Starlight Thursdays Episode 172 Welcome Captain Marlinn to the series.
We have something special to share. This mix is made of 100% original produced tracks by Captain Marlin. It’s also his first time recording an “All Original” mix. We feel extra honored to have this recording in our series.
Q: How long have you been DJing?
A: I first got my hands on a DJ controller back in 2018, but it wasn't until the end of 2020 that I decided to take my passion for DJing more seriously.
Q: Why did you get into it?
A: My journey into the world of DJing and producing was ignited at Harvest Fusion 2016, my very first music festival. From that moment on, it became an obsession. Music has always been close to my heart, having played the guitar since I was 5 years old. Unfortunately, arthritis struck me at a young age, halting my guitar playing days. But then, EDM and dubstep entered my life, and I knew I had found my new musical path.
Q: What events have you played?
A: This year has been a turning point for me, as I just started getting booked by other promoters and production companies. I've had the pleasure of playing at Digital Renegades '23, “The Static Void Campout” in Idaho, and “Forest Creatures 6”. I had the pleasure of playing on the stages of “Temple Sound”, “Annunaki Sound”, “Ubuntu Productions”, and “Stormbornsounds” Additionally, I've been organizing my own private and public events since 2021 under the banner of Wook Mafia, a passion project co-founded by myself and smokeA:M. Some of the events we put on were "Big Sky Bass" and "Last Chance Bass Therapy." I also have been working with the Butte Action Alliance & the Susan Wicklund Fund to help raise money for women to get abortions who cant afford the travel, medical, and housing costs associated with it.
Q: Where are you from?
A: I was born and raised in Helena, MT, but now I call Butte my home.
Q: What inspires you?
A: My initial inspiration came from attending shows and being captivated by the incredible sounds other artists were creating. Today, it's the support and love I've received towards my music that keeps me going. Witnessing people's reactions when they hear my tracks booming through massive systems fuels my creative fire.
Q: What genres are in your mix?
A: I love experimenting with different genres, and my mix is a fusion of Deep Dub, Grime, Neuro Bass, Glitch-Hop, and Trap. Some of the artists who inspire my music include but are not limited to; shwiLLy, nnamba, TKYO, ill.Gates, and Resonant Language.
Q: A few words about your mix?
A: This mix holds a special place in my heart as it marks the first time I've crafted an hour-long mix comprised entirely of my original tunes. It took me just over a year of almost daily music production to reach this milestone, and I couldn't be prouder of what I've achieved.
I just announced that I'll be hosting a show at "The Cavalier Lounge" in Butte, MT, on August 30th from 10PM-1AM. It's going to be a night of bass-filled magic, and entry is free for all those 21 and above. Come join the fun! I'm also putting up $200 for a remix compilation I'm doing on an unreleased track of mine, all producers are welcome to join. More info can be found on my insta or FB
