DJ Markitos: Happy trance.


DJ Markitos (Marcus Stolarcik) is a young producer of electronic music from the Slovak Republic. He focusses on Trance and Techno music.

During his university years he met people from the music department and eventually went to work as a sound engineer on Slovakian radio. For many years he has worked in radio, playing pop chart music and refining his technical skills. After spending time abroad, he experienced totally non-commercial style of music, which led to his buying an early sequencer and making his own electronic music.

DJ Markitos's music is normally played around 140-160 BPM and usually has a four-to-the-floor beat. There is a great deal of repetition, provided by arpeggiators and bass lines. Listen for synth effects and layered sounds. The music often builds to a crescendo several times throughout a song. Many tracks devolve into a spacey ambiance or floating piano-type lines at the end.

The "Slower Emotions (138 BPM Remixes)" album is a collection of remixes of songs from DJ Markitos' earlier albums, changed to be at a constant temp of 138 beats per minute. Originally, these songs were remixed for a company releasing the music as exercise-music, sold for Dance, Aerobics and other places where a constant tempo would be helpful. The music worked differently slowed down (most of the songs were originally faster) and it was thought that a release of the remixes might be interesting.
