by the funky grooves from babyface, bobby brown, teddy
riley, quincy jones, keith sweat and chaka khan he became a fan of
black music and danced to the hiphop of the early 90ies such as de
la soul, tribe called quest, dr dre, queen latifah, naughty by
nature and cypress hill.
in 1992 he got caught by the uplifting and mysterious vibes of the
underground house music scene in belgium. the key to this love
were radio shows like ôliaisons dangereusesö hosted by sven van
hees and ôrave radioö hosted by adam curry. his favourite club was
cafΘ dÆanvers.
marius was producing music in his bedroom until 1994. then he got
in touch with the mixz productions, who scored a major dance hit
with bb jerome and the bang gang. together they produced various
dance productions and remixes.
in 1997 marius studied at the national filmschool in brussels. it
was also in this year that he started buying vinyl and spinning
the weels of steel.
now he started to release his productions and remixes for labels
such as sony music, ars, zomba, universal, warner and wallyÆs
groove world. he made remixes for artists like an pierlΘ, wizards
of ooze, groove armada, sessomato and collaborates with a whole
bunch of people from the belgian scene such as dj koenie
(wgw-owner), geoffroy from food club (hi-phen) and rubba j.
his two releases on wgw ôplainsim epö and ôfresh and forward epö
have been remixed by freaks (aka luke solomon and justin harris)
and played by veterans like mateo & matos. his two side projects
are ôdeep waterö together with bass player rubba j and ômayakuö a
collective with koenie and rubba j.
after more than 2 years of continuously bringing the deep
flavoured house goodies on vinyl, marius presented his debut album
ôbalanceö on wallyÆs groove world in the summer of 2000. in this
year he also graduated as sound engineer.
the release of the mayaku album ôon the other side of the volcanoö
followed in the summer of 2002. this is a mixture of deephouse,
progressive and percussive techy tracks.
since 2003, mayaku also performs live on stage in various clubs
and festivals such as 10 days of techno, dour festival, arezzo
festival, cafΘ dÆanvers and lately even in kiev (ukra∩ne). for
these gigs mayaku is reinforced with percussion player nico
lombardo (lum recordings).
