Still a work in progress. Gonna drop most of if not all of the vocal bits, vary the lead keys after the main break and add some energy to the section from after first break to main break as it's a bit dull. Any other comments welcome.

The-Rez

This was meant to be a short intro to use in our sets and in a mix but I ended up doing a short track. All done in Ableton which I haven't used for a while so it's good to give Logic a break and just have a  bit of fun throwing things together. The vocal is the intro from a Kanye West/Jay Z colab called Monster and I really wanted to do something with it - The rest of the beats are all put together from samples arranged by myself... So here it is - Rough and ready, minimum processing or fiddling around but rather happy with the outcome...

Kanye's a Monster - Baltazar's Quick Re-Lick

A flow of tracks that have been keeping me warm over the winter and getting me amped for the summer... Roll on the rooftop parties, garden jams, long drives with the windows down and the slow Sundaze spent by the pool, beer in hand and meat on the grill...

Rave's Gone Rogue!

Purveyor of the groove! Perverter of the senses! Slick, Passionate, Hedonistic, it's all about the bright lights and big city nights! There are many ways to describe a person but none more accurate in describing Baltazar Marques... If he isn't providing the vibe with quality house in all it's guises, he would certainly be seeking it... and lucky for us... find it he will...

"I'm a lover of music, not a purist! If it's good, it's good. Play to your audience, play what you love. Don't let genre snobbery rule your sound..."

As well as two years playing locally in South Africa before moving overseas to get involved with international sounds and events, his experience on the European DJ Circuit for 9 years was spent mostly in the mecca of dance, London. Baltazar has spanned a musical journey which includes playing to packed crowds at some of the most renowned clubs including The End, Turnmills, The Egg, Ministry of Sound, Koko and many a dark basement and club in-between. Playing Festivals in Russia, Gala Nights in Ibiza, and consistently selling out Boat Parties and club nights under his own brands, Comfortably Numbed which has just celebrated it's 8th year and Elek2ronik together with his 2 PhUnKeD uP partner in crime Greg King. Some feat for any promotion and it's no surprise to hear he has supported & touched wax in the company of many local UK and international Big Name DJ's and Artists including Erick Morillo, Tim Sheridan, Paul van Dyk, D'Julz, Mike Monday, Sebastien Leger, Stanton Warriors, SOS, Herve and King Roc to name a few.

The past 11 years has been a manic arrangement of twisted, mashed up, phatt beat filled week-ends and late week nights spent promoting, DJ'ing and producing as one half of the DJ Duo's 2 PhUnKeD uP and more recently, Deft Deuce. Winning multiple mix competitions as well as iDJ Magazine's RAW TALENT, releasing tracks on record labels such as Chameleon Muzik and Navida Records, hosting various online radio shows and running their own nights and music label, they, through their music created a following of like minded people that became more of a family than just clubbers & friends. Their own nights Comfortably Numbed and Elek2ronik played host to DJs such as D.Ramirez, Deepgroove, Alex Kenji, Jaimie Fanatic, Azzido Da Bass, Roman Pushkin, HiJack, Jan Driver, Lee Mortimer & Paul Bingham at various quality venues around the capital. 

"For Greg and I, it was never about drawing the biggest crowds, we just wanted to invite & play alongside some of our favorite DJ's & Artists and we were lucky to have such a great turnout from everyone that happened like what we were into."

"Challenge your ears to take in the aural delights that sit delightfully heavy on your soul and keep you skipping to the beats long after the lights have come on…"
