Martyn - 'Ghost People' Out Now

Martyn - 'Ghost People' Out Now

Posted on 10/10/2011

Martyn's new album Ghost People is out now worldwide on Brainfeeder.

Over his 15 years DJing, 6 years producing, and 4 years A&Ring his 3024 imprint, the Holland-born/Washington DC-based artist has forged his own path every step of the way. His multi-leveled career has kept balance with a focus on art, and his every sacrifice is preserved in an endless dedication to music. As a continual record buyer and beat seeker, Martyn is a beacon of hope through leagues of passion-less DJs and producers, the ‘ghost people’: plastic, hollow shells that focus only on the in-the-now grooves or keeping in line with trends.

As Martyn himself says, "My last album, ‘Great Lengths’, was very personal. A lot of the music and the themes behind it were taken out of my daily life: my sorrows and my melancholy. For this album, I chose things that are further away from me: the ‘Ghost People’ theme. There are references to DJing in general. Not the jet-set DJ life, but the old Paradise Garage DJ life, where people want to share and play the music they really love, regardless of if it’s trendy. Nothing fancy or flashy. Just back to the roots."

Ghost People is available now on 2LP white vinyl, CD and download from the Ninjashop and iTunes. Watch the Konx-om-Pax directed video for "Viper" below.
