A globally recognized pioneer of techno and tech-house, Marco Carola was instrumental in introducing techno to club culture in the early 90s from his native Naples. He was a key figure in the shift from Italo-disco and house towards a more accelerated, industrial sound. Carola's early immersion in club culture and electronic music led him to DJing and production by his teenage years. A driving force in the Neapolitan underground techno scene alongside artists like Davide Squillace, he furthered his creative exploration by founding influential record labels including Design Music and One Thousand Records. A significant shift towards minimalist electronic music in 2004, followed by key releases on Richie Hawtin's Plus 8 and the acclaimed album "Play It Loud" in 2011, solidified his international standing. This era also marked the rise of Music On, his iconic residency in Ibiza and global event series, which has become a leading force in tech-house, embodying his core philosophy: "It's all about the music."
