Marley Carroll’s auspicious start as a classically trained percussionist and award-winning turntablist propelled him into the limelight at an early age. Carroll’s signature style of exquisitely-detailed atmospheric dance music is adored by fans for its powerful emotional resonance and highly rated by peers who cite him as an abiding influence, evoking favorable comparisons to genre luminaries like Four Tet, Caribou and Boards of Canada.

Onstage, he delivers a raw and improvisatory adaptation of his records to spellbound audiences, combining sampling, drum pads and live looping with stunning and often unorthodox turntable skills. He has shared stages with Floating Points, Mura Masa, and Bonobo and has notched acclaimed appearances at iconic music festivals like Coachella and Moogfest. 

His latest EP, 2022's Voices, was inspired by the heartache of missing raving during lockdown and wears its UK influences proudly. Like the best underground dance music of this era, Voices combines the driving intensity of the dance floor with the luminous nostalgia of late-night afters. The emotional resonance of Voices lingers long after a first listen and it seems destined to become both a DJ staple and essential listening for fans of artists like DJ Seinfeld, Godford and Fred Again. Voices captured the attention of BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6, Radio Ibiza, KCRW and KEXP and provides a brilliant anticipatory window onto what’s next for Carroll’s sound.

" In this construct we call society, we are held prisoner to the laws and rules created by the powers that shouldn't be.  We are treated as clones and sent through a system of Illusions and false beliefs.   Our entire lives, we are told how to act and what to believe through this system that is set up for us. For true learning to occur, we need to unlearn what the system and society has manipulated us to believe.  Mind is not the path to enlightenment, it is the barrier to it.  Knowledge and knowing is not the same thing.  One comes from the mind, the other from a harmonious state within.  To truly learn, we must first awaken from the deep sleep of programming and remember who we really are, and what we are really capable of. When we do this, we cease thinking and start knowing.  Call it intuition or following your heart .. it comes from a much higher level of awareness than we are used to tapping into. This connection is the root to spontaneous behavior.  It is the all knowing infinite oneness that the system seeks to suppress.  Go within to find... I Am "  Do this, knowing that We are,  together.  - T  2010

"I chatter, chatter, as I flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever."
