With time comes wisdom and with wisdom comes experience. Known for his trippy Chicago Jackin’ House sound back in the day, Marcus has transformed from a rolling ball of fire to a shooting star that ignites the skies with possibilities, exploring the endless universe of GRUVY and melodic sounds & shades of Deep House, Deep Tech and Amapiano. His growth & evolution has made him tap into his spiritual realm to create compositions & DJ mixes  that would make his ancestors proud.

Marcus Watkins is an old school Midwest DJ, producer and founder/manager of former record label Random Access Recordings. Marcus was born and raised on the southside of Chicago and started DJing at the early tender age of 13. From small scale events to large outdoor festivals, Marcus has gotten his fair share of notoriety throughout North America and Europe in the late 1990’s and early 2000s. This includes international tours in Canada, England, Scotland, and an appearance in Greece. He has performed & shared the stage with House Music and Techno legends from around the globe. 

Due to family obligations and a disgust of what the underground electronic dance music scene had become at the time, he decided to retire. 

After a long hiatus, Marcus has returned to contribute music to the world and to play his part in preserving the legacy of Black underground soulful dance music. Marcus does monthly DJ Mix podcast (Gruv Therapy Session), which is sponsored by the South African outfit, DK’s Sound Entertainment. He also has been blessed to release music for Jay Hill’s powerhouse record label, People of the Light Records (POTL) as well releasing exclusive material independently.
