Amsterdam’s Marco Nobel partners with Lucky Luke for a brightly charged dance pop Armada Music release that opens hitting hard with the message, “let me tell you something right – if you focus on results you will never change, but if you focus on change you’ll always get results.”
Simultaneously Marco announces a multi-track deal with the legendary Dutch label right in time for ADE. ‘Different’ isn’t just club anthem that mixes nicely with Fred Again… – it’s a wake-up call wrapped in a four-minute track. Nobel’s core message cuts through to something most people never stop to think about: when you’re obsessed with results, you actually prevent yourself from changing.
Here the EDMArmy’s philosophy lesson of the day. When you focus on results, you’re trying to win at a game that already exists. You follow the established playbook, measure yourself against known standards, and optimize what’s already there. It feels like progress because you’re getting better – but you’re just becoming a more polished version of what you already were. That’s not real change. That’s improvement within the same box.
But when you focus on change itself – on actually doing things differently, thinking differently, questioning the whole setup – results start showing up on their own. You’re not asking “how do I get better at this?” anymore. You’re asking “what if this whole approach is wrong?” That’s when things get interesting. That question takes you places that playing it safe never could.
The second part of Nobel’s philosophy is where it gets deeper. “If you focus on change you’ll always get results” doesn’t mean you’ll always win. It means you’ll always learn something. Real change is experimentation. Even when an experiment doesn’t work out, you’ve gained something – you know what doesn’t work, where the limits are, what’s actually possible. Results aren’t just wins and losses anymore. They’re information. Growth. Evolution. When you commit to genuine change, you can’t stay stuck. You’re either moving forward or discovering why a particular path doesn’t work, which still moves you forward.

Marco Nobel
In 2021, Marco turned his full attention to releasing records again for a continuous string of powerful singles. Amassing more than 100 million streams in just 3 years and a fast-growing catalog shows that he is just getting started. After gaining massive support remixing hits, boasting collaborations with Lil Wayne and Juicy J amongst others, Nobel has recently turned on his own production prowess. The numbers tell one story, but it’s Nobel’s commitment to evolution that sets him apart in an industry often trapped by formula.
Nobel’s 2023 kicked off with a big performance at EDC Mexico, followed by a packed summer tour including Ultra Europe and Tomorrowland. Marco keeps pushing forward in style with performances spanning Barcelona’s vibrant club scene, Bangkok’s explosive electronic music community, and Miami’s legendary venues. The global touring circuit has become Nobel’s laboratory – testing new material, reading crowds, and refusing to settle into predictable sets.
The multi-track deal with Armada Music represents a significant milestone. Armada, founded by Armin van Buuren, Maykel Piron, and David Lewis, has a legacy of nurturing artists who value artistic integrity alongside commercial success. For Nobel, the partnership offers both creative freedom and the infrastructure to amplify his message globally. ‘Different’ with Lucky Luke is just the beginning of this experiment.
