MARRIO is the musical identity of Chicago-born Mario C., a house DJ and producer built on the contrast between dark and light. The sound splits into two distinct styles:

• MAR: The moody, subterranean shadow self defined by heavy, driving basslines.

• RIO: The euphoric light featuring jackin’ house and disco.

MARRIO delivers sets that fluidly weave these two energies back and forth on the dancefloor. As the founder of Speakeasy House Radio, he hosts and curates the monthly series live at Le Nocturne Chicago.
