Roots
  The Soundbwoys Destiny soundsystem was founded in summer 2000, on the shared passion of its four original members for reggae and dancehall music. Until then, those genres of music had not been very widespread in Frankfurt. The first parties took place wherever there were opportunities, from public places to private living rooms. Within months, their reputation had catapulted, culminating in a first club gig in the autumn of 2000.
    
  Soundsystem
  The crew operates in the style of the Jamaican Yard sound. Jamaican music is very much about live performance, with the recorded music forming only one part of a larger equation. A typical soundsystem comprises a selector’ who mixes vinyls (mostly Jamaican seven-inches at 45 revolutions per minute) at great speed, and an ‘MC’, whose main role is to entertain and communicate with the audience, using catchphrases that are designed to grab the dancers’ attention and create a more exciting live setting. The audience (also called ‘massive’) participation then makes for an atmosphere that is distinctly lively and enjoyable.
    
  Style
  A key principle in creating that atmosphere is to play Caribbean music in all its variations. This is what can be heard at the Soundbwoys Destiny’s dances, which by now had numbered over 150. The (now five) members of Soundbwoys Destiny constantly search for records in cities all over the world including Kingston, London and Frankfurt, to keep up with the ever-changing Jamaican sound. There is no doubt that the sound crew can offer a huge selection with a great variety of club hits. Always on the cutting edge of its genre, the selection includes oldies from the early beginnings of reggae, from over 30 years ago, brand-new dancehall, traditional “roots’n’culture” reggae music, and even hip-hop and soca. Soundbwoys Destiny also boast numerous dubplates that were specially made for them by artists such as T.O.K, Beenieman, Gregory Isaacs and Capleton.
    
  Future
  Since 2002, Soundbwoys Destiny have been holding a residency at the Frankfurt club ‘O 25’. Every fortnight they present a club night called 'Master Blaster’. CeCile (JA), T.O.K. & Red Rat (JA), Killamanjaro (JA), David Rogdigan (UK) Massive B. (USA), Soundquake and Pow Pow Movement (GER) are some of the many stars that have performed alongside Soundbwoys Destiny on these nights. Their growing reputation has seen them travel to various cities throughout Germany to spread their sound. In spite of their success, the Crew’s endless commitment and love to Jamaican music has never diminished and they always keep in touch with the happenings in the reggae world.

Ich wurde am 29. Juni 1987 in Wolfen (Sachsen-Anhalt) geboren.

Musik war schon von Anfang an mein ständiger Begleiter. Ob Snap, Marusha und Mark Oh oder später dann ATB, Darude, Sono und DJ Rush. Ich konnte hier alle Facetten der Musik kennen und lieben lernen.
Irgendwann kam der Punkt an dem ich die Musik nicht nur hören, sondern diese auch selbst ausleben wollte. Ich übte mal hier und mal da...und dann musste das eigene Equipment her.

Durch intensives Üben hatte ich dann nach kurzer Zeit auch schon die erste Chance mich vor Publikum zu beweisen. Dank Electronic Connexions konnte ich so an Erfahrungen gewinnen. Bis Heute spiele ich regelmäßig (Resident) auf den Partys der Electronic Connexions.

Einen Fuß vor den anderen gesetzt „landete“ ich 2012 auch in der Bar99 (ehem. Vinylbar). Dort durfte ich mich dann auch relativ schnell zu den Residents zählen und auch meine eigenen Veranstaltungsreihe die „listen!“ hosten.

Von Anfang 2014 bis Mitte 2015 gehörte ich ebenfalls als Resident-DJane zu den Herren der Impulse Partyreihe.

Cologne based Producer and DJ Marten Sundberg [Kompakt] creates that modern, funky and  deep Sound including a lot of romantic and soul. Being brought up on a wide influence of different genre sounds and a talent for playing the guitar, musicality is no stranger to Marten and this shows not just in his productions, but also in his DJ sets too.  

Review from earmilk.com:
"Quite often you would associate techno music with pounding kick drums, high tempos and sweat adorned nightclub walls. However, this latest release from Marten Sundberg on Luis Junior's label, Mooseekaa, is rather refreshing.

Hailing from Germany, there is no doubt a deeply rooted appreciation for all things techno embedded somewhere in Marten Sundberg's genetic code. However, the aptly titled Fear of War may well be a peaceful protest against the more aggressive sounds that can often swarm the genre. Title track "Fear of War" charms you in an ever-so-slightly sinister way. Its rich percussion layers the track throughout while deep growls reminiscent of household names such as Ten Walls and Jonas Rathsman create a dark, brooding and club-friendly atmosphere. Second track of the release "Fata Morgana" is all about the beautiful vocal. When you bare in mind that Fata Morgana, in its literal sense, is a type of mirage, every element of production slots into place. The pulsing body of the track is the beating sun while the vocal shimmers in the distance. 

With crisp production from start to finish and creativity in abundance, Marten Sundberg is an artist to keep both eyes and ears on. You can purchase the exclusive release right now from Beatport."
