HELLO STEEMIANS

Everybody loves to celebrate weekend, especially with the powerful feedback from the #technofriday community. Especially for this Friday, I was carrying my daily stuff exceptionally good with a clear vision: finish everything as fast as possible and come back home early to write something solid. Fully motivated to write a bigger article about Nur Jaber, I was driving back home like a crazy until law enforcement officers decided to pull me over and kindly explained that it is highly unappropriated to drive with a speed between 130-150km/h on the highway limited to the 100km/h. I've also received an information that driving with a speed higher than 150km/h cause taking away the driving licence by the police.

Part of what makes the music of Martin Damm interesting is his versatility. The tracks coming from his studio, Biosfear, stylistically stretch over the whole area of electronic dance music - going from power acid to breakcore, from drum & bass to happy gabber, from straight techno to dubby trip hop. Fans will rave about the squiggly 303 programming, the bouncy kickdrums and clattering breakbeats, the powerful and dense yet transparent overall sound, the wonderfully witty combinations and structures, the overwhelming wealth of amazing sound ideas and little melodies, and last not least the cynically cheesy organs and shameless sampling.
