Marco Smith ...
DJ Marco Smith was born in 1977. He is based in Edinburgh Scotland. Marco’s first real break came in the late 90’s when he entered the Vestax DJ Mixing Competition. He was runner up in the contest; this raised his profile amongst local promoters. Which lead to him being offered a number of gigs, some of which became residencies, around his home town of Edinburgh and various other towns and Cities in Scotland.
Marco's rise from total obscurity has been achieved due to his natural ability, genuine enthusiasm, and his constant desire to improve his craft.Technical excellence is very important to Marco, so when he is not playing out you will find him practicing, mixing and experimenting with various styles, endeavouring to constantly improve his already very impressive D.J. capabilities.
Marco describes his House sound as “Real, Chunky and Phatt “and he mixes in a style that moves and grabs any dance floor, no matter what direction he chooses to take it, once he has captured you with his inventive style there is no escape until he has spun his last tune .Coming straight from the dance floor, Marco knows instinctively what it is a crowd wants, and how to deliver it, his genuine love for music is abundantly clear. “ I love music, I just could not imagine even one day with out some form of music in my life”
Over the last 10 years Marco has held residencies at some of Scotland’s more credible club nights:
