Hi Marten, thanks for taking the time to speak with us. Tell us a bit of bit about your self, how did you first get into music and what has led you to grow to be the producer that you’re right this moment?

“Thank you for having me! Dance music has always been something that touched me deeply. After having a few other projects in Music and Music Business I ended up focusing all my love and attention on making House Music in 2018. My first House record ‘You Don’t’ (with Neon Steve) became a bit of an underground hit. And I started building from there.”

Tell us what it was like touring North America? You’ve actually blown up over the previous couple of years, what’s it been like seeing the response to your units in particular person?

“When I started North America was the continent that supported me first, when no-one car‹ed about my music anywhere else. I still have so much gratitude for that, North America is where my heart is! It’s been great to feel the love for my music and my live shows growing so much since then. But the best thing about it is that I can just be myself, play the music that makes me happy and do only the things that I want to do. I love it!”

What’s it been like taking part in some primary phases over the previous 12 months or so together with Tomorrowland and EDC? Was that one thing you ever dreamed would occur?

“I bear in mind writing these precise phrases on my final objectives listing:

‘EDC MAINSTAGE & TOMORROWLAND MAINSTAGE (LOL)’.

Note the (lol) behind it. It was an enormous dream however I by no means thought I might get there. I believe that explains fairly effectively the way it felt when it lastly did occur… hahah.”

Speaking of nice places, I heard you go to help David Guetta’s Ushuaïa residency. What was that like having a summer season dwelling that’s so iconic?

“It was another dream coming true. It’s the best party on the island and even in the whole world if you ask me. I love David for everything he has done for me.”

I heard you might have an inner clock hack and that you just at all times sleep in line with your house time zone in Germany. Tell us about that and the way you keep away from jet lag and different journey associated points like that?

“Hahahah, yes! I always stay in the German time zone, no matter where I am. If it’s 22:00 in Germany I go to bed. All schedules, meals, travel, etc. has to be planned & adjusted accordingly. And my team does an incredible job of making it all happen. With the life I get to live now jet lag & lack of sleep is the biggest obstacle. And everything has changed so much since we solved that. Its magic.”

What do you might have deliberate for the remainder of the 12 months and into 2024?

“I’m having a whole month of European shows ahead of me. Followed by my first big Asia Tour in December. Incredibly excited!”

When you’re not producing, what do you love to do in your free time? Any reveals on streaming or e book suggestions?

“I looooooooove cooking. It’s a big part of my life. But that also means that there is not much time for watching series or movies. So my recommendation is: Sit down and learn how to make epic food instead of burning time on Netflix! It will make you so much happier <3”
