How a young Melbourne producer landed on Carl Cox's Label
For 15 years, Carl Cox's 23rd Century label hadn't released music from another artist. Then Melbourne-based producer Rory Marshall came along with his five-track Late Night Specialist EP.
But Rory's story started long before that. He's been involved in Melbourne's underground scene since 2011, playing clubs like Revolver Upstairs and Pawn & Co, while helping run local parties through collectives including VOID and SIMPLE.
His earlier productions leaned towards house and tech-house, but over time his sound moved into darker, more driving techno. The common thread has always been making music for the dancefloor.
That approach eventually caught the attention of Carl Cox. Rory's Late Night Specialist EP reached number three on Beatport's techno chart, and he later went on to remix Cox's 2004 track Moroccan Chant.
On Saturday 28 November, Rory joins Nina Kraviz, ANNĒ, SHDW and Nick Reverse at Manning Open-Air in Sydney.
