the whole biography
As an explorer of several sonic palettes since the mid-90s, Martyn's aesthetic traces back to his roots in UK-originated hybrids of bass music with an added flavour of Detroit-influenced jazz. But these days, Martyn is more than just a DJ and producer. His work spans multiple projects, from mentoring emerging artists to platforming new producers through his 3024 label. In 2007, he co-founded 3024 alongside Erosie. The duo have released a celebrated body of work from Jacques Greene, Leon Vynehall and Martyn himself, including Martyn's collaborations with Spaceape and OM Unit. Remixes supplied by Ben Klock and Flying Lotus have also left a stamp on the label's collection. Recently, 3024 has signed fresh talents, including Otik and TSVI / Anunaku. Most 3024 signees stem from Martyn's Artist Mentoring Program on Patreon. Launched in 2020, he uses the Program to mentor producers at all stages by offering one-to-one lessons, group sessions and Q&As with renowned figures like Luke Slater, Skee Mask and dBridge. Martyn connects the Program with 3024 by releasing a selection of his student's work on V/A compilations. The pandemic allowed Martyn to rethink archaic structures in dance music and help producers looking to break into the industry. Whilst on tour in 2022, Martyn meets his students to nurture genuine student-teacher connections. An essential element in Martyn's work, he firmly believes this is a modern, healthy way to support the next generation of artists in electronic music. Like his productions on Ostgut Ton, Brainfeeder and Intercept, Martyn's style of DJing is uncategorizable. He's performed worldwide and helms a residency at Panorama Bar in Berlin, and on the radio, his monthly 'Darkest Light' show on NTS offers a glimpse into his far-reaching world. As Martyn's story unfolds, he keeps community in mind. This is Martyn's post-pandemic way of treating his craft, whether it's co-running 3024, teaching on the Mentoring Program or producing music. Martyn views his work through a conscious lens while blending all disciplines—an approach set to prevail for the entirety of his career.Their RA profile lists Ninja Tune, Warp Records, Ostgut Ton, Hyperdub and 6 more.Recently at public records, Nowadays, Bossa Nova Civic Club · often with rrao, Doygen, Gavsborg, none of them here that night

Viiaan, producer, record collector, dj and co-founder of Voragine, label and platform under which she promotes the work of artists who work both in the field of experimental electronics, and within the club sound. Although she is unwilling to pin down a specific style to define her work, she is inclined to dark ambient and techno. Her music is a complex and evocative sonic experiment. In her mix-tapes she seamlessly integrates Classic House, Experimental Techno and Drum & Bass, and Breaks. She also draws influence from ambient, industrial and arabic music. Over the last two years her works appeared on compilations like Lowmute and Desembocadura, where she touches on subjects such as migration problems finding inspiration in film, art and literature. She launched her first EP Discromía in 2017 on Maladolescenza and her second EP Shimonoseki at the beginning of January 2020 via SNU. She is currently working on various collaborations and is about to release music on the Uk META MOTO record label, and Extasis Records.Their RA profile lists Voragine, QEONE and Causal Chain.Recently at Honey's, 99 Scott Ave, Good Room · often with Retter (DE), Brusco, Rafush, none of them here that night
“kels is a triple threat: dancer, digger, and DJ.”
their own biography
the whole biography
kels is a triple threat: dancer, digger, and DJ. She had her musical upbringing in Detroit, where she danced for 13 years surrounded by the people who gave birth to the music and values that exposed her to different realms. Being present and sensitive trained her ear and took her musicality to the next level. In 2018 she started her party and mix series maneater - where she cultivated unique line ups that connected many talented DJ’s to share music in spaces that allowed them to shine. Maneater moved with her to Brooklyn in 2019 where it has continued to draw crowds to clubs and underground spaces alike. Meanwhile, kels continues to DJ independently at venues across the States including Public Records, Spot Lite, Dante’s HIfi, Hot Mass, and Nowadays. She recently launched a new residency at Nightmoves, a club designed by LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, where you can find her playing an extended five hour set each month. As a former elementary school teacher of eight years, kels brings her empathetic nature and magnetic spirit to the turntables every time she steps into the booth. kels is an agent of change always pushing community to the forefront aka connecting the cuties. Her musical thought process, practicality, and genre fluid vinyl collection will take your heart on the voyage you deserve - if you’re open to it.Recently at public records, Mansions, Signal · often with Shawn Dub, Mike Servito, Titonton Duvanté, none of them here that night
