DJ Marcus Aurelius (馬克思)
Ten years is a long time to be perfecting any skill, but 2014 marks DJ Marcus Aurelius’ first decade in the DJ game. From hauling crates of records all around Asia to make people move on any type of dance floor to being technically proficient enough to be one of the hand-picked contestants in the Red Bull Thre3style competition by his peers, Aurelius has had long and illustrious DJ career so far. 

Aurelius is not slowing down anytime soon. 

Expect classic hip-hop, foot-stomping funk, smoothed-out soul, sweaty dancehall, head-nodding house, groovy moombahton, ticked-out trap and booty-shaking twerk sounds of the past, present and the future mixed, remixed and refixed in ways that are pleasing to even the most finicky club-goers’ ears when Aurelius is behind the decks. 

Besides headlining at all the biggest clubs in Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung and all over China, Aurelius has been an integral part in building the underground music scene by introducing Taiwan to parties on beaches, at pools, on ice skating rinks, and in roller rinks. For the past four years, Aurelius has worked with frog in a sock for Havana pool parties, Resurrection Halloween parties, and The Last Minute New Year’s Eve parties, all which have gotten bigger and better every year. 

Expect 2014 to be a banner year for Marcus Aurelius as it is truly the year to GO BIG!

Initially founded in 2002 as an offshoot of the celebrated Knitting Factory club in lower Manhattan, Knitting Factory Records, along with the new Knitting Factory club in Brooklyn, was reborn in 2009 with the acquisition and re-release of the Fela Kuti catalog. KFR also encompasses the catalogs of Instinct Records, Shadow Records, Shimmy Disc, and Evolver Records.

In partnership with Partisan Records, a Brooklyn-based artist-run label, Knitting Factory Records strives to honor the music of an eclectic array of relevant artists drawn from both the past and the present.

“Music is the weapon. Music is the thing of the future. Music is the weapon of the future.” - Fela Kuti
