Marcus Sur aka Marcus Frankowski started early discovering his passion for music. At the age of 15 he founded his own band, where he - first as singer, later as bass player - inspired the audience in numerous concerts. In the late 90s he exchanged the bass for 2 record players and started djing in some clubs in the Ruhr area.

At this stage he didn't want to commit to any music style. Bored by the stagnation in Hardcore and Crossover he quickly found a new home in the revolutionarily developing electronical music scene.

His design study led him to Essen where he soon got gigs in the legendary House Club "Rote Liebe".
As resident DJ in the Essen Club Baikonur he also used to be an essential musical consultant and trend scout. During a Genlog live-gig at Baikonur he met Oliver Kuntzer.
They both decided to produce tracks together which they released with the Bochum Pottheads Label under the artist name Max Mars.

Already the 1st release named "Stop the Junk" got placed on top in the DDC. DJ gigs in France, Switzerland, Austria and Germany foolowed. At the same time the Potthead label vanished the musical direction of Marcus Sur changed as well.

He started to build up his own studio trying own productions.
During a DJ gig in Bochum he met Jiri Katter, who just released his first record with his own label Electyle Recordings. After some more releases Marcus decided to come in Electyle being a label partner. Further releases followed with Electyle.

Since 2008 he found a new home with Highgrade Records where he already released a few tracks. In 2009 he started to release on KENO Records & on the Cologne based label Trapez. He did some remixes for artist like Butch on MyBestFriend Records and come back to his roots to be a musical consaltant for the gold club in essen.

The year 2010 marcus sur get attantion by promoters around the world. he played in brasil on great fesivals like FUSION and got interviews by canadian magazins.
