With MaRLo being able to boast a track record that consists of countless Trance smashes and awe-inspiring fan favorites, there are few things he has yet to accomplish. But as the Australian Trance icon is always eager to innovate and push the envelope, it only makes sense for him to take the next step in his career, to augment his ‘Altitude’ brand by establishing his own label - Reaching Altitude - in collaboration with Armada Music and releasing its first single: ‘The Launch’.
“I’ve been given so much amazing music by so many talented artists and I want to help them get out there”, MaRLo explains. “Reaching Altitude is an outlet to support young, new and mainly Australian talent and help them get to the next level, whilst also remaining a platform for me to release my own music on. I’m so proud to present to you my new record label and I’m thrilled to have a platform to share not only my own music, but music from artists that I believe in as well.
Maykel Piron, CEO Armada Music: “We’ve been working with MaRLo for years and are thrilled to help him launch his label. He has always had a keen ear for sublime music and young talent with great potential and we feel that Reaching Altitude is the perfect way for him to pursue his dreams of helping others achieve greatness as well. We couldn’t be any more excited.”
MaRLo, who has already hosted four fully sold-out ‘Altitude 2017’ shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur this year, has been releasing music on Armada-related labels since 2009. Known for highly-acclaimed singles such as ‘Visions’, ‘Atlantis’, ‘Darkside’ and ‘You And Me’ as well as his seismic live sets at the world’s biggest festivals, the Dutch-born DJ and producer has been touted one of the best Trance artists in the world for years now. That alone proves that MaRLo keeps pushing himself to greater heights, which is exactly what he aims for with his new label and reinforced brand as well.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Congratulations to MaRLo for starting his own label Reaching Altitude with the obvious release The Launch. The track is typical of what we can expect by the able and very successful hands of MaRLo. Big room Dutch tech trance at its highest variety with thumping pulsating basslines, techy pumping drums, energetic full on effects and sweet and melodic breakdown with melodramatic synthy melody, sensitive piano chords and rising synthy riff coming to the surface building the tension towards the fun packed non stop party climax. Dominating trance power to take the global crowds by storm. This is unreal for sure. #PureGold Love it [/content]
