MARTYN, a Dutch DJ now based in Washington, has created a unique imprint throughout his journey. With 15 years of DJing, 6 years of production, and 4 years of artistic discovery within his 3024 label, not to mention numerous collaborations with Brainfeeder leader FLYING LOTUS, this exceptional DJ possesses a rare ability to bring together sounds that unite the audience. While his previous album focused on his sorrows and melancholy, "Ghost People" deals with a theme that, according to his own words, is more distant from him: that of "Ghost People," meaning artists who focus solely on current grooves or trends. He also interweaves references to individuals whose approach is the opposite, primarily wanting to share the music they love, disregarding fleeting fads. "Ghost People" falls into this second category. Created in collaboration with EROSIE, a visual and mural artist (formerly known for street art) and his partner at 3024, "Ghost People" is an album that draws from West London 2-step, Croydon dub roots, Detroit's mechanical grooves, Berghain's free vibes, and otherworldly Drum & Bass. The record honors the wild experimental spirit of the Brainfeeder label, astonishes with its avant-gardism, and dazzles with its audacity.
