Martyn

Martyn is a Dutch producer and DJ whose album Music for Existing is brought to the stage at The Jazz Cafe in London, performed with an ensemble of improvising musicians.

Martyn is a Dutch producer and DJ active since 2005, with roots in drum and bass and dubstep. Early releases appeared on the Hyperdub and Tectonic labels, followed by work for Ninja Tune and Ostgut Ton, while the artist also runs the 3024 imprint. The debut album, Great Lengths, came out in 2009 on Brainfeeder.

For eight years the artist hosted the NTS radio show Darkest Light, dedicated to dark jazz. The album Music for Existing now takes shape on stage with an ensemble of improvising musicians, combining club-based bass music and the loose interplay typical of jazz. The Jazz Cafe is a London venue that hosts concerts and shows, and the evening will appeal to listeners drawn to jazz-influenced electronic music.
