Markandeya – 11/7
Markandeya (Marcus Berg) is a Swedish musician, singer, and producer currently living in the mountain village of Sopó, Colombia. His sultry vocals and deep bass lines are woven into an emotive soundscape that defines his signature heart-centered ethereal dub. His music invites listeners into an intimate world of delay and reverb-drenched fullness, exploring hypnotic minimalism and inner reflection.
Founder and lead singer of the eight-piece orchestra Kultiration, he was pivotal in shaping the Nordic modern roots scene, sharing stages with Midnite, Groundation, and Michael Franti.
Grounded in over a decade of Vedic studies and eastern philosophy Marcus embraced the artist name “Markandeya”, give to him by his teacher. In 2012 he debuted his first release as Markandeya, the Mirror of Words EP trilogy, bringing his vedic understanding into liquid sound with acoustic warmth and electronic innovation.
After meeting his Colombian wife Almunis (Lulacruza) in Bali, they formed Minük and released the internationally acclaimed Aurora (2020), performing across Latin America and Europe.
Markandeya has since released a number of EPs and albums such as Vision Dubs, diving deeper into space, delay, and reverb-drenched fullness. Markandeya is set to release the highly anticipated Dub Potential LP in 2025, featuring all-star collaborations with Alex Serra, Horace Andy and more.
