All the very latest direct from Marco V this month as he gets stuck into touring America with a big date lined up at the Audiotistic festival in California. News on that and everything else V related...

Marco V has been globe trotting all over the shop over the past few months as is the norm these days for any top name international DJ. Marco is much more than just a DJ though with his V.Vision brand and more good tunes than you can shake a stick at released over the years. He has popped over with his July update and later on this month will be launching a brand new music project known as T.A.O, that’s 'The Art Of' to you and me. Expect an explosion of tour dates, compilations and new music under the new project later on this year.

Audiotistic = Audio-tastic!

On Saturday 24th, as part of his major July US manoeuvre, Marco will be bringing those tightly-packed V-rhythms to San Bernadino, California and to the Audiotistic festival. It will be big, it will be large... and speakers will pound! If you're in South Cali on the last weekend of this month get yourself down to the NOS centre to see the audio-action for first hand.

T.A.O. Launch Party Sept 3rd

Last month we brought you first word of Marco's major new 2010 project. To kick T.A.O. (or The Art Of...) off in fine style Marco will be playing a very special one-off 4 hour set in his hometown of Heeswijk-Dinther. On Friday Sept 3rd he has been given special dispensation to host an electronic music event in the confines of the unique, awe-inducing Kersouwe open air theatre . As events go this year – it will not be one to miss! T.A.O. itself will focus on music that will reach out from his trance influences into the realms of techno, tech house & progressive. It will also encompass tours, compilations and bespoke innovative multimedia aspects. 'Reaver' will be one of the music division’s launch releases and you can check Marco giving it its first test outing on YouTube at an open air gig earlier in the month. We'll be back with more T.A.O. launch party info in August's V. News.

Indian Summer

Indian Summers... We all dream of them; we all hope for them, but Marco, the lucky devil has already had one... albeit in festival form! Last month, in The Netherlands under some appropriately sunny skies he worked the tent pegs loose at the 10th annual Indian Summer Festival. You can check Marco giving it to the crowd, just the way they like it here and while you're out and about in cyber-side, why not check him doing very much the same thing in Tel Aviv at the Bitan 1 night.

In Charge, On The Charge

July has got some hot-house In Charge offerings readying up to hit the download stores. Ali Wilson's regular production sergeant Lee Osborne has gotten hectic on the remix of 200V classic 'Automanual'. That'll be out on the 12th and it'll be followed on the 26th by the long-awaited remixes of the Khashassi-vocalled speaker-fryer 'Scenario' from Propaganda 2.

SW4 And other new V. Interviews:

With the worldwide festival season now in full swing it won't have escaped your attention that Marco is playing more than just a handful of them. In and amongst the throng, on the 28th and 29th of August, South West Four will take flight with an all-star cast of spinners and artists on the bill. The organisers caught up with Marco for a pre-gig interview, the results of which you can check out here and also (in preparation for their back-to-back set ) ran a special 'Marco and Sander Week'; clicking this link will take you right to that! And that's not all... Respected music blog Beatsmedia also had a chat with him recently, that's checkable right here If your Dutch is up to the task you can also do a YouTube tune in to hear Mr V being interviewed just prior to taking the stage at the Dancetour event in Roosendaal last month.

The DJ Awards - Voting starts...

The nominees for the 13th Annual DJ Awards have just been announced and Marco was coloured a fine shade of happy to be nominated in the Techno category (alongside Cox, Vath, Mills, Umek, Villalobos, Hawtin and Cristian Varela). If you've had your spot rocked by a man called V this year and felt like showing your support, you can head over to the voting site now and do just that! If he makes it to the winners podium on the 28th of September @ Pacha in Ibiza he will owe you an ice-cold pint of best, super-strength Dutch lager (or whatever you're drinking!).
