In 2010 he was voted Australia's No. 2 Trance DJ and overall No. 11 in the Inthemix top 50 DJ Poll.  While he once used hardware synthesizers (e.g.Roland JP-8000, Nord Lead, Korg Wavestation, Novation Supernova, etc.) MaRLo now produces music almost exclusively on his computer

Transmission is a spectacular dance event that creates through a combination of electronic dance music, high quality equipment, special effects, live acts, and special scenography an unforgettable spectacular experience. Transmission distinguish itself compared to other regular dance events by its exclusive theme related story line which guides the visitors on a journey through out the whole night and by its spectacular laser and light show and huge Function One sound system. To introduce the artists, special tailor made ‘show movies’ and visuals are created by the Dutch award winning VJ team Vision Impossible.  Those intro movies are presenting the theme and story line and each intro movie leads to a new sub category of the theme. For these ‘Show Movies’ the lights, lasers and special effects (fireworks, co2, flames, i.e.) are pre-programmed in advance and are running on time-code.  Each sub category of the theme is supported with its own tailor made visuals, has subsequently adapted acts (if included) and has its own specific main light colour selection.

Transmission is currently recognized as one of the top indoor dance events worldwide and attracts every year thousands of visitors worldwide to its home base, the o2 arena in Prague.  Since 2014 Transmission is expanding abroad and the first international edition took place 15 March 2014 in the Slovakian Capital Bratislava. The music style Transmission represents is mainly progressive house and trance. One of the world’s leading DJ’s Markus Schulz can be seen as the un-official resident DJ of Transmission who also creates every year the official anthem for the new show of Transmission.
