..Biography..

As always the story starts somewhere. Martyro started playing techno in 2003, after he got captivated with this music in the beginning of this millenium. He has a history on energetic hardtechno. In time he favored the former Swedish and the more funky Italian 'Napoli'-techno. Nowadays he still plays driving and oldschool techno influenced by artists like Henrik B, Patrik Skoog, The Advent, Hardcell, Johan Bacto, Gaetano Parisio, Marco Carola, Adam Beyer, Chris Liebing, Eric Sneo and Dave Miller & Damian Keane to name a few.

Besides his side of driving and oldschool techno he loves to play funky and tribal 'Napoli' techno even more. Post millenium techno got him strongly influenced with the sounds from artists like Ben Sims, Cristian Varela, Eric Sneo, Joey Beltram, Technasia, Secret Cinema, DJ Link, A.Paul, Mark Broom, Samuel L Session, Spiros Kaloumenos and Invite till this day, as well as the former sounds of Marco Carola, Rino Cerrone, Danilo Vigorito, Gaetano Parisio, Deetron, Kobaya, Marko Nastic, Umek, Valentino Kanzyani, Remy, Preach and Hertz to name a few of his (past) favorites.

Martyro always keeps in mind that techno music is desired to be very danceable; expect driving loops, funky elements and climaxing breaks. Yet coherency is one of the key aspects always present in his sets. Still preferably playing vinyl at this moment and using persistent forward mixing and subtle efx he progressively advances his sets to achieve higher levels. Martyro always adjusts and builds up his sets taking into account the time and type of the night.
