Bringing his blend of groove-led techno to venues from Berlin to Singapore, Swiss DJ/producer and Mad Katz resident Marcism is a name to watch. Now, backed by Catz’ n Dogz, he touches down on the duo’s Step Recordings imprint for the first time with a slick showcase of his growing sound.

Showcasing his style across two originals, serving up the tightly-woven grooves and surging energy of ‘I Know What You Need’ through to the colourful and dubby hues of’ Nothing’, the package also comes loaded with a loose and limber yet punchy remix of the lead track from Trekkie Trax favourite, Carpainter - don’t sleep on these!

I Know What You Need

Resident Thermostat Zürich



Hardly anyone can play effortlessly from one genre to the next. The styles in which Marcism feels at home seem almost inexhaustible. In addition to his great musical knowledge, the Zurich native plays his sets with a confidence and naturalness that makes you buy everything he does as a dancer. His strength, however, lies in house and techno - groovy tracks with lively synths that get even the last person on the dance floor to dance.

Spell PETS backwards to get STEP. 

Spell STEP forwards and you get PETS going back to basics. STEP is the label from the founders of PETS – Catz 'n Dogz – with a focus on the rawest forms and root functions of dance music. 

STEP searches for the fundamentals with under-the-radar house, techno, electronic and indie that’s not afraid to be rough around the edges. It’s all about the music.
