MARTYN DJ (Washington D.C.)
3024 / Tectonic / Warp / Tempa
Artist Link (http://3024world.blogspot.com)
Martyn has provided body moving funk to the dance floors since the mid nineties. A love for Detroit techno, Chicago house and hiphop fueled his need to be seriously involved in music. When exposed to drum & bass in 1995, Martyn was destined to take things further musically and began to lay the foundations of his career as a DJ, producer and promoter.
In 2005, Martyn’s own productions started surfacing in the drum & bass scene, and in Autumn of 05 the first high profile releases for Martyn made it to the shops on play:music and Marcus Intalex’ Revolve:r imprint. In 2007 Martyn took the world by surprise with“Broken” and “Shadowcasting”, a sizzling dubstep 12” release that came out on Revolve:r. These two tracks were definitely a breakthrough for Martyn into the wider dance music scene, as his music is now being recognized by dj’s in the techno, house and dubstep world. His tracks have been receiving healthy radio- and dj-play by great names such as Gilles Peterson, Mr. Scruff, Ricardo Villalobos, Laurent Garnier, Ame, Mark Pritchard, Skream, Kode9, Flying Lotus, The Bug, Pole, Attias, Luciano, Underground Resistance and Appleblim of Skull Disco. Full of musical ideas, Martyn finished an EP for Revolver, a 12” for Appleblim’s Applepips label, and his remix for Leeds-based Hessle Audio instantly turned Martyn into a highly in-demand remixer. Over the course of 2008, he remixed Black Pocket (aka Steve Spacek), Shut Up and Dance, Flying Lotus (on Warp), Shed (on Ostgut Ton) and remix for Ican (planet E, UR). With every release his fusion of techno, dub and dusty old samples receives more exploration.
Teaming up with old friend Erosie (one of Europe’s most talented and well known street artists), Martyn started his own label 3024 in November of 2007. The label is a playground for all the music (in various styles) Martyn is producing and collaborations with other artists. The first release came out in december 2007 : “Velvet” and “Twenty Four”, and was followed up in June 08 by “Natural Selection” and “Vancouver”. Both these releases received an enormous amount of good press and dj/radio play, and were followed by two impressive remixes (on 3024-003) by Flying Lotus and fellow dutchman 2562. With release no. 004 a solo release by 2562, no. 005 is Martyn’s debut album “Great Lengths” – an exploration of his diversity as a musician, set for release on April 20th 2009. As a DJ, Martyn has played illustrous venues such as Berghain, Robert Johnson, Fabric, Plastic People, Watergate, The End, Cielo, Club Love and festivals like BLOC, Mutek, Iceland Airwaves, Lowlands and Sonar. He is also a regular at Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder events.

MOVE D DJ (Heidelberg)
Source Records / Modern Love / Warp
Artist Link (http://www.myspace.com/moufang)
If talent converted into record sales, David Moufang would be a very rich man. His releases with Jonas Grossmann (Deep Space Network) and solo efforts under the Move D disguise are amid the furthest outreaches of techno's trip to the stars. He grew up in Heidelberg with a parents' collection of Pink Floyd and Kraftwerk records, but the most overwhelming sway was a trip to the cinema to see Kubrick’s space odyssey. Two piano-playing grandmothers, drum and guitar lessons later, Move D discovered techno. When Moufang stepped into a club the first time, discovering Detroit, 808 State and first stirrings of ambient, he was sold. Source Records was founded tersely afterwards. Ranging from subtle, Detroitish grooves to wired electronic jazz and deep house poetry, it culminated in a recently re-released debut long player, Kunststoff. Now, Move D produces applauded 12"s for Workshop, Modern Love or Philpot, complementing the skills of the versatile and fleet-footed DJ he is.

VOODEUX feat. KiloWatts & Tanner Ross Live (Philadelphia/Boston)
mothership / dirtybird
Artist Link (http://www.myspace.com/voodeuxmusic)
Described as ‘Halloween on wax’ Voodeux is the human manifestation of creepy house and techno. James Watts (AKA KiloWatts) and Tanner Ross’s collaborative black magic goes back six years when they met online at a website devoted to music synths and production and have been collaborating ever since. Voodeux draws on genuine elements of mystery and intrigue evident in their production process. Like a ghost that only shows up once the photo develops there is a presence on their production that is greater than the sum of its parts.
The Voodeux project’s public metamorphosis began with The Curse EP, which came out last year on Mothership. Off the back of the success of this EP, label honcho Claude VonStroke suggested an album along the same spooky theme. Referring to the name of the project Tanner explains: ‘At the time I was watching this crazy ass video of Screaming Jay Hawkins doing “I Put A Spell On You” and he was dressed up in this wild Voodoo type costume and I thought… “THATS IT! VOODOO”
Previously, Tanner Ross, a music synthesis major at esteemed music school Berklee in Boston, had met Justin Martin and Claude VonStroke at WMC 06 and gone on to remix monster classic ‘Who’s Afraid Of Detroit’ on dirtybird. ‘Claude VonStroke showed me the light!’ he jokes. Tanner Ross is also known for his and KiloWatts remix of Lovely Day on OM Records and the hugely popular Lower Allston EP (under his Marcel Wave moniker) on Freerange. He is a self -confessed vintage horror film aficionado.
Jamie Watts (AKA KiloWatts) is an accomplished producer with a formidable discography spanning labels like Artificial Music Machine, Harmonious Discord, Thoughtless Music and his own outlet KilloWatts Music. He has produced five full albums to date, embodying several different projects and styles. His work embraces the bulk of electronic genres, including breaks, IDM, techno, and downtempo.
The result of this potent concoction of the pair’s influences and technical wizardry is a hypnotic spell over the senses shrouded in suspense and the unexpected. Resonate with a modern day soundtrack to a slasher movie, Voodeux are about to creep under your skin with a chilling tale of eerie house and minimal techno that will haunt you long after you’ve left the club.

PEZZNER Live (Seattle)
Freerange / Om
Artist Link (http://www.myspace.com/pezznermusic)
Up until 2008 Dave Pezzner was virtually unknown to the electronic dance music community, aside from his works in the duo “Jacob London." For 16 years he cut his chops with partner Bob Hansen, creating eccentric house and break beat rhythms often crossing the lines between bad-ass, funky and hilarious. Jacob London has credited over 15 vinyl releases and over 30 remixes shipped worldwide, on labels like Classic, Free the Funk, Doubledown, and U-Freqs.
In the winter of 2008, Pezzner took to his own studio to begin work on his first solo output composing songs that are more serious, with an abstract artistic sensibility. Quickly Dave’s catalog began to materialize with a signature sound: Lofty percussive themes with intentions to create hypnotic soundscapes for the body as well as the brain.
It wasn’t long before Pezzner found his first 5 songs scooped up by London-based Freerange Records, covering the first two EP’s of his career, “Other Lover” and the epic three-part masterpiece “Almost Here.” These two EPs garnered him massive support from artists as varied as John Digweed, Laurent Garnier, Peter Kruder, Steve Bug and Ben Watt, setting up Pezzner as a producer on the rise.
These first two releases laid a solid foundation for his career and follow-ups are now in the pipeline on San Francisco's Om Records imprint, London’s Urbantorque Recordings, plus another EP for Freerange. In addition to his work as an electronic music artist, Dave has composed music for television, advertisements, and games, including works for American Idol, The Discovery Channel, Nordstrom, and T-Mobile.
He also has an arsenal of remixes forthcoming for heavyweights including Josh Wink, Mark Farina, and Mike Monday. Its a dizzying number of releases for an emerging artist, but now that Pezzner’s stepped out on his own, he’s definitely got a lot to say.
