The first album was FabricLive.35 in 2007, a mix compilation through the FabricLive series released by Fabric Nightclub in London. The second album was 21, which he released on his Soul:R label that he ran alongside ST Files (musician), in 2011, named in celebration of the 21st year of his career. In 2016, he released a podcast, RA.EX309 Marcus Intalex under the Resident Advisor label. In addition to his albums and podcast, as of 2014, he had released fifteen LPs under the name Marcus Intalex and ten further under the pseudonym Trevino, the latter focusing on house and techno. Kaye also released tracks with Mark XTC under their collective name "Da Intalex", a moniker taken from the name of their 1990s radio show. He has also released many remixes which include Better Place by 4 Hero (2001), Just A Vision by Solid State (2006), Faceless by Commix (2007) and LK by DJ Marky and XRS (2007).

Kaye began as a House DJ in 1991 under the name Marcus Intalex, before becoming known as an early adopter of the UK Drum and Bass sound in the city of Manchester. In 1993, Kaye and fellow DJ Mark XTC started the Drum and Bass radio show Da Intalex on Kiss 102 FM in Manchester, which they co-hosted until 2000.

He was also one of the first artists on the Hospital Records music label, as well as the founder of the recording label Soul:R, which he managed. He was also a cofounder of the label Revolve:r.
