He managed to get a pair of pitchable turntables and started buying records and
made mixtapes for friends at school who wanted to hear the new music. Later he
moved on to play out in parties, first being a resident at the parties he was
involved in promoting, but with the reputation he got, led to more sets at
different parties all over the south of Sweden. This is where he first met
Sebastian and they became friends and after about a year they combined
Sebastian’s perspective as a musician and his musical knowledge with Marcus´ dj
skills and experience from the technoscene into producing. They started out with
some simple fragments that were tried out in Marcus´ dj sets and these moments
became a very important source for feedback that led to their development. With
the acquired experience they put some tracks together under the project name
Trimatic. The tracks were pressed as a whitelabel for promotion and to find
distribution to their own label Baluns records but at this stage it seemed like
neither our music or the market
were ready for eachother.
In the summer of 1998 a new turn
was taken in the production and they decided this was to be a different project
and so Son Kite saw daylight.
In August they got their first proper booking to
play live and with a lot of new music in september they demounted their studio
to go to Copenhagen and play live for an
overwhelmed crowd and this gave them
the inspiration needed to make a second send out to find a distributor for
Baluns records. Instead of finding a contract for distribution of their label it
turned out that one of the distributor was also managing a label and they were
more than thrilled by this new sound and this was the beginning of the
successful Son Kite.
