Hi, I'm Martyn a professional and creative individual who is using primarily Native Instruments Maschine MK3 & DAW plus integrated industry leading plugins to create unique, mastered audio tracks within the genres of house music and EDM. I produce my own music and would love to work with you in addition. I'm native English....
If you are in need of some modern beats, vibes and the best sounding music then i would love to help!
Maybe you already have vocals that needs accompanying music?
Maybe you simply need a four to the floor beat laid out ?
Maybe your percussion needs some attention and creativity?
Synths, piano, wind, brass and all other instruments can add to the vibe and uniqueness of your track and enhance or underlay vocals.
Let me evoke and deliver a vibe for your music project that you deserve !
For a number of years i have been a DJ (DJ DIADO X) and take influence from both the underground and commercial industry/scenes. You can listen to some of my own works to get a good idea of instrumentals, beats, ideas, grooves and musical arrangements.
Included on this profile is a track i produced called "Baby Take Me Up". I have other examples of music from my portfolio (Love One Another, Hands On My Waist, In The Front) which are readily available for streaming on my website and Spotify, iTunes etc....plus more tracks such as "Roll With It", "Gotta Get You Off My Mind" and "Take Me From The Darkness" all releasing in early 2022.
If you would like more examples please do ask for additional samples of tracks to demonstrate more instruments, synth loops, beat & rhythms, basslines, ambient vibes and more.
Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: My own self produced music. Anything that get a like,share or comment on social media makes me proud. It just needs one person to connect to your music to make it worthwhile.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: My own self produced music. I just released my first ever EP and now working on an album for release in 2022
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: I am new to SoundBetter, so not at this time.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital because i like to provide higher sampling rates in my final output files. I have always done this myself (rightly or wrongly) so will not change my approach
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: 100% satisfaction with unique sound design(s), professional mastering. All communication is two way so from the start if we are on the same page each review/progress point will be a nice easy process to make changes and deliver the ultimate track for you. I promise to maintain communication when you need it. Professional all the way...
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Any unique sound sample or loop that is then turned into a full on track. Idea's that come from nothing to a 4 to 6 minute track. Awesome.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: As mentioned i will supply all clients with a simple questionnaire - nothing to time consuming (5 minutes) that will help me identify which direction and influences they expect to be found in their new upbeat track
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Enjoy the process, always provide creators with as much reference materials as possible, it all helps the brain stroming and initial creation process
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Laptop, solar power with USB bank , MK3, speakers and dj controller
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: 4 years in learning and continuing my progression into music production.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Caught in the middle of tech house and progressive house but with an ability to cross genres to satisfy a client market looking for more subtle beats in most electronic genres.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: My hero David Morales
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Each instruments needs it's own space in the spatial zone, so panning, equalization and ambience need to be mastered at each step of the way.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: House, Tech House, Progressive House, Electronic, EDM,
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Beat making and introducing synths, pianos and other instruments at the right point in time to create a beautiful or dramatic arrangement as required. Each instruments needs it's own space in the spatial zone, so panning, equalization and ambience need to be mastered at each step of the way.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I will bring upbeat vibes and track arrangements that are inline with modern trends. I.e Intro(s), Verse(s), Drop(s), Bridge(s), Chorus/Hook(s) and Outro(s). With these structures in mind ultimately, the client requirements and feedback will dictate the final arrangements and compositions.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: For all clients i like to get some ideas of the music that has inspired there own project idea or will influence my creation process. I like to ask clients to provide me with a questionnaire that is a very simple circle/tick - likely/unlikely - masculine/feminine template which helps identify key sound definitions for me to progress to the first revision which requires approval.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Native instruments maschine mk3 and DAW integrated with industry leading plugins for mixing and mastering. DJ controller, monitor speakers, high end laptop/computers plus high speed 5G internet.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: The house scene is my biggest passion so legends such as David Morales, Todd Terry, Frankie Knuckles all inspire me however my own sounds are unique to my own creativity process and i only reference those aforementioned artists, you couldn't copy them even if you tried :-)
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: My ultimate goal is to provide a complete solution to ghost production which essentially means creating an entire track plus mixing and mastering.
