He also became a dj of this electronic music as a teenager, beginning with disco house and deep tech, on vinyl records, at small local raves. He later threw his first underground rave at 19.⁣ ⁣ Over the years Marcel continued to learn other styles of dance, international genres of music, and different forms of percussion from Brazil, The Caribbean, the Middle East, India, West Africa, and other parts of the world, and incorporates these sounds into his dj performances.⁣ ⁣ As a dancer, dj, and percussionist, Marcel has been immersed in music and dance culture in various parts of the world; Croatia, Jerusalem, Tulum, Andalucía, Rome, Havana (Cuba), Greece, and other locations.⁣ ⁣ Marcel was the first resident dj for Open House in Los Angeles, Days like this in Oakland, and House Dance Sacramento, dj’ing primarily for dancers, and has performed with Louie Vega, Osunlade, Nickodemus, Oveous, Juliet Mendoza, Kapela, Coflo, Adam Gibbons, Selectress Iriela, Oscar P, Ezel, and many other renowned dj’s and music producers at danced based events, events like Soul Camp, Mi Casa Holiday in Tulum, and Mera Mera Conexion Housera in Mexico City.⁣ ⁣ ~~~~~⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ // We are Ecstatic Dance Midtown-Sacramento! //⁣⁣ Ecstatic Dance Midtown-Sacramento is a DJ led community dance gathering. ⁣It is NON-VERBAL on the dance floor.⁣ It is an alcohol free, family friendly event.
