"Marco Shuttle makes techno so cavernous and psychedelic you can almost hear the fractal patterns growing on it in the dark. Capable of hypnotising ardent techno heads into fevered, altered states, he’s the logical next step in The Probe’s ongoing exercises in dub-indebted club atmospherics. Total rapture FFO: Donato Dozzy, Deepchord, Sandwell District, Vril, Dino Sabatini."

The Probe returns with another offering of tunnelling dancefloor exploration: deep techno shaman Marco Shuttle will take controls of Strange Brew’s back room for a journey to the farther reaches of tryptamine techno and back again.
London’s Ario brings an eclectic bag of twisty, galvanised techno and electro whilst local conjurer Rizla will open proceedings with crates of loping, gaseous rhythms and beautiful ambient selection.
We hope you can join us!
Marco Shuttle — A Cinematic Voyager in Techno’s Outer Realms
Marco Shuttle has one of those reputations like a spiritual healer or a mythical bird - hard to define but somehow easy to describe if you’ve ever had the pleasure. You may hear of turntable alchemy…A proper journey…never danced so hard or so deeply…a bottomless bag of tunes…”a composer in orbit” if you please.…(that last one is a verbatim quote lol)
All this is to say that whether it be at one of those deep minded get togethers in the Japanese mountains, the ambient room at your fave bliss fest or the middle of Berghain floor on a Sunday evening - confirmed sightings and field reports consistently offer succinct and expletive narratives of how “Shuttle blew my fkn head off mate”.
Almost acting as a byword for consistency, Marco has built a reputation as one of the scene’s most intrepid sonic journeymen. His work is punctuated by a knack for organic synthesis that serves to build sanguine twists and turns within the tracks - all held together by an acute dedication to focus.
Gloriously rich efforts for standard bearing labels such as Clone, Bunker NY and Semantica, as well as his own Eerie imprint, show Marco’s keen ear for churning, playful production that balances propulsive, body-sensitive rhythm with expert tonal modulation.
This creative polestar marries an ability to mix records beautifully; Shuttle absolutely nails the loopy, nutty, fruity and flowery blends whilst always threatening to go fully postal with some of the most twisted, labyrinthine techno this side of being stuck in an actual hedge maze.
Suffice to say you should expect nothing less than one of the finest demonstrations of wormhole chemistry from one of the world’s foremost techno wormhologists
We can’t wait to have you take the probe for a spin Marco!
