ABOUT
Born in Feldkirch (Vorarlberg) in 1982, also called “the wild west of Austria”, close to the boarder of Switzerland and Germany. His musical vein inoculated, Markus got the beat into the credle, because his father is a Professor of percussion instruments at the conservatory in Feldkirch. At the end of the 90ies he discovered turntables as musical instruments. In the following years he spent a lot of time in his cellar with his 1210s and trained his skills and perfected them. During this time he started to play more and more gigs in and around Vorarlberg as a HipHop-DJ and under his synonym „Ezco“. His popularity increesed and with that the desirability of his mixtapes.
In 2003 he got in touch with electronic music, which infected the content of his crate during the next month tremendously. Since 2006 Markus lives in Vienna. His endeavour: To bring his own musical style to the interessted danceaudience under the view of techno/house, Markus still reveals his focus, which can be described under the words deep, floating, reduced, funky, psychodelic and sexy. This is the best way to describe the tactful sound of the 28 year old.
Inspired by the upcoming underground scene from his hometown and socialised by his local music-posse (Stone Club, Provinzmusik, Rauch Club), Markus founded 2007 together with his childhood friend Jokl the platform „Stadtpark Musik“. A monthly occuring „Stadtpark Nacht“ in Feldkirch and since November 2008 also happening in Vienna, their parties are built on sound and quality rather than on number of attendees nor on mass processing. Bookings like Zip, Thomas Melchior, Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss, Margaret Dygas, Barem, Seph, Gurtz, Eric Johnston or Jorge Savoretti are more than guests. They count them to their further growing family of comrades-in-arms, the good connection to the base in Zürich, especially the cultural institution Cityfox. The story of Markus Lindner an his heartproject „Stadtpark Musik“ is not finally written. Not until the potential of the Austrian capital – a tranquil place full of music lovers – is exhausted, Markus way will find an end.
