Hailing from Juneau, Alaska, Marlon Lumba aka Astronomar was brought up on a eclectic record collection comprised of Steely Dan, MF Doom and Switch. After relocating to Los Angeles in his early twenties, Mar, as his friends like to call him, has become a mainstay in the US club scene. His 2013 remix of Wax Motif & Neoteric’s ‘Go Deep’ blew up after nightly plays from Skrillex & Boys Noize, including a play on Skrillex’s Essential Mix for BBC Radio1. The remix hype further propelled Mar to notable releases on tastemaker labels including Mad Decent, Fools Gold, OWSLA, Dim Mak, BNR Trax and his own label Main Course, which he co-founded w/ Bot (1/2 of legendary Crookers) & Neoteric. Mar’s magical touch has definitely not gone unnoticed, being called upon to craft remixes for other noteworthy artists including What So Not, RL Grime, UZ and Canblaster, which has sparked a cult like following for the Alaskan wunderkind. There’s no dance festival in the US absent of a fan sporting the unmistakable Main Course logo tee.
