Dj Marco Bonafini

Marco Bonafini (°1975 leuven - Teacher) started spinning records at the age of 17, being thoroughly interested in clubbing and especially, being a nightbird. He immediately started playing the music he heared when visiting the rulin’ clubs at that time (La Rocca, Café d’ anvers, boccaccio, ...). When FOOD club influenced the scence in Leuven, some time later, Marco started his own monthly house night at Leuven’ s dancetaria RUMBA. In 2000, after almost having his second home in his favorite record store DOCTOR VINYL in Brussels, he started working there on Thursdays, which he still does.

Having the courage & ambition to promote his own dj-skills soon got him the attention of main Belgian promoters. He has been playing at FOOD, CAFÉ D’ANVERS, ORANGE CLUB and at parties throughout the country. At these events he shared the decks with Belgium’s finest (Koenie, Raoul, Smos & Baby B, Geoffroy, St Dic, Pierre, Trish …) as well as with the better dj’ s from abroad (Derrick Carter, Mateo& Matos, Murray Richardson, Djulz, Luke Solomon, Kenny Hawkes, Felix the housecat, Frederik, Laurent Garnier, Sven Väth). In 2001, Marco caught the attention of some foreign promoters. Since then he played several times at MECCA in Prague (CZ). He also did some gigs in Sofia (CHOCOLATE) and Plovdiv (OPEN AIR) in Bulgaria.

His style can best be described as deep and dubby house/techno towards detroit beats and modern tech-house. Put him in the beginning or at the end of the evening, Marco does it all. Plays his music straight out of his hart, always delivering an exquisite record choice. Keep an eye on Marco 4 sure!
