Marco Resmann (Upon.You Berlin) Biography

Berlin. The mid 90s. The home and the heart of electronic music with its flourishing scene embracing all kinds of genres from Techno to House and beyond, with tapes on circulation, regular radio shows and an annual climax named Loveparade.

Brought up on this wide ranged diet of electronic sounds Marco Resmann started to work on what should become his profession of the future. Led by his neverending love for House Music he stepped up on stage, eventually started to promote parties and built his Audiogain studio where he continuously honed and refined his production skills on analogue gear.

Soon this steady work paid off in form of a first release on Martin Landsky's Intim Recordings as well as other highly acclaimed 12“es under his former artist alias Phage. Around this time in the mid-noughties Marco Resmann also became part of the production force named Pan-Pot which redefined the trippier side of Minimal Techno in these days. 

Apart from these projects, it was another fruitful collaboration that was meant to last. After meeting and immediately clicking with Norman Weber they started to DJ together on a regular basis before they joined forces in the studio, establishing their project Luna City Express as a main project of Moon Harbour Recordings with numerous EP's, Remixes and a widely praised album named Hello From Planet Earth, all of them providing tasteful, open minded House Music from Germany.

Backed by this experience and an excellent reputation as a DJ Marco Resmann joined the world famous Berlin-based Watergate club as resident in 2006 and has played countless nights in this hallowed space ever since as well as graced the tenth anniversary volume of the Watergate Mix-CD series with a flawless tour de force ride through his personal club favorites and anthems in February 2012 – a mix that can be considered a milestone in his remarkable career so far. 

As solo producer his discography includes acclaimed remixes and releases on imprints like Watergate Records, Upon.You, Poker Flat and the Brazilian imprint Warung Recordings, all of which are serving a unique fusion of House and Techno with a recognizable twist and a love for detailed, complex arrangements.

But there's even more to Marco Resmann than being the expert producer who fully masters his craft and DJ who is playing out to devoted crowds on a regular. Hosting Upon.You label nights at Berlin's famous Panorama Bar for six years has played an essential role in Marco Resmann's approach towards extended DJ sets with whom he pleases crowds all over the globe – from German festival sites like Fusion and Melt! to internationally renowned venues like DC10, Upon.You showcases all over Europe or the big 20 Years Watergate Brazil tour which took place in Brazilian superclubs like Surreal Park, D-Edge, Cultive and many others. Not to mention upcoming tours in Australia, Mexico and, again, Brazil where he is greeted by an especially dedicated, loving followership whenever he touches down in this part of the world.

As co-founder of the Berlin-based Upon.You Records, one of the major forces in the international club scene since 2007, Marco Resmann has been spotting upcoming talent and consistently invested dedicated, straight-up work in the house he and his labelmates have built.

With his most recent release „Box In A Box EP“ which will be released on his own imprint end of November - it's quite right to say that Marco Resmann is going stronger than ever, armed and fully equipped for an amazing 2023 to come. Watch out!

With his most recent release „Voyager EP“ ruling the dancefloors right now, another single lined up via Steve Bug's Poker Flat Recordings – the „Flux EP“ - and more contributions to the catalogue of major players like Upon.You Records and Watergate Records where he is about to release another big 12“ with his „Babylon Side EP“ soon it's quite right to say that 
Marco Resmann is going stronger than ever, armed and fully equipped for an amazing 2018 to come. Watch out!

nΦra besitzt die Superkraft, eine magisch-emotionale Atmosphäre energiegeladener Downtempomomente inmitten des hektischen Alltags zu manifestieren. Ihre perfekt gewählten Tracks laden sich über die Dauer ihrer Klangreise kontinuierlich auf und geben ihre Kraft in akribisch genau getimten Knalleffekten, während der gesamten Abfahrt, wieder.
Diese ganz spezielle Magie entlädt sich vom Kater in Berlin über die Bar am Ende der Welt bis in die Station Endlos nach Halle und weit über die Landesgrenzen hinaus in die Schweiz, zum Mystic Creature Festival oder nach Amsterdam.
Wo ihr Name auf dem Timetable auftaucht, ist qualitativer Downtempo der besten Machart garantiert. Gekonnte Entschleunigung trifft punktgenaue Basslines – saftig saubere Bässe paaren sich elegant mit richtungsweisender Tonation perfekt inszenierter, melodischer Klangvariablen.
Die Mischung aus emotionaler Feinfühligkeit und kräftig schiebenden Druckpassagen malt ein ideales Bild von vollkommenem Downtempo.

LUNA CITY EXPRESS
BIOGRAPHY

Luna City Express – 25 Years of House Music Innovation
Founded in 2000 by Norman Weber and Marco Resmann, Luna City Express has spent a quarter-century shaping the sound of house music. With releases like Fresh and Mr. Jack, acclaimed DJ sets at Watergate, DC10, and Ushuaia, and collaborations with legends such as Robert Owens and Roland Clark, the duo has become a global force in electronic music. In 2025, they celebrate their 25th anniversary with a worldwide tour and the relaunch of their label, Luna City Lab—continuing their mission to push boundaries while staying true to their roots at the beloved Muna Club in Bad Klosterlausnitz.

Early Beginnings

Ken journey into the world of music began in his hometown, where he organised local raves that quickly gained popularity. Despite the enthusiasm and energy these events generated, they were ultimately stopped by the authorities. Undeterred, Ken’s passion for music and the vibrant nightlife culture propelled him to seek opportunities in more established venues.

Ibiza: The Heart of His Career

For the past decade, Ken has made a significant mark at Café Del Mar in Ibiza, where he has become synonymous with the iconic sunset experience. Playing to over 200 sunsets a year, his carefully curated music sets create the perfect backdrop for visitors seeking to unwind and soak in the breathtaking views.

In addition to his residency at Café Del Mar, Ken is also resident Dj at the legendary hotspot Pikes, where he showcases his versatility by playing everything from laid-back poolside sessions to high-energy sets at Freddie’s. His ability to adapt to different atmospheres has made him a sought-after DJ on the island.

Musical Releases and Collaborations

Kens discography reflects his eclectic taste and deep understanding of music. He has released tracks on esteemed labels such as Music for Dreams, Nu Northern Soul, Is It Balearic?, Strictly Rhythm, and Buddha Bar. His work often blends various genres, showcasing his unique style and ability to connect with audiences.

Broadcasting and Guest Appearances

In addition to his live performances, Ken is a regular on the airwaves. He has made regular guest appearances on popular platforms including BBC Radio 1, Ibiza Sonica, Global, and ROVR, further expanding his reach and influence within the music community.

Notable Venues and Experiences

Throughout his career, Ken has played at some of the most iconic venues in Ibiza, including Space, Underground, Pacha, and Privilege. His musical journey has also taken him beyond the island, with residencies at Fabrik in Madrid and the renowned Miss Moneypennys/Chuff Chuff, who played a crucial role in introducing him to the Ibiza scene in the late 1990s.

Conclusion

Dj Ken Fan has established himself as a key figure in the electronic music scene, particularly in Ibiza, where he has spent years honing his craft and captivating audiences. With a rich history of performances, releases, and collaborations, he continues to be a driving force in the world of music, creating unforgettable experiences for fans around the globe.
