Biography of Marco Carola
Born in Naples on February 7, 1975, Marco Carola has emerged in the last four years as one of the city's most influential exponents of Techno and electronic music.
Growing up in the Neapolitan sunshine, by the age of 13 he got behind the skins of his first drum kit which he played for several years before ultimately being addicted to buying and playing records. In 1990, when the Italian House scene was enjoying its golden age alongside the madness of Acid House, Carola`s drum kit was rapidly replaced by a two record player set and a mixer whereupon he practised the art of mixing and learned how to dj to House music's new dancefloor rhythm.
Together with like-minded friends, such as Gaetano Parisio, Davide Squillace, Random Noize, and other Neapolitan clubbers and DJs who were eagerly looking for something new in club music, the transition towards Techno for Carola began in 1993. With the golden age of the Italo-House movement coming to an end Techno offered a complete new vision of possibilities. Creating and experimenting with new and exciting sounds. Around this time Marco Carola also started to think about building a studio in order to express his personal vision of Techno music.
His ability to mix music and his emerging studio talent encouraged many artists to record at his studio. Between his many more House oriented releases at this time he even managed to produce a 12' for the highly respected MAW (Masters at Work) imprint. Carola soon found the creative limitations of recording for other people`s labels too restrictive for his own creative output and in 1996 he set about producing material for a new, dynamic sound destined to be released on his very own label.
Design Music became the first Italian label focussing purely on Techno music, bursting out of Naples with his own Man Train 12' as the inaugural release. Quickly garnering support from Techno DJs worldwide, Carola`s sound seemed to immediately slot somewhere between Surgeon`s dynamic syncopation, Lost`s cavernous walls of sound, and Blueprint`s hi-fidelity.
The label now acts as one of the main lifelines for fresh Techno music from Italy and most notably Naples with new up and coming artists like Gaetek and Random Noize releasing under the Design banner. After Design, Carola founded his 1000 imprint in 1998 in order to produce ultra-fresh DJ music which he could test on his ever expanding international gigging schedule. By 1998, his first Australian tour was under way, swiftly followed by tours of North America where his unique 3 deck, mixing style made him one of the most requested Techno DJs at the time. In January 1998 Marco Carola teamed up with Gadgets mastermind and i220 founder Corrado Izzo and established two new labels in the shape of Zenit and Question as part of the ELP (Electronic Label Pool) umbrella for artists and labels.
3 years of development and networking followed. Since early 2001 Marco Carola lives in London (UK) after a two years break in Frankfurt. In October 2001 Marco showed his vision of contemporary electronic music by releasing his second album “Open System” which received rave reviews from music critis around the world. With its mix of different styles - a combination and fusion of slower material, break-oriented electronical beats, melodical lines, experimental arrangements together with organic sounds and pads - he proves that he is one of Techno music`s true prime movers.

Comment: quite a good set, some of the stuff played is quite minimal and similar to his fabric cd whilst other stuff is quite bass heavy. the volume levels rise and fall a couple of times during this recording which is annoying but well worth a listen

Comment: i really like marco , his sets have always been faves of mine over the last few years and i recently had the pleasure of being able to catch him at a sonar party @ club4 in barcelona i really liked the set he played there , this mix is more minimal than i have previously heard and whilst its not my fave mix of his its still really good , the only gripe i have is that the sound quality seems to be a little lacking in places and like other coments i too noticed that the volume level seems to go up and down periodically throughout the set , that said its still a quality mix all in all

Comment: I really liked this mix. There's enough variety to keep you interested, yet it stays smooth and easy to listen to throughout. I was lucky enough to see Carola last week, and like others have said, this is not his usual style. Still, it's a great minimal mix and worth getting.

Comment: Ok I have to say this, everything this guy does is top of the range. . . the tunes he selects and plays mix brilliantly together in this two and a half hour dj set in which he plays a selection of his own tunes.All i have to say is this guy really is on top at the moment for me and I can't wait till he is back in Dublin for a gig!thumbs up.
