Biography – Martin Petzold (Artist name: 99Latino)

Martin Petzold, better known by his stage name 99Latino, was born in Huaraz, Peru in 1999 and moved to Germany with his mother at an early age when his father was working there. From an early age he was surrounded by the world of electronic music. His father, a passionate techno fan, shaped Martin's musical development with the sounds of synthesizers and innovative sounds. While other children thought about everyday things, Martin was fascinated as a young boy by the hypnotic and powerful sounds that came from his father's CDs. The constantly repeating synthesizer sounds and the incessant bass waves had a mystical effect on him - although they also scared him a little at the time, he couldn't stop listening.

Growing up in Germany and surrounded by a variety of musical influences, Martin developed a deep passion for electronic music. At the age of 14, he discovered house music, which captivated him from the start. But it was at the age of 16, when he was in a club for the first time, that he realized that he wanted to be on the DJ stage himself. While the music in the clubs often disappointed him, the idea of taking over the DJ booth himself grew more and more in him. "I just couldn't understand why better music wasn't being played," he recalls.

This thought stuck with Martin and he became increasingly immersed in the music scene. A key moment was a festival where he met a club owner who was enthusiastic about his music. After exchanging track IDs, the club owner offered to let him play in his club. The first gig was a challenge - Martin stood in front of four Nexus 2000s and a Xone 92 for the first time, with no knowledge of the technology but an incredible enthusiasm and passion for the music. The gig sounded anything but perfect, but for Martin it was the beginning of a DJ career that was marked by ups and downs - including technical glitches and all-nighters, which never deterred him from his course.

His path led him from Nuremberg to Berlin, the musical capital, which became a true DJ apprenticeship for Martin. In Berlin he immersed himself deeply in the scene, learned from experienced artists and perfected his skills. The pulsating energy and countless impressions of the capital shaped his sound and identity as a DJ.

Today Martin lives in Nuremberg again and brings all the experience and knowledge he gained in Berlin into his performances. His unique mix of funky groove, powerhouse, speedhouse, hard groove, tribal groove, hypnotic groove and bouncy trance music has already earned him a loyal fan base.

The name "99Latino" was created after a long and grueling 10-hour Flixbus ride from Nuremberg to Berlin. After arriving in Berlin, when he wanted to get some energy at Burgermeister after a long day, he discovered an impressive orange graffiti in the toilet that bore the words "98Latino". This graffiti, together with the font, immediately inspired him. Instead of using the number "98", he decided to add the year of his birth, "99", and so "99Latino" was born.

99Latino has a clear goal: to amaze the crowd at the end of his set, to grab them emotionally and move them so much that they talk about it long after the event. For him, music is more than just a set of tracks - it is a magical experience that lives on in the hearts of his listeners. His wish is that everyone who experiences one of his sets remembers it as a unique, emotional experience that makes them cry - with joy.

With his passion, energy and his unmistakable sound, Martin Petzold aka 99Latino has already established himself as one of the most exciting DJs on the scene. And he is only at the beginning of his journey.
