Traveling to the south of England to watch DJ Harvey play a lengthy set, he saw the kind of power a DJ can wield over a willing crowd.In 2015, Marcus recorded a collaborative 4-track EP with Chet Faker. Titled ‘Work’, the EP was released on 4 December via Chet Faker’s own label, Detail Records. The EP features ‘Birthday Card’ (Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 first play, #1 Hype Machine, #6 triple j Hottest 100). ‘Learning For Your Love’ (Beats1 first play), ‘The Trouble With Us (#1 Hype Machine) and ‘Killing Jar’.
