I am neither afraid of showing my emotions nor to include them in my music - Stimming

Few people bring a truly original sound to house music. At a relatively young age, Hamburgs Martin Stimming did just that, demonstrating a sophisticated yet accessible sound that is beyond his years.

Two years after hooking up with Solomuns Diynamic Music, his 2008 breakthrough hit Una Pena made the electronic world sit up and take notice, and before long acclaimed labels like Freerange, liebe*detail, Buzzin´ Fly, Green and Poker Flat were snapping up his work. 2009 saw him release his immaculate debut album Reflections to great acclaim, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting new producers of his generation. 

His second album, Liquorice, eschews the normal kick-clap/snare template by and large to explore more interesting and progressive territories, but always with that trademark magpie-like sense of texture, emotion and discovery. 

His productions are filled with a multitude of his own unique, charismatic field recordings, and he never uses the same sample more than once. 

2010 saw him pick up an award for Best Newcomer at the Ibiza DJ Awards, following on from his live show (Stimming does not DJ) stunning the crowds at the islands legendary Pacha, and the finest danceries around the world Πfrom Berlins Panoramabar to Sao Paulo´s D-Edge, Brussels Fuse, London´s fabric and Paris Rex, and plenty more beyond. 

Remixes for the likes of Sascha Funke, Claude VonStroke, Deadmau5, Stephan Bodzin and Tom Novy to name but a few have further spread his influence amongst the discerning house and tech community, and cemented his reputation as one of the scene´s most exceptional producers.

Clearly, Martin Stimming is a precious talent indeed. But then again, not everyone loves liquorice...

AD7USTMENT

„What makes a real artist? Maybe it’s this ever-growing, undeniable passion for his work. Maybe it’s this eternal urge to become more, to learn new things and to expand. But for sure it’s this unique footprint, this unmistakable vibe that an artist is broadcasting.“

The footprint of AD7USTMENT, is built of these elements: Energy. Skills. Charisma. Groove. His history with music and techno is a long and exciting journey, starting back in 1988 and influenced by both his home in Germany and his mother’s sunkissed origin in Petín, Spain. Learning to play drums as a kid led to wild electronic nights during the Spanish summer, and after his first event with Ricardo Villalobos, his soul was forever lost in techno – and his electronic path became clear and wide open. 

This path of an evolving, unconditional love and understanding of techno and everything it is, led to amazing experiences along the way:  The last years can be called as the era of longterm collaboration that let AD7USTMENT dive deep into the technical knowledge behind producing techno music and definitely paved the streets for all that is coming up now.

But now is now, and now is a time of change and transformation. What in the meantime even happens on a global scale around this earth, came up inside of AD7USTMENT some months ago: The inner call to do something different, to go beyond what has been before and to reach for new musical ways to express himself, became stronger and stronger. As a result, his studio output moved on to a new level. Something that seems to come directly from his universal spirit and that definitely deserved a new, own name and platform: AD7USTMENT was born. 

The sound of AD7USTMENT is created with an intention to get your energetic juices flowing, awaken your rave DNA and let the floor freak out. Like philosophical teachings, each track has its own message and takes you on a journey with pumping drums, innovative percussions and sounds from outer space and inner worlds. Feelings of ecstacy alternate with moments of silence or surprising vocals. With an AD7USTMENT track, you can expect to go on a rollercoaster ride that may take your breath, if you let it in.

His passion for powerful, dynamic tracks with this unique groove and storytelling now convinced Label´s such as Planet Rhythm, Kneaded Pains, Odd Recordings, Nechto Records, Suara and many more to sign AD7USTMENT.

200 Records was founded as a Techno label for vinyl and digital releases by Kai Sasse and Dirk Middeldorf in Cologne, Germany at the beginning of 2009. 200 Records releases music for the club and defines itself as an open-minded label striving to provide a platform for both established and new artists. They are putting an emphasis on connecting with their artists musically and personally. The motivation behind starting this label is Kai’s and Dirk’s love for electronic music; the will to contribute a piece to its development – to give back – and last but not least, due to their close friendship, the desire to create something new together.
