What their label says...

‘Fabric 50’ is a thrilling, unpredictable portrait of today‘s all-embracing and cross-
pollinating music scenes. Powered only by the common link of bass culture, Martyn
fuses the deep impact of 2562 and Kode 9, the funky step of Roska and Uncle
Bakongo, wildly imaginative creations from Hudson Mohawke and Joy Orbison,
and the cerebral trip of Werk Discs’ Actress. Also glittered with his own 3024
label creations, this is a definitive snapshot of any pulsating, incandescent dancefloor
taken over by the Martyn sound.

Martyn‘s first forays into the music world were in promotion, where he started a
drum & bass club night called Red Zone in Holland, which quickly rose to become a
hugely successful cult-followed night, booking the biggest D&B DJs in the scene.
With beginnings in drum & bass, Martyn‘s first release was on a division of Marcus
Intalex’s D&B imprint Soul:r - Revolve:r, his label for the more experimental side
of things. From Martyn‘s very beginnings, it was clear that he was different, bridging
the gap between sounds and blurring the lines between genres.
His productions have since landed on Aus Music, Apple Pips and Tectonic, and
his remixes have appeared on a wide variety of the most enviable labels including
Hotflush Recordings, Hessle Audio, Tempa, Ostgun Ton and Warp Records.
His own 3024 imprint is a forward-thinking platform for Martyn‘s imaginative
productions, and has also been home to an EP from the cult-worshipped dub /
dubtechno artist 2562.

Martyn‘s debut album, ‘Great Lengths’ was undoubtedly one of the most
anticipated albums of 2008, and became a beautifully vibrant sensation with critics
and fans alike. With percussive rhythms and deep, swallowing basslines, the singles
‘Vancouver’, ‘These Words’ and ‘Right?Star!’ were permanent fixtures in DJs‘
boxes across the board, as well as radio airwaves.

As a DJ, Martyn has spread throughout the club circuit, with a globe-spanning tour
schedule that varies from the biggest festivals in the world to the most underground
events.
