SETAp vol. 8 - Mixed by HoussieM (Proton Radio Label Showcase, part 8)

With dance music roots that stem from a love for 2000s trance and techno, Texas-born Andrew Pinkowitz turns lifelong curiosity into creative opportunity by diving beyond the static noise of daily life into the deeper textures of organic house. Pinkowitz’s productions blend the ethereal and the melodic, creating dynamic dancefloor explorations of darkness and light. Digital life in the pandemic age brought about his first release, a collaboration with Mexico’s Ricardo Angeles released on Sound Avenue in 2022. That track, “Hidden Pathway,” was followed by entries on Nordic Voyage, Keyfound, 3rd Avenue, Amulanga, and The Purr. His work has received support from the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, Eli Nissan, Fernando Ferreyra, Death on the Balcony, and artists around the globe.

Closer to home, Pinkowitz is a collaborative leader in the lush landscapes of Colorado’s rising melodic house scene as a member of the Sky Terrace Collective. On the decks of Denver’s Club Vinyl, Mockingbird, and The Church, he fashions discourse from downbeats, combining danceable favorites with uncommon treasures and samplings of works-in-development. Pinkowitz’s affinity with audiences forms compass points in sonic journeys that have led to supporting Lee Burridge and Durante - which guide his path toward innovation and evolution in the years to come.

Seta Label was founded in 2008 Slovak DJs and producers named Funkatron. Initially, the label was mainly focused on techno and minimal. After Chris Florio and Keče (Sensoreal) took over the leadership in 2010, the label has been gradually transformed into its present form and deep house and tech house started to play the leading role.  Nevertheless, also other subgenres of electronic club music can be occasionally heard among the releases. Apart from the musical genre the tracks signed to Seta label are mostly deep, groovy, organic and/or emotional pieces produced by artists coming from different parts of the world.

HoussieM - Slovak producer focusing on Deep house & Tech house production. His passion for music started back in the days (1993 – 1998), during his "greatest university times", (as he used to say), when he was working as a DJ and sound engineer in university radio called Bozenka FM. Located in Slovakia, lovely city Kosice, Student´s Hostel of Technical university on Bozena Nemcova street. 

In fact, it was the 1st "pirate FM university radio station" in Eastern Slovakia - you have to imagine, that it was time, when internet simply did not exist :-) Together with his friends they were broadcasting weekly show focused on club music, and "remix culture". Deeply inspired by DMC (Disco Mix Club) and also by Radio 538. In short - every week they brought seamless mix of pumpers to university students, who were "hungry" to hear new music, unusual remixes and... party, party, party!!! :-)

After university Martin (yes, his real name is Martin) had a chance to live in London for 2 years. His love for music deepened even more, while listening to Radio 1 & Kiss_FM club - focused programs and experiencing real gigs in clubs like Ministry of Sound, Plastic People...etc.   

After returning to Slovakia, Martin works in the field of marketing, but in his spare time he produces his own megamixes, sharing them with friends and local radio stations. Focusing mostly on house music (from club, funky to tech and deep house) he simply enjoys all these emotions coming from music, to maintain his inner harmony. Kind of a psychohygiene - to balance work stress. 

At the same time Martin becomes interested in creating EDM and gradually learns the basics of music production. He sends his first demo (Walkin´ Out) to the SETA label in 2019. He meets label boss Tomin Tomovic, people from Sensoreal... and by daily learning and experience sharing with several EDM producers, he starts to produce new tracks.

Under his artist name "HoussieM" Martin focuses clearly on deep house & tech house, releasing his tracks on SETA label.

His another "alias" (Marty Mate) covers slightly different production - funky / club house / downtempo - releasing tracks through Slovak labels Bryndak Records and DJ Camp.
