Martyn

Dutch-born Martijn Deijkers, aka Martyn, has always stood in a scene of his own. 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. Recently, 3024 has signed fresh talents, including Otik and TSVI / Anunaku. Most 3024 signees stem from Martyn's Artist Mentoring Program. Launched in 2020, he uses the Program to mentor producers at all stages and he connects it with 3024 by releasing a selection of his student's work on V/A compilations. 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.
