About Marco Selten – DJ, Producer & Modular Synth Artist
Marco Selten (b. 1988) is a Dutch electronic music producer, DJ, and live performer based in Barcelona, known for his genre-blending sets and innovative use of modular synthesizers.
Early Years
Marco grew up in Mill, a small town in the southeast of the Netherlands. Influenced by his older brother, he developed a deep love for electronic music at a young age. He immersed himself in the vibrant Dutch scene, attending major events featuring Hardstyle, Hardcore, Techno, Club, Dubstep, and Drum & Bass.
At just 15, Marco played his first DJ set—only six months after getting his first mixer and turntables. By his late teens, he had refined a unique DJ style using vinyl, timecode setups, CDJs, drum machines, and samplers.
Evolution as an Artist
In his 20s, Marco moved to Nijmegen, where he started his first music production work. He performed at renowned venues in the city and soon expanded to Amsterdam and several festivals across the Netherlands.
His interest in synthesizers evolved into a full commitment to modular synthesis. In 2020, Marco relocated to Barcelona, building a fresh creative hub for his productions and performances.
Releases & Projects
In 2024, he released his debut EP, ‘1+1’, laying the foundation for his upcoming full-length album ‘11’. His sound blends raw hardware energy with hypnotic grooves, driven by live synthesis and deep musical curation.
