For over a decade, MaRLo has been one of the most commanding forces in dance music — a producer, performer, and visionary whose sound has ignited the world’s biggest festivals and arenas.
Voted into the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs five times, MaRLo has built a dedicated global following through monumental releases such as “Lighter Than Air” (ASOT Tune of the Year) and collaborations with artists as diverse as Armin van Buuren and Will Sparks, alongside countless main-stage anthems that define his explosive style.
Beyond his studio output, MaRLo has created his own phenomenon — ALTITUDE, a hard-ticket MaRLo concert series that has evolved into a global brand and rite of passage for fans. In 2024, ALTITUDE Malaysia drew a massive 16,000 fans, while ALTITUDE Melbourne 2025 packed in 14,000 attendees. In total more than 50,000 people experience ALTITUDE every year.
Internationally, MaRLo’s vision continues to expand. In 2024 he hosted the ALTITUDE Stage at Djakarta Warehouse Project (DWP), one of Asia’s largest festivals — a landmark moment that solidified ALTITUDE’s global presence. And in December 2025, the journey ascends again as MaRLo brings the ALTITUDE Stage to Creamfields Thailand, marking the brand’s official debut under the Creamfields banner.
Not content to stay in one lane, MaRLo also launched his hardstyle alias – V3NOM, showcasing a darker, more aggressive side. The debut single dropped on Timmy Trumpet’s SINPHONY label (Spinnin’ Records), followed by a collaboration with Se3k on Dutch Master Works (Showtek’s label) — both earning widespread support across the harder scene and festival stages alike.
With past performances spanning Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival, EDC, Creamfields, Parookaville, Airbeat One, Transmission, and A State of Trance, MaRLo continues to headline the world’s most prestigious stages. Through his label REACHING ALTITUDE and ALTITUDE RADIO, he remains a driving force in shaping the next generation of electronic music.
Always armed with fresh ideas, boundary-breaking music, and a vision that fuses art and energy, MaRLo isn’t just playing the main stage — he’s building his own. The ascent continues.

Westend has emerged as one of house music's most promising artists. The New York native's ever-expanding sonic footprint was instrumental in drafting the blueprint for the sound of modern tech house and helped usher in an era that has seen American artists once again push to the forefront of dance music culture.

As a teenager during the blog house era, he fell in love with the sounds of artists like MSTRKRFT, The Bloody Beetroots, and Justice. Compelled to replicate those groundbreaking sounds, he dove head first into production classes at the Bronx High School of Science, the alma mater of famed synth engineer Robert Moog. 

His ability to remain on the leading edge while staying true to the roots of house music has created peak dancefloor moments for ravers across the globe and led to releases on esteemed imprints like Repopulate Mars, Insomniac, Armada, and D4 D4NCE. As one of Beatport's top ten best-selling tech house producers, hit records like 2021's "Jumpin'"—with fellow New Yorker CID—have not only spent weeks dominating the top of the charts, they've landed into the crates of MK, Diplo, Lee Foss, John Summit, and Sonny Fodera. 

Each passing year brings breakthrough moments. In 2022 he collaborated with Latin house kingpin, HUGEL, and Cumbiafrica on "Aguila," which sat in the top ten for staggering eight weeks. In 2023 he collaborated with longtime friend Noizu on the rave-tinged anthem "Push To Start," which quickly rocketed to peak positions on the tech house and overall chart.

And while he continues to climb the charts, he's also been a faithful steward of the producer community leading the Kick and Bass network, where he shares his vast production knowledge with several hundred budding producers. 

Beyond his production prowess, Westend crisscrosses the country, regularly performing at festivals and clubs from EDC and CRSSD to Shambhala and The Brooklyn Mirage. In 2023 he made his first forays onto the international scene with gigs in Liverpool and a coveted slot on Insomniac's kineticFIELD at EDC Mexico.

Westend's creativity is constantly expanding. His plans for the coming year include launching his label in late 2023 and embarking on his first solo headline tour. His remarkable journey from throwing micro-raves for New York high schoolers to headlining festival stages exemplifies how the DIY spirit of dance music continues to permeate the culture.
