Marco Carola: Play It Loud!

imageNews -
Techno stalwart Marco Carola will release his first full artist album in nine years in February 2011 on the Minus label. His advice? Play It Loud!









The album is more than just a collection of tracks, as Play It Loud! is first and foremost meant as a mix CD showing Marco's diverse tatse in electronic music. "I had the concept of creating an album of new music that's also a mix CD, because that's the way I produce,"says Marco. "(...) It wouldn't make sense, to me, to produce an album with single tracks because those tracks were created to be mixed in a way. "It's an expression of everything I am, as a producer and a DJ. (...) I made this album to do one thing: to enjoy the passion I have for music, without making any compromises. I was really focusing on what I could create, and Minus gave me a free opportunity to do that with no restriction."

Regarding its musical content, Play It Loud! promises to be a heavy bass-laden groove with a vast space of percussive layers and sharp rhythms. Marco: "I called it 'Play It Loud!' because I think my music is based a lot on the groove and the bassline. I don't think I ever play a record if it doesn't have a bassline. So I think the way this album makes most sense is when you actually play it on a big soundsystem. Something like an iPod speakers won't probably make much sense of it. This is just my opinion of how the album should be played: loud! The energy of the music is for that."
