FUTURE STRANGE

Marcus Lee is best known for his work as a co-founder of music group Future Strange and his performances as DJ Game Genie. After making a name for himself  as a performer in his home town of Sacramento, CA, Marcus moved to Reno, NV and became an integral contributor to the now infamous dubstep club “Wurk” as a resident DJ and talent buyer.  

Marcus dedicated his career to bringing world renowned artists to perform in his long time home of Reno NV. As both a performer and event producer, Marcus shared the stage with some of the biggest names in electronic music including TroyBoi, GJones, Kill The Noise, DieselBoy, Downlink, StookiSound, Protohype, and ConRank. 

As his talents grew so did the demand for his unique musical perspective. In 2013 Marcus helped co-found local music group Future Strange with whom he spent many years producing sold out events at The Knitting Factory, 1up Reno, Cargo Concert Hall, The Trocadero Bar and Ballroom, and most recently at The Bluebird Nightclub.   

The Future Strange mixtape series and record label releases have been heard around the world by hundreds of thousands of people, leading to invitations for Marcus aka “DJ Game Genie” to perform at some of the west coast’s most competitive nightclubs and music festivals including StillDream Festival, Bass Camp Festival, Trapacana Sacramento, Trap City San Francisco, Bass Mountain, and many more.

Besides his contributions to the music industry, Marcus was a beloved father, husband, and friend to many.  Those who knew him remember his great love for cooking, his cats Walter and Yoda, his dog Melody, his wife Yvonne, and his daughters Dayna and Emma.

On July 17th 2021, Marcus passed away. He will be missed dearly by the many people whose lives he impacted. 

Although Marcus may be gone, Future Strange lives on.
