Surkin is 27, lives in Paris and has been making music for a living for half a decade.
In 2006, he signed with Parisian label Institubes, on which he released six EPs in
the following years. In early 2011, Institubes closed down and Surkin, along with
Bobmo and other former Institubes artist Para One, decided to set up their own
label, called Marble.
Surkin has played everywhere, from small clubs and warehouses to huge festivals
(Fuji Rock, Good Vibrations, Primavera, Coachella, Stereosonic,
SummerSonic, Tomorrowland…) and toured Australia, North America, Europe, and
Asia several times. With Bobmo, he formed High Powered Boys, a duo originally
dedicated to the furthering of the ghetto-house cause. He recently made the music for
Kenzo’s “Tiger Fever” campaign and collaborated with M.I.A. on her next album.
He?s also a noted remixer (Justice, M.I.A., Usher, Kavinsky…).
In 2011 Marble released Surkin debut album, USA, followed the next year by USA
club mixes, compiling remixed versions of his tracks by, among others, A-Trak,
Canblaster, Rustie, Brodinski, Jackson & His Computer Band, L-vis 1990 and
Bok Bok, Club Cheval and Feadz.
On March 11th, the label will bring to light a 6 tracks EP called Advanced
Entertainment System. This is futuristic club music with an universal appeal, filled
with influences as diverse as 90’s Japanese video game music, early trance, rap
music and French house.
