Martyn is a Drum and Bass and Dubstep producer, originally from Eindhoven in the Netherlands. After helping start up an influential Drum and Bass night ‘Red Zone’ in his home city, together with Nymfo, Pressure & mc Jay, he turned his hand to producing, releasing a string of tracks and remixes for labels like Marcus Intalex’s Revolve:r and DJ Flight’s Play:Musik.
He has more recently turned his hand to producing other forms of electronic music, starting with the sublime ‘Broken’, a refreshing hybrid of Dubstep and Techno. He has also started his own label, 3024, which promises to further blur the lines between electronic music genres.
Taken from a Press-Release to “Great Lengths” - Martyn on himself/live and on his label 3024 he runs with Eosie:
I always like to think my stuff is ‘music for a warm but rainy day’
You know, low frequencies do something to your muscles when you listen
to them. There have been studies of low frequencies contracting your
muscles, and because they contract certain muscles you have the urge to
move, you know, to get rid of that itchy feeling in your arms and legs. So
that would be a reason to dance. I grew up in Eindhoven, and lived in Rotterdam
for five years, both cities are techno and drum & bass strongholds
in Holland, so I am quite sure this has influenced me. Especially Eindhoven,
which back in the day had ties with many Chicago and Detroit artists
through labels such as Djax and Eevolute, and various clubs and DJs in the
city. So, in the early 90s / mid 90s I saw many of those people play and
bought their records. I think what makes music interesting is when an artist
incorporates his/her influences and translates it into a unique sounding

I'm not getting the hype yet. IMO it's just regular minimal they play in boring clubs with a slight dubstep influence. Too bad, it could've been great.
