A new year often brings new directions, and for Marco Weber, 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal chapter. With momentum building and creativity in full flow, he sits down to talk about what’s next: the goals, the ideas, and the projects that will define his year ahead.
What key lessons or shifts from 2025 are shaping how you’re approaching 2026?
2025 was the year when AI and new tools made everything faster, but also more generic. It really confirmed for me that my value as an artist isn’t in speed, but in my signature. In 2026, I want to use technology consciously without losing my human intuition and musical identity.
When you think about 2026, what excites you most about the projects or ideas you’re planning to explore?
I’m really excited to keep releasing music that strongly responds to the dancefloor — tracks that are born out of real club nights. For me, 2026 is about bringing the studio and the club even closer together, so every production creates a real physical reaction.
Are there any creative directions or sounds you feel ready to lean into more in the new year?
I’m leaning more into my own sonic signature — certain grooves, basslines and atmospheres that feel instantly recognizable, rather than chasing whatever sound is trending.
Is there a personal or professional goal you’re setting for 2026 that feels especially important to you right now?
One of my main goals for 2026 is to release more music that has really been tested in the club. I want every track to be shaped from the perspective of the dance floor, not the algorithm.
How do you hope your project or brand will evolve over the next year compared to where it stands today?
I want my project to feel more focused and more recognizable. Not just ‘another DJ,’ but a clear sound, a clear energy, and a clear story behind everything I release and play.
Are there any collaborations, spaces, or industries you’re particularly interested in exploring in 2026?
I’m open to collaborations in any direction, regardless of genre. I’m especially excited to work more with vocalists again and keep a strong human element in my music. Live collaborations really interest me as well, and there are already a few ideas starting to take shape.
What does “growth” look like for you in the year ahead, creatively, culturally, or commercially?
For me, growth is about building a community and a culture around music, not just chasing streams. I want people to feel like they’re part of something when they connect with my project.
Is there something you’ve been holding back on that 2026 feels like the right time to finally pursue?
I’ve held back for a long time from fully realizing my vision — not just musically, but structurally as well. 2026 feels like the right moment to build my own platform and present my sound and the artists around me the way I truly envision it. Something important is starting to take shape. 2026 will be the year I deliberately hold back certain tracks to launch this new chapter with my own label in 2027.
How do you want audiences to experience your work differently in 2026?
In 2026, I want my sound to feel even more physical and immediate. I want people to really feel it in their bodies — less distraction, more focus on groove, tension, and the energy in the room. My goal is to create moments on the dance floor that are raw, immersive, and genuinely shared between me and the crowd.
If you could describe your vision for 2026 in one sentence, what would it be?
2026 keeps me focused on depth over hype — creating music and experiences that really connect.
With clear vision and ambition for 2026, Marco Weber is entering his next phase with focus and intent. Whether through new music, evolving sounds, or fresh opportunities, one thing is certain: this is just the beginning of what’s to come.
