Martijn ‘ten out of ten’ Velden, ‘the Man of the Moment’, has by now established himself as a leading DJ/producer on a global level. His innovative and ever changing productions and remixes have been topping dance charts for years and have earned him the respect from jocks like Roger Sanchez, Deep Dish and Steve Lawler. So it comes as no surprise that Martijn was nominated for ‘Best Artist’ and ‘Outstanding Remix’ at last year’s House Music Awards.

Martijn now plays his deep and twisted electro house sets to crowds all over the world. Renaissance in London, Redlight in Paris, Peppermint in Dubai, Godskitchen and M.O.S. are just some of the places you can find Martijn playing or a regular basis.

Martijn must be one of the most enthusiastic DJs out there and was noted by Cooljunkie for his energy ‘..he smiles, he dances and sends out this vibe like he knows what you’re feeling while he spins, he’s in total harmony with the crowd.

With a renowned background in hip hop and funk, Martijn has crafted his own recognizable sound which is undeniably funky yet tribal with electro overtones. As one major fan put it ‘bye bye soulful house, welcome to the dark side, shamone motherf****rs!

Keen to keep his name in the headlines, Martijn now spends most of his time working on solo productions and remixes, with some exciting collaborations planned later in the year.. watch this space.
