Marley Carroll (Late Night) Biography
Marley Carroll is a prodigious multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ based in Asheville, North Carolina. His 2007 self-produced debut, Melanaster, is the result of meticulous bedroom alchemy, sounding like a lost Radiohead LP submerged in ten feet of salt water. The album’s touchstones are found in the space between the beautiful haze of early Nineties shoegaze rock (My Bloody Valentine) and early 2000’s IDM (Autechre, Squarepusher). The result is smeared, melancholy pop songs tethered to abstract electronic rhythms, what NPR called “gorgeously subdued glitch-pop”.
In 2011, Marley developed his first solo PA set to bring a more raw and improvisatory vision of his music to live audiences, combining vocals, turntable, hardware controllers, Serato, and a custom Logic interface. Carroll’s onstage performances are exercises in understated talent that mix live vocals with stunning and unorthodox turntablist skills over a bed of melancholy electronica. This past year, he has toured with forward-thinking producers like Shigeto, Dabrye, Emancipator, and has appeared at groundbreaking music festivals (Moogfest, Decibel, Coachella). He continues to hone his unique style of propulsive, thoughtful electronic music in the studio, and his most recent EP (2012’s R&S / Cedars) was featured by XLR8R magazine.
As a DJ, Carroll fluently blends together a carefully curated selection of emotive dance music, combining minimal house, experimental IDM, and the occasional world music gem. His sets include masterful mixing, innovative glitch technique and the skillful scratching that earned him high praise and accolades from a young age. At 17 he became the youngest DJ to earn the title of best scratch DJ for his home state of North Carolina. He has developed a sixth-sense ability in reading his crowd’s reaction to steer his sets in all the right directions. At Belly Up, expect to see both sides of Marley Carroll on display: the innovative electronic musician and the obsessively detailed DJ.
