Martin Pineda Velez, born in Medellin, Colombia, on April 15, 1975. When he was five, his family moved to New York, where he advanced in his education and took the North American culture as his own. The environment in which he lived during those years and the birth of MTV determined his musical vocation. He received an early influence of artists such as Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, The Police, Madonna, Prince, U2, Depeche Mode, Cyndi Lauper, The Cure, Billy Joel, R.E.M and The Clash. Back in Colombia he advanced the career of Automotive Engineering in Bogotá and became familiar with electronics music and the new technologies. His mix of cultural and technological influences and artistic vocation led him to electronic music (especially the Trance and House).Today his specialty is the Progressive House. His passion has led him to study and improve his technique to deliver a unique experience in every one of his live sets.

My journey into electronic music began after experiencing Sasha and Fortier live May 2000. I remember watching him play, then attending the afterparty, and thinking to myself, “I’m going to learn how to DJ.” From there, I embarked on a path filled with countless parties, raves, and festivals. I had the honor of opening for some of the biggest names in the scene, including Hernán Cattaneo, Deep Dish, Ricky Ryan, and Satoshi Tomiie.

As the Progressive House wave expanded across Latin America and the world, I found myself deeply immersed in the music that would become not just a passion, but an essential part of my life. I’ve had the privilege of dancing to sets from legends like Digweed, Cattaneo, Sander, Sasha, Fortier, Jimmy, Satoshi, Seaman, Howells, Cox, Lawler, the Martínez Brothers, Pachanga Boys, Pixel, and Visual Paradox, just to name a few.

I have a deep love for quality electronic music, and it has shaped my life in ways I could never have imagined

Been following dance music since the early days, started off listening to house, migrated to techno after listening to a life changing essential mix from Darren emerson and being educated by a friend back home about the joys and intricacies of techno who also introduced me to the Arches in Glasgow when it was in full swing with the Slam boys doing their weekly sessions.

Always looking for music that challenges and pushes the boundaries and I still like to keep an open mind and ears to all kinds of music from general pop, rock and Jazz. My passion still remains for techno which I fell is often misunderstood to be banging 4/4 euro trance. Music has to be about emotion and feeling, with my insprations and loves coming in particular the Detroit sound from the likes of Robert Hood, Carl Craig. However, not forgetting my Glasgow roots, they have been central to my inspiration. Maybe it's the dull grey winter nights that helps bring out the creativity in us!

Hoping that I can share my passion and enthusiasm and give something for others to enjoy while getting plenty of personal pleasure at the same time.
