BIO:

Martin surely can be described as legend of Nuremberg‘s electronic music scene. In 1992, at the age of 16, he discovered his passion for electronic music and began playing vinyl on two borrowed Technics turntables. During that time he completed an internship at a local radio station (Radio N1), where he soon was recognized for his Djing. 

First bookings as „Martin Martinez“, his former Dj name, at various events of the radio station like „N1 Sunday Dancehall“ and the weekly radio show „N1 Club Night“ followed, where he not only played vinyl with lots of heart, but also took over the moderation of the radio show.

Especially as a resident of the „N1 Rave Signal“ events, which took place at Volksbad, an abandoned Art Nouveau-Style bath, he soon gained a large fan base with his captivating techno and breakbeat sets and weekly played on stage with famous musicians like Sven Väth, Westbam, Carl Cox, Earth Nation, Tanith, Resistance D, Jens Lissat, Oliver Lieb and many more.

To spred his wings wider and take his immense passion for Djing to the next level, he changed his name to Martin Groovic in 1995 and soon played gigs in all major techno clubs in Franconia such as Boot, Dolphin Club, Paisley Park, Forum, Lancia Odeon, DUB Club and the Octagon in Eltmann and invitations to clubs in Munich and festivals in Italy followed.

In 1996 he and two partners founded the legendary TOS Club, where he organized weekly club nights and after hours and quickly became a well known musician in the Nuremberg techno scene for blowing up the dancefloors with his unique music style. 

His characteristics as a deliverer of music are within the inexhaustible dimensions of sound, creating imaginary dream worlds within his listeners and taking them on a journey full of depth, magic and desires – always with an unconditional love to music. His repertoire ranges from rhythmic, spherical house and techno sounds filled with lots of emotion to downtempo and acid sounds with the right drive to dance the nights away.

In 1998, after two successful years of TOS, the club mysteriously burned down and Martin moved to Munich. In 2000 he founded his family and took a time out for several years. During his break the love to music still accompanied him in private, but now the passion for Djing and the wish to create musical suspense grew strong again. And so he‘s back, more motivated than ever, presenting new monthly mixes on his Soundcloud. In the near future Martin Groovic will surely be seen and heard again in the clubs.

Jamie Garry’s biography 

Jamie Garry is a 48 year old DJ/Producer from Leeds Uk 
Who’s been DJING around 36 years starting when he was 13 years old on a pirate radio station in leeds called ABC FM. Before that Jamie would play everything from Queen, Chic and Micheal Jackson with a huge love of his thriller album.
He first got into dance beats listening to early hip hop electro albums that he collected starting from electro 5 on tape then buying all the other albums on vinyl what he’d play on a old wooden gramophone that belong to his parents.
He started listening to pirate radio where one day he got a request phone line number that he rang and told them he always wanted to be a DJ. Fortunately they met him as he explained where he lived and it wasn’t far from the radio station and it went from there with Jamie DJING most days playing hip hop and soul and then as he got older it was most evenings playing house music what he first heard from his brother who gave him a house sounds of Chicago tape. At 13 Jamie couldn’t mix two tracks together until at age 15 he accidentally mixed two tracks together and remembered the number on the pitch control and practiced with the same records every time he went to the radio station and Jamie honed is skills and before long could mix every record he played even speeding some slow records up from 33 to 45 so he could mix them together . Jamie’s dad recognised his talent and bought Jamie a set of technics 1210s when he was around 16 years old.
Jamie’s mum spotted a advertisement in the local newspaper from a DJ agent called Barry Phillips so he got in contact and started playing wedding nights at pubs and one day did queens court what he loved so Jamie wanted to get out into the clubs where he believed he belong.
Jamie constantly practiced mixing and scratching in his bedroom doing tapes and passing them to clubs and promoters and a blues In chapletown picked him up for around 7 months playing house music and Jamie was also still playing on radio until he got a break at a club called Hi Flyers next to the Queens hotel weekly along side big named DJs including Dave Seaman (Brothers In Rhythm) and even MTV was there at one of the nights and Jamie got a job in a record shop in Harrogate DJING behind the counter playing the vinyl for sale in the shop.
Jamie then stated getting more and more noticed and played quite a lot of venues in leeds and London a night called SW1 along side DJs Fabio, Grooverider, LTJ Bukem, Colin Dale and more until one day he got his break in leeds by sending a demo tape to the promoters of one of the biggest nights in leeds and the uk called Up Yer Ronson who also had early nights named Kaos and Soak.

The Ark and Up Yer Ronson nights finished but Jamie didn’t with his huge huge passion for music. Jamie was DJING and resident DJ at three nights Joi (Howden) Alchemy (York) and The Egg (The Pleasure Rooms leeds) playing along side the likes of Todd Terry.
