Marlo
Biography
MaRLo is the stage name of Marlo Hoogstraten, a trance DJ born in Amsterdam (Netherlands) and based in Australia. The “MaRLo” spelling, with a capital letter in the middle, came from being frequently introduced on radio as “Mario”.
In 2010, he ranked #2 among trance DJs in Australia and #11 overall in the Inthemix Top 50 DJ poll.
He started out relying on hardware synthesizers (Roland JP-8000, Nord Lead, Korg Wavestation, Novation Supernova), but now produces almost exclusively on a computer.
He runs his own label, Reaching Altitude, which has notably signed Heatbeat and Mark Sixma.
He is married to Jano, a trance singer who has collaborated with Armin Van Buuren and Andrew Rayel.
