Marco Weber
Present & Future
Producer and DJ Marco Weber’s journey into Electronic Music began with a musical upbringing and an early introduction to Drum and Bass: a catalyst for a path spent discovering, expanding and honing his own creative identity. Since his initial discovery of the genre, he has worked to develop a sound rooted in House, groove and connection, with milestones including a release on Sublease and a debut appearance at Hive in his hometown of Zurich.
We caught up with Marco to discuss his evolution as an artist, his current creative direction and the ambitions shaping what comes next.
Hi Marco Weber! How are you?
Doing great, thanks – I'm always happy to talk about music.
Can you share your evolution into becoming a Producer and DJ? Tell us your story.
Music was never an occasion at home, it was everyday life – my grandmother at the grand piano, my father playing in two bands, my brothers and cousins are all musical. My way into Electronic Music came through my older brother, who was a Drum and Bass DJ, and that energy grabbed me immediately. At some point I wanted to understand how a track builds tension and how a room reacts to it, so I started producing and DJing in parallel. House became my home, and I've been building on that ever since.
How would you describe where you are in your artistic journey today compared with when you first started producing and DJing?
In the beginning I spent a lot of time looking at what everyone else was doing. Today I know much more clearly how my sound should feel – and, more importantly, what I can leave out. Meeting more established producers along the way helped a lot with that; hearing how they think about music and about their own process pushed my development more than anything I could have figured out on my own. My taste hasn't really changed; it's just grown broader.
When you step into the studio at this stage of your career, what part of the production process feels most rewarding to you?
The moment when a few elements suddenly turn into a groove that really carries – when I can tell this would work on the dancefloor. I've also become braver about following an idea even when it doesn't fit any pattern, and some of my favourite results came exactly from that. And some of the best sessions are the ones that will never become a release at all – just sitting down at the piano and playing for the fun of it.
Looking at your recent journey, is there a particular milestone or achievement that has given you a strong sense of pride?
The release on Sublease definitely stands out – putting music out on a label whose sound I genuinely follow myself still feels special. And my first gig at Hive in Zurich was a big one; playing that room for the first time is something you don't forget. Beyond that, it's the club nights and concerts along the way that stay with me. Those evenings where everything lines up are a reminder of why I do this in the first place.
As your sound continues to evolve, what are you most interested in exploring or developing next?
More depth in the textures and the sound design. I work a lot with synthesizers, and I deliberately sit down at the piano now and then without thinking about my own music at all – that's often where the best ideas come from. Warmer and more organic, but without losing the drive.
How do you want people to feel when they encounter a Marco Weber track or DJ set at this point in your journey?
Connected. I want people to dance, to feel the music and to forget everyday life for a few hours. I've been to a lot of shows where a whole room was singing, crying and laughing at the same time, and those nights changed how I think about my own sets. It's not about playing at a crowd – it's about creating that moment together.
What excites you most about the Electronic Music scene right now?
The sense of connection, more than anything. The moment you step onto a dancefloor, everyone is equal – banker or civil servant or artist, rich or poor, whatever your politics or your sexual orientation, none of it matters in that room. People are just living the moment together, and there's a real warmth in that. In times like these, I think that's worth a lot.
Is there a side of your sound or artistic identity that you feel audiences have yet to fully discover?
Probably the live side – that's something almost nobody knows about me. I grew up with piano, jazz and funk, and so far, that only shows up underneath the surface in my tracks. At some point I'd really like to start a live project and bring that part out properly, playing things myself instead of only working with them in the studio.
If you look five to ten years ahead, what would you ultimately like the Marco Weber project to have grown into?
I'd like Marco Weber to be recognised as a signature of its own – not as a sound that happens to work right now. Releasing consistently, playing wherever in the world the music takes me, and never trying to be someone else along the way. That's something I learned early: the moment you chase somebody else's sound, you've lost your own.
With a clear sense of his own sound, Marco Weber continues to explore his creativity, pushing into deeper textures, organic elements and new musical possibilities. Looking ahead, his focus remains on developing a distinct identity, connecting with audiences, and allowing the project to evolve on its own terms. So, as his momentum continues to build, be sure to keep an eye out for Marco Weber and follow him across social media for updates on upcoming releases and performance dates.
