From the underground clubs of Zaragoza to sharing the stage with the world’s biggest DJs, Marzziano has built a career rooted in passion for electronic music. Now based in Marbella, he’s not only an established DJ and producer but also the driving force behind Aparenzza Music, a label that embodies his evolving sound and vision.
Marzziano’s love for electronic music began in the early 2000s when he discovered Florida135, one of Spain’s most iconic clubs. Inspired by the energy and creativity of the scene, he started DJing at local events before making a name for himself in the industry. But beyond performing, he wanted to create something lasting—a brand that would reflect his musical identity.
“The idea of the record label and the vision I had at that time was to be able to transmit the musical style that I usually put into my performances and take it to events and releases to create a hallmark,” he explains. “The only way was to create Aparenzza Music first as a record label and then take it to the dance floor.”
Marzziano describes Aparenzza Music as a “cosmopolitan label,” drawing from his own influences and experiences as a DJ. The label’s identity isn’t confined to a single genre; instead, it embraces a diverse range of house and techno sounds.
“We try to adapt to the times and to what the artists demand! That’s why we are quite broad in terms of styles... Tomorrow, we can release a house track, and the following month, a minimal deep tech record full of glitches and dark sounds—but always within certain auditory parameters.”
This flexibility has allowed Aparenzza to grow, attracting artists from all over the world while maintaining a distinct character.
Marzziano’s journey has taken him from some of Spain’s most influential clubs—Fabrik, Industrial Copera, Café del Mar, Olivia Valere—to major international stages. In 2021, he performed at Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), and in 2022, he embarked on his first world tour, playing in the United States, Colombia, Ecuador, and Thailand.
This global experience has shaped his approach as a label boss. “Today, it’s about expanding the sound of the brand further around the world by counting on as many artists as possible from different parts of the planet.”
While Aparenzza has hosted some incredible events, Marzziano admits there’s still work to be done before achieving that ultimate “goosebumps” moment. However, upcoming collaborations might just make that happen.
“The event in February with The Martinez Brothers could be one of those moments,” he says. “It’s going to be a big party—the venue, the promoter (Booth and Alib), and of course, Los Martinez. And while we were doing this interview, another event was confirmed—we’ll be doing a show with Marco Carola on March 23! So, amazing things ahead.”
Looking forward, Marzziano’s goal is to continue expanding Aparenzza Music worldwide. “We were in Thailand and Bali last year, in the UK, and now we’re starting in Colombia and Peru. We’re planning to return to Asia and, of course, Europe. Soon, we’ll have more to share.”
While firmly rooted in electronic music, Marzziano envisions a broader future for Aparenzza. “I’d like it to not only be classified as an electronic music brand but to also explore other genres. When I was younger, I loved rap, rock, heavy metal… Nowadays, I like almost everything, so in the future, I’d love to work with other styles too.”
When asked about advice for newcomers, Marzziano keeps it simple: “Lots of patience and daily work.”
As for what’s next, the focus is on growth—more releases, new collaborations, and taking Aparenzza Music to even more countries. And for those who have been part of the journey so far, Marzziano has one final message:
“Thank you. The door is always open for you to return to Aparenzza Music.”
