At the Trance Takeover on September 24 and 25 at hot spot Pacha, throngs of people inside and out were there to experience the non-stop party of all (music) things fast, bumpy, scratchy and exhilarating in sound.
One of the DJs performing was Marco V, an internationally known DJ, who in a simple black V-neck tee took immediate control of the tools in front of him, while giving the raucous crowd some of the loudest and most party-pumping tunes of a dark ambience, in contrast to the colorful, near-by Times Square. After his three hour set, still buzzing from the contagious high-energy atmosphere inside of Pacha, Marco V was able to set aside some time to chat on why he loves his (very cool) job.
What inspires you to DJ? What do you feel you contribute to the game?
Well, I reason I DJ is because I like music, and for me, djing is a pleasure. Luckily people really enjoy what I am doing.There is no greather meaning than having a good time.
That's great! What would you say is the difference between djing in Europe in comparison to New York City (or the United States in general)?
That's a good one. The thing is, in the U.S., people really respect what you're doing, and they allow the DJ to really do their thing. In Europe, especially in Holland, they mostly want to hear what they want, not the other way around, which is frustrating in a hilarious way. So it's particulary fun to DJ in America. They trust you'll know what to play.
Yeah, I'm sure it's a welcomed change at times too because of that. What kind of genres or songs you like to play the most when you're in the zone?
Hmmm, well, I'm not as picky on what to play as people may think. Like tonight, I played trance, electronica, dance, a little pop, a little bit of everything. It was my second time playing at Pacha and it was great. The crowd was very responsive which definitely gave me even more reason to keep going.
