Tensnake

Born in Hamburg in 1975, Marco grew up listening to disco, soul, boogie, funk, and ’80s pop. As he grew older he went through a brief Mod phase before finding and embracing more dance floor-inspired influences from Larry Levan to Junior Boys Own, Romanthony to Masters of Work. Tensnake’s first taste of critical acclaim came with the release of his In the End (I Want You to Cry) EP on the label Running Back in 2009. The EP was voted #1 on djhistory.com’s end-of-the-year list, and was the driving force behind Tensnake’s breakthrough success.
