Along with 2562, Martyn is the most recognizable face of the Dutch dubstep scene. He first made an impression in 2005 with a couple of singles that garnered him immediate underground applause for the way he seemingly managed to integrate both techno and jungle/drum-n-bass techniques into the then fledgling sounds of dubstep. Further singles and a relentless DJ schedule only added to his increasing profile, culminating with the release of his critically lauded debut album Great Lengths in 2009. He contributed to the Fabric DJ-mix series with its 50th volume, released the following year.
