Marco Carola (nacido en Npoles el 7 de febrero de 1975) es un DJ italiano de msica

electrnica.1

Historia
A la edad de 13 aos obtuvo su primera batera, que toc durante aos antes de comprar y
pinchar discos. En 1990, cuando la escena delHouse italiana estaba en su edad de oro -a
la vez que la locura del Acid House en Gran Bretaa- la batera de Carola fue sustituida
por dos platos y una mesa de mezclas. Practic mucho con la mesa y rpidamente
aprendi a pinchar los nuevos ritmos que se escuchaban en las pistas de baile.
La transicin de Carola hacia el techno comenz en 1993 junto a otros amigos y clubbers
napolitanos como Gaetano Parisio, Davide Squillace, Random Noize y dems DJs que
estaban buscando hacer algo nuevo en la escena napolitana. Con la edad de oro del ItaloHouse llegando a su fin, el techno ofreca nuevas posibilidades de experimentacin con
todos esos nuevos sonidos que encantaron a Marco y sus amigos. En esa poca Marco
tambin empez a pensar en crear su propio estudio para expresar su propia visin
del techno. Su habilidad para mezclar msica y su talento en el terreno de la produccin
hizo que muchos artistas visitaran su estudio para grabar. Adems de varios temas House,
lleg a producir un 12" para el sello de los respetados y venerados MAW ( Masters at
Work ).2

Sellos Discogrficos
Carola se dio cuenta de las limitaciones que supona grabar para los sellos de otros y
en 1996 decidi crear su propio sello, Design Music, que se convertira en el primer sello
italiano que se dedicaba totalmente a publicar msica techno, sorprendiendo a los
aficionados al techno de la ciudad italiana con su propio 12" titulado Man Train.
Rpidamente consigui el apoyo de muchos DJs de todo el mundo que observaban el
sonido de Carola como un cruce de caminos entre el Dynamic Syncopation de Surgeon, el
Cavernous Walls de Lost y el I-Fidelity de Blueprint. En la actualidad el sello es uno de los
focos principales de msica techno italiana y en especial de Npoles, con nuevos artistas
como Gaetek y Random Noize. Tras el sello discogrfico Design, Carola fund
en 1998 otro sello llamado One Thousands Records, para producir nueva msica que
pudiese probar en su, cada vez ms completo, calendario de actuaciones en todo el
mundo. En 1998 realiz su primer tour por Australia, seguido de las giras
por Canad y Estados Unidos, donde su estilo a tres platos lo convirti en uno de los DJs
ms solicitados del mundo.3
Vivi en Londres durante un perodo de tiempo pero antes disfrut de un break de dos
aos en Frankfurt, con dos sellos nuevos, Zenit donde se encuentran DJs reconocidos
como Stanny Franssen, Rino Cerrone, Danilo Vigorito y los finlandeses Mr Velcro
Fastener, entre otros fichajes y Question que estuvo en pausa mientras el italiano se
acomod en su nueva ciudad, pero que se reactiv rpidamente para que Carola siguiera
dando de que hablar, Como en su segundo largo Open System de ese mismo ao 2001 en
el que el italiano flirteaba con los breaks y los sonidos orgnicos en su obra ms lograda
hasta la fecha.

Nueva Era
En 2004 Marco Carola se renueva y decide dejar atrs los ritmos ms duros para optar
por centrarse en publicar msica mas minimalista, esta nueva etapa coincide con su vuelta
aNpoles y comienza a apostar por actuar en Clubs ms pequeos donde se le permita
desarrollar unos Sets ms largos. Dos aos ms tarde Marco Carola muestra su sonido
actual grabando el episodio 31 de la serie de mezclas del Club Fabric. En 2007 publica
Apnea, el primer EP que saca con el sello Plus 8 y entra de lleno en la familia Minus en la
que se queda hasta nuestros das y donde ha publicado varios EPs tanto en Minus como
en Plus 8 e incluso en M2, subsello de Minus y que dirige el propio Carola. En 2011 publica

su nuevo lbum, Play It Loud (Minus, 2011), con el que realiza una extensa gira de
presentacin que le lleva a viajar y a actuar por todo el mundo.
