Martyn

Martijn Deijkers, known as Martyn, is a Dutch electronic music producer and DJ. He gained attention with Great Lengths (debut) and later released Ghost People and the more recent Voids. He has released music on and worked with labels such as 3024, Brainfeeder, Ninja Tune and Ostgut Ton.

Reviews note Martyn's shift across genres (garage, dubstep, techno, house, drum and bass), his debut Great Lengths (2009), Ghost People (Brainfeeder) and The Air Between Words (Ninja Tune), and that Voids revisits earlier sounds and engages with mourning (reference to the loss of DJ Marcus Intalex). 3024 is associated with Martyn in distribution and label activity.

Two analytical reviews of Martyn highlight a return to earlier sounds and a mix of garage, dubstep, techno, house and drum and bass. Voids is read as a personal record processing loss; Ghost People is seen as a dancefloor-focused, headphone-oriented work. Overall the coverage is appreciative with measured criticism.

For:Fans of electronic music (techno, dubstep, house), DJs, producers and attentive listeners seeking concept albums and production-focused records.
