The first is an Electronic/Trance/Progressive Australian DJ MaRLo
Record labels: Spinnin, Armada, Flashover, Blackhole

Dutch born DJ and producer MaRLo who now calls Australia home, is a exciting and creative Producer/DJ.
The MaRLo sound is a signature blend of hands in the air moments with tech infused beats, encompassing influences of Trance, Techno, Tech-House and a mish mash of various other chunky sounds. MaRLo is not one to be pigeon holed, and his DJ sets can only be described as the "MaRLo sound".

MaRLo's studio trickery has seen him sign productions to trance super-labels such as Armada, Spinnin Records, Blackhole recordings, Flashover and many more.
Most impressively, his remix of Ferry Corsten- Brainbox is a dance floor destroyer and has been played by Ferry Corsten in every set since its release.
MaRLo's productions are always diverse, with no track sounding like the last, MaRLo has been able to gain a large and loyal fan base who are always ready to be surprised by his latest release. This diversity was recognised by world famous "Cirque du Soleil" when they asked him to produce and perform his own interpretation of their music at the massive Uitmarkt festival in Amsterdam. MaRLo's productions receive highly coveted respect and recognition, featuring on popular TV shows, reaching high rotation on FM radio stations and scoring Tune of the Month in "Mixmag", "DJ Mag" and "Tillate" for his track "MaRLo feat Kristen Marlo - Is it Real".

MaRLo tracks frequent the Beatport charts and are played by Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, Markus Schulz, Sander van Doorn, Ferry Corsten and many more.

As a DJ, MaRLo's sets echo the diversity of his releases and are heavily filled with his own productions. In 2010 he was voted Australia's #2 Trance DJ and asked to mix the Ministry of Sound Trance Nation vol 2 CD, which included a 14 date tour of sold out events. He has had the honour of playing to thousands of people from across the world at events such as Sensation, Trance Energy (Holland and Australia). Creamfields, Gatecrasher, Slinky, Godskitchen and many more.

Not your typical trance producer, MaRLo brings something fresh to the world of electronic music. With his achievements to date, a solid list of upcoming releases, collaborations, international gigs and a radio show in the works, it looks like there are no signs of things slowing down for the energetic MaRLo.

My favorite character in the show. Jaime Hector doesn't get enough praise for his portrayal, he's acting was top rank and brought so much nuance to the character. Marlo Stanfield is one of the best characters in the whole series who deserves a lot more recognition than he gets. His name is his name!!!!

@nekrataali

47w↑38

What I love about the character is how little emotion he displays, except when he's giving his "My name is my name!" speech. But Jamie Hector doesn't come off as flat or one dimensional. He perfectly conveys a cold, ruthless, predatory demeanor.

I think the only other person who has done this well in such a portrayal is Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh in "No Country for Old Men."

@danielebowman

I thought Marlo wasn't close to one of the best characters. The actor did well, but he always seemed to have so much plot armor on him and din'tdo a greta job of his passions or motivations. I know they tried to do the ironic poetic justice ending of him being unremembered, but like several threads in seaosn 5 (by far the weakest season, don't get me started on what they did with McNulty or Freeman), it didn't work. It would have worked more for Barksdale to come out of prison to realise no one remembered him on the streets. Avon was the character who most lived for the street.

People like Marlo are going to learn that there is a good reason to have rules in place. If the game is chaotic then only the meanest, the most cold hearted, and the most ruthless will come out on top. However, by rule there will always be someone who's willing to go the extra mile, be more savage, and cause more destruction to get to the top. If that means coming after you then that's how chaos works. People who don't care for the rules like Marlo fail to see that they're going to get old and comfortable; eventually will get slipping. The Italian mob knew a hundred years ago that no one is going to last long in the game if there isn't no organization. This is why they started a commission to settle disputes between the crime families.

@lightworker2956

42w↑12

Agreed. In reality "zero rules, zero morality, I Marlo demand absolute loyalty yet give none back" doesn't work in the medium term. Eventually that just leads to street warfare or to someone murdering him. Marlo's not immune to bullets and there's no such thing as the streets being 100% dominated and monopolized by one man.

@manniking233

44w↑4

That's the scary part. Marlo is so ruthless and has no personal attachments. He has also killed all traitors. All those apparent weaknesses got Stringer killed. Marlo lacks none of those and already entered the level of society Stringer wanted. Marlo is thus harder to kill on both counts: too isolated, too powerful. If Marlo got back in the game, the only thing that could end him was the police... And they only failed once and can't come with the same viciousness as before anymore. Marlo is proof morality doesn't matter, once you pursue only power and totally disregard it. That's the part that truly scares me.

The most jealous you can ever be is when you find someone who gets to watch The Wire for the first time. The second most jealous you can ever be is when someone gets to watch it for their second time 😭🤣😂

It's amazing how much the show transforms on subsequent re-watches. I hated the second season the first time I watched the show. By my third re-watch, I think season 2 is the best after 1 and 4. Season 5 isn't as good on those re-watches.

But The Wire's worst seasons and episodes are still better than anything else that's ever aired and remains the GOAT.

Just here to reiterate how The Wire is still in the top 3 best tv shows of all time and doesnt get anywhere enough credit for it. Its in fact SO good that anytime i think of rewatching it i give myself pause. Because this show devastated me.. literally drained the life out of me ha.
But the proof is in the pudding... i cannot remember a showing having THIS many stand out, nuanced and iconic characters both protagonist and antagonists.

I will never agree with this. Marlo WON! He's free, keeps his money and can live happily ever after should he choose. Avon is broke, hustling money from Marlo of all people and stuck in prison. Fuck that name shit and street shit it DOESN'T MATTER life isn't a video game these people don't respawn......

What makes Marlo “worse” than Avon, exactly? The fact that his organization was responsible for 22 deaths instead of 8? That Marlo thought it was more prudent to kill Prop Joe than to ignore him?

I think the hard truth is essentially what Poot argued in S4. The degrees separating Avon from Marlo are mostly negligible, in the last analysis. Stringer felt he had to kill Wallace, so he had it done. Marlo, likewise, does what he does because he feels he has to do it. But let us not forget that the most brutally cruel and vicious act we see committed in the entire series is a direct result of Avon’s orders. I’m talking, of course, about the torture and death of Omar’s boyfriend, Brandon, in S1. Almost all of Marlo’s kills, by contrast, are clean and painless (Butchie is briefly tortured by Chris and Snoop, but it doesn’t come close to what Brandon received at the hands of the Barksdale crew).

“The game doesn’t change. Just got fiercer.” I forget who says that in the show, but I think the quote sums up how “the show” wants us to think about Marlo. He doesn’t represent a qualitative shift in the nature of the game. He is just the best at playing it - the best of his generation. He’s the perfect apex predator for his environment. But it’s the same old hunt.

Reading that logic into Marlo’s final moments makes sense. It’s just back to square one. Building a power-base, one corner at a time.

@amarvalousstarttheconversation

This reminds me of the old Screenprism before the name change. No excessive women analysis, picking a show that is not wholly focused on just women themes and good classic analysis that makes you think. This is just how the channel was before the name change. And it is great. This was a great video and I trust The Take will at least restore more of the old channel and breakdown shows that are not just heavily women oriented. Don’t forget you have other appreciators of your work and it is not just women. I am even willing to sponsor some of the content if you can break down shows and movies that don’t alienate your male audience. Shows like Ozark, the rest of the Better Call Saul seasons. Those kinds of shows and breakdowns is what made me brag about this channel and its greatness before it turned super woke and overly politicized. This was a great video and i really would like to see more breakdowns that appeals to everyone and not just women. Thanks for your time!

You guys said it best!!! Out of everyone. Avon saw Marlo for who he really was and he tried to get everyone to see it as well but they wouldn’t listen to him and acted like he was the one being crazy in the streets. After he gets locked up again Prop Joe and everybody else gets reality literally slapped in their faces as to who Marlo truly is. A Disruptor. If they had just stood with Avon and ended Marlo, the streets would have been better for it. I think that’s why Avon gave the connect to Marlo he wanted to prove to everyone else like Prop Joe and them who Marlo truly is and it worked. Although the popular theory though is that in the end Avon still remained the TRUE KING and will most likely return to his crown as soon as he gets out, only now everyone would actually listen to him regarding Marlo, his ending may have been Ambiguous in the show, but not all that ambiguous actually if you really think about it, his days are numbered, plain and simple.

FINALLY! Its been years since the last wire video. Im still waiting on yal to do Bodie Broadus.

That being said. Im a little lost given what Simon had to say about Marlos ending. I thought Marlo going back to streets in the end meant he was going to get locked up. Remember Ronnie to Levy that if he so much as goes near the streets again he would be brought up on charges. Did I get it wrong in my interpretation?

@fitztaylor7658

The way this ends brings more levity to the phrase “the game is the game” each player has a specific fate within the game, as we see here Marlo ended up where Stringer wanted to be, the king staying king, but Marlo wasn’t interested in that, he was abusing his position in the game for his own right only to lack what Omar eventually gotten, his name being cemented in the streets. Which he was able to achieve occupying a different seat in the game.

It’s not just about knowing you’re in a game, it’s about fully understanding what piece you are on the chess board and maximizing your moves according to the seat you’re in
