Marky has just released Yellow Shoes the 41st release on Innerground Recordings.  We thought we'd catch up with him to find a bit more about it and a bit more about Marky...

Example : Tell us about Yellow Shoes and Mystic Sunset?

Marky : Yellow Shoes was a track I started making for my girlfriend when we were living apart. I can’t tell you where the idea to sing the vocal came from, it just kind of happened like that. I sent the track to SPY and he did some work on it and hey presto! Yellow Shoes was born. Mystic Sunset was a sample from a track by Chris Coco called “Summertime”. It was one of those samples SPY and I were playing around with the day before a Marky & Friends gig and it just came together really easily.

Example : Tell us something interesting about you that we probably don't know.

Marky : I really don’t like football/soccer. My son is great at it, but I just can’t get into it for some reason – even though I am Brazilian!

Example :  If you don't think you'd ended up in music what do you think you would be  doing?

Marky : I really have no idea. My Dad wanted me to have a “proper” job, like a police officer or something like that. If it hadn’t been music then it probably would have been something to do with the business of music.

 

Example :  What was the first piece of music you bought and why?

Marky : First piece of music I bought was a Stevie Wonder album. I was in love with Stevie from the very first time I heard him. One of my biggest heroes.

Example:  Last piece of music you bought and why?

Marky : Last time I bought music was a load of second hand records while I was digging for samples. Couldn’t tell you what they were, just that it cost me a lot to take them back to Brazil from the UK.

Example : A tune which changed your life?

Marky : Roy Ayers – “Everybody Loves The Sunshine” It’s just a beautiful piece of music from start to finish.

 

Example:  Funniest / Craziest thing you think has ever happened to you whilst touring as a DJ ?

Marky : Nothing really crazy happens to me on tour to be honest. Yeah you get sme crazy kids in the clubs saying and doing some outrageous stuff, but nothing to shout about really.

Example : Whats next in the pipeline?

Marky : More releases, more touring and I am working on an album and live project. It’s still early stages and I am not putting any pressure on myself to get it finished by a deadline, but it is sounding good and I am really happy with the way it is headed.

Yellow Shoes is available now from all good record stores.
