I make electronic music.
 我很老乱

DOT Records, sound, visual, events, we make the dots and connect them.

Officially launched in 2013, DOT Records has a long history that goes way back. A new lease of life from the epilogue of Acupuncture Records, DOT, is destined to extend the sweet memories, and bring everything to an even more fascinating level. 

As an electronic music record label, DOT will keep on marching on the production journey, connect Chinese and international producers, put them in the mix with the biggest tunes, and send their voice to the rest of the world.

Meanwhile, DOT considers parties the frontline for promoting our music and fundamental for cultivating a bona fide electronic music scene in China. Therefore, our event steps will make solid landmarks all over the country on a regular basis. So, wherever you are, see you soon!

And thanks to DOT’s close relationship with artists and creative, as well as the good experience with brand partners, sister company ARP Creative came to life. It’s the artistic home for creative collaboration where artists can express their passions, collaborate on unique projects with leading brands— a community that helps you gain recognition and increase your global reach.

Yes, everything starts from a dot. 

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...
