The last time I saw Marky, at the (now-defunct) War Room, the place was packed with beautiful bodies sweating it out to the Brazilian DJs edgily uptempo style of drum n bass. The sense of communal joy was so high that a stranger kissed me on the dancefloor – now thats a party. Discovered by V Recordings Bryan Gee back in 98, Marco Antonio Silva has been known for his energetic scratching and his smiling face ever since. His recent Kings of Drum + Bass, compiled and mixed with the legendary 4Hero, is a lesson in everything you never knew the genre had: particularly, sunshine and soul. With Kid Hops, SunTzu Sound.
