Belgian DJ and producer Marco Bailey has proven to be versatile as well as reliable throughout his lengthy career. Initially surfacing as a trance producer in the mid-'90s, he switched to straightforward techno by the end of the decade, delivering purist club bangers and tribal tracks on releases such as 1997's Global Warning. During the 2000s, he ventured into electro, minimal, and tech-house on full-lengths like 2004's Rudeboy and ambitious mixes such as 2005's Positive Disorder, both issued through his own MB Elektronics label. During the 2010s, he hosted the successful Elektronic Force mix podcast, which was succeeded by Materia, also the name of an events project and label founded by Bailey. Through this label, he released numerous EPs in addition to albums such as 2021's Surreal Stage.
