MARCUS SANTORO
Melbourne-based producer and DJ Marcus Santoro has spent over a decade carving out a distinct sound rooted in melody, depth, and evolution. Yet through every stage of his journey, one guiding force has remained constant: feeling. With over 100 million streams to his name and the support of global icons such as Swedish House Mafia, Black Coffee, David Guetta, Diplo, and BLOND:ISH to name a few — alongside releases on revered labels like Axwell’s Axtone Records — Santoro has earned his place as one of Australia’s most exciting electronic exports. His music blends the richness of melodic house with a pulse of Afro-inspired rhythms, creating tracks that connect equally on the dance floor and in the heart.
2024 and 2025 have marked defining years for Santoro’s artistry. From releasing ‘Nowhere’ with Nico de Andrea on Armada Music, and expanding into new territory with ‘Haunted’ alongside Lohrasp Kansara on MDLBeast/Resound, and a re-imagining of the classic Opus III anthem ‘Fine Day’ with Nicky Romero under his Monocule project on Protocol Recordings. Early 2025 saw the release of ‘The World’ on BLOND:ISH’s Abracadabra imprint with Presi On & Renate, which debuted in the Top 10 on Beatport’s Afro House chart. Shortly after, his single ‘Pinnacle’ surged to #3 on the ARIA club chart, further solidifying his status both locally and abroad. Santoro’s refined studio output has translated into a celebrated touring resume, with performances spanning both domestic and international stages. From playing Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival alongside Martin Garrix and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, to headlining
Marquee and Café del Mar, and hand-picked support for Above & Beyond, he has carved out a presence on some of the world’s most iconic lineups. Driven by craft, authenticity, and the pursuit of emotion, Marcus Santoro continues to push boundaries as a producer and performer— a defining voice in the next chapter of melodic house music.
