MARQUS Talks More About ‘SOUND OF THE BASS’ Collaboration with NOTID

Hey MARQUS! Glad to have you here to talk with you about your latest release ‘SOUND OF THE BASS’.

Thank you for having me, it’s always a pleasure to share a bit more about the music and the process behind it!

The idea behind SOUND OF THE BASS was to create a powerful underground track that could hit hard in both clubs and on festival stages, something raw, energetic, and built around a strong bassline. The track first came to life when NOTID sent me an initial idea. I loved the vibe right away and took it further, building on the foundation he created. From there, I shaped the arrangement, added new elements, and finalized the mix and mastering to give it the punch we were aiming for. It was a really organic and exciting process.

What is different to ‘SOUND OF THE BASS’ apart from your previous work, and why should listeners tune in?

Compared to my earlier releases, SOUND OF THE BASS leans even more into the midtone-driven bass and has a darker, more underground feel. It’s high-energy but still very clean and dynamic. I think listeners will enjoy how it balances raw power with a polished sound, it’s made to move both festival stages and intimate club floors.

Can you tell us a funny story that happened when you worked on the song with NOTID?

During the process, we had a moment where the project crashed and we lost a few hours of work. Instead of stressing about it, we just laughed and took it as a lesson in non-attachment. It reminded us that sometimes letting go leads to even better results, and after restarting, the new version of the track actually turned out stronger.

Do you have a favourite sport or hobby to practice while you’re not producing music?

When I’m not producing music, I enjoy spending time with my girlfriend and also practicing Shaolin relaxation and breathing techniques. It helps me stay focused, balanced, and clear-minded, which is really important when working creatively for long hours.

One track that really stuck with me this year is “CULTURE” by MORTEN and ARTBAT. It has that powerful, driving sound but still feels emotional and immersive, a great balance that I really respect.

What’s your piece of advice you can give to other music producers who are at the beginning of the road in music production?

One technical tip I always share is to mix the mono and stereo signals separately. It really helps to create a cohesive sound that translates well across different speaker systems. Getting the mono foundation right ensures that the track still hits even on smaller setups, while the stereo image can then add width and depth without getting messy.

My next release is a collaboration with SNAJDER, and it’s a true progressive house track, very melodic and powerful. If you’re into the classic sounds of Martin Garrix and DubVision, you’re definitely going to feel this one. We really focused on big emotions and high-energy drops.

This is all for now. Thank you for your time answering our questions. Where can our community find out more about your music and your future releases?

You can find all my music and updates on Spotify and Instagram. Also, my mix series ”THE VAULT” is available on 1001Tracklists and SoundCloud if you want to hear more of the sound I’m building. Thanks again for having me!
