Stimming

( Live )

Few people bring a truly original sound to house music. It’s all very well making some nice grooves and working the dance floor but when it comes to longevity and leaving an indelible mark on the genre, you’ve got to bring something new to the table. At a young age, Hamburg’s Martin Stimming did just that, and has continued doing so for the past 10 years, “I want people to see me as an evolving artist, where you never know what exactly you get – but you know that it’s STIMMING.” The musician, who was already playing the violin, piano and drums as a child, began producing electronic music in his teens. He started releasing under Solomun and Adriano’s label, Diynamic Music, by his early twenties and his 2008 breakthrough hit, “Una Pena”, made the electronic world sit up and take notice. 2009 saw him release his immaculate debut album “Reflections” to great acclaim, fortifying his reputation as one of the most exciting new producers of his generation. Stimming‘s productions are filled with a multitude of his own unique, charismatic field recordings.Samples are never repeated and nothing is sacred; sources of sound have included a coffee machine, children’s toys, loose change, a vinyl pressing plant, a 22.000 HP ship engine and anIkea pizza cutter. His music continues to explore interesting and progressive territories with his trademark sense of texture, emotion and discovery.His remixes for the likes of Apparat, Claude VonStroke, Nina Kraviz, Stephan Bodzin and Robert Babicz to name a few, have also spread his influence amongst the discerning house and techno community, and cemented his reputation therein
