He went on to get his first co-production credit on Eno's album ''Nerve Net'' in 1992 and they subsequently worked together on many productions including 12" remixes for Depeche Mode, The Grid, and 808 State. He has worked on several notable albums, including Björk's ''Homogenic'', James's ''Wah Wah'', and three Arcade Fire albums ''Neon Bible'', ''The Suburbs'' and ''Reflektor''.

According to Markus: "Chris Martin called me and told me he had a conversation with Win Butler, who suggested, He'll kick you into shape, which was poetic for "He will do his utmost in helping you to develop your artistic horizon".

In conjunction with Kobalt Music Group, Dravs has started up a publishing and production company called Casa-D. According to Markus "The idea behind Casa-D Productions is to form a creative hub, from which I can collaborate with other musicians, top line writers and lyricists to write and/or produce new songs both for other artists and for release ourselves via Casa-D." Markus Dravs has produced the highly anticipated third album from Florence + the Machine, entitled ''How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful'', which was released on the 1st of June 2015. He has also co-written two tracks on the album, "Queen of Peace" and "Various Storms & Saints". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Markus Dravs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
