MAARToN is a sonic soul who’s musical DNA is rooted in house music back in the late 80’s. That’s where he started off, producing electronic music with a sampling keyboard, distortion unit and reel-to-reel tape recorder, back in his then hometown and birthplace Haarlem, Holland.
From 2012 he dedicated himself to the decks and from 2018 the programming of midi-controllers to be able to create a striking energy flow in his performance, evolving into his expressive signature techno sound and method “3+7”.
