.Marcus Stork
I was born and raised in the southern parts of Stockholm and got influences of electronic dance music from an early age, back in those days I was listening to a lot of different styles of music: Hip Hop, Disco, Funk and the early sounds of Techno Pop. In the late 80's I became quite into the sounds of House and Acid House, especially after listening a local radio show that was playing the latest dance music. I heard classic tracks like Stakkers "Humanoid" and "Can you feel it" by Mr. Fingers, it was about this time I really started collecting 12" records. If I should mention any artists that I have been influenced by I would say most of the legendary Detroit producers, people like Kevin Saunderson and Juan Atkins, Mr. Fingers, Robert Hood along with Europeans like Luke Slater with his fantastic Planetary Funk series on Peacefrog, Dave Clarke with the Red 1-3 Records, Maurizio's amazing Dub Techno Grooves and of course the electronic sounds from my home country.
During the years I have been through all kinds of electronic music, and that also shows in the way that I spin. Mixing up Detroit Techno with minimal, Tech House, Acid House and other jacky electronic grooves. I try to see my sets as a musical story. I want to give the crowd music with soul, from my soul, not just playing like a machine. With many years of DJing behind me I have performed all around Sweden and other countries in Europe, like Bosnia, Denmark, Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, Poland, Slovenia and Spain. In 2007 I was voted by the people as one of the 5 best Electronic dance music DJ's in Sweden.
My music productions have been released on my own label Armalyte Records (RIP) and German labels like Thomas Schumachers Spiel-Zeug Schallplatten and Holzplatten. Other labels in the list is Mutual Solid Cuts, Omegaritam and Metapath Recordings. In the year 2007 a new label is born, run together with my good friend Johan Aftreglow. The name is "Afterglow & Stork" and the sound in Techno and Electro, straight up! The label i fast rising with its name and the support comes from many big Dj's around the world
