Marcus Visionary has been a full time dj, producer and promoter for well over a decade.
In the early 90's Marcus was part of the Non Chalant soundsystem which championed the sounds of Hip Hop, Rnb, Reggae and early house. Since 1992 Marcus Visionary has been a dj and promoter in the Toronto jungle scene and is responsible for creating early Delirium and Junglist Movement events. He currently co runs Theory with partners Jose Rodriguez and Matt Patry (Dj Tasc) which is housed at Toronto's famous Guvernment Nightclub Complex. Marcus is also the resident dj for Theory events which has afforded him the opportunity of playing with all of the top artists in the business.
His Prophecy radio show is North America's longest running Jungle Drum and Bass radio program. This year he celebrates 11 years with partner dj Prime. You can catch the Prophecy every Sunday night from 8-10 p.m E.S.T on 89.5 F.M or www.ciut.fm.
Fast forward to 2005 which was a great year for the duo as they set up two labels via Load Media in the U.K; Dance Rock and Lion Dubs. In 2005 they were also fortunate enough to be noticed by Shy FX and T Power and picked up as resident artists for the new Digital Soundboy label. Check out the website at www.digitalsoundboy.com. Since then they've had three releases on the label with the latest being 'Give Me Your Love' and 'Jungle Rock' which features one of their resident vocalists Peter Ranking. With the support of Shy FX and T Power Visionary are now full time studio headz focussing on creating a unique dancefloor friendly sound.
In the last decade Visionary have also been featured on many premiere labels including: Play:musik, 31 Records, Revolve:r, Trouble on Vinyl, Horizon Music, X tinction Agenda, Shout, Flex Records, Hustlin Beats, On Point, Nice and Smoothe and of course Digital Soundboy, Dance Rock and Lion Dubs
The Visionary sound is a fusion of dub, reggae, techno, soul, and early jungle with strict attention paid to melody and sub bass. In the last two years Visionary have managed to contribute a fresh new sound to the Drum and Bass world and it seems that there is no stopping this dynamic duo anytime soon. As for Marcus's dj sets get ready for loads of Digital Soundboy exclusives!
