After learning how to Mix at the ripe old age of 13!!! It's been a nightmare trying to drag me away from those decks of mine... Being a Dj is an art form and I'm an Artist. I have played sets at some of the biggest nightclubs and underground clubs in the UK over the years; Pacha Uk, Canvas, Ministry of Sound,
Club 65,
Whitehouse, Westbourne Studios, Egg Club, Shiva, Entice, Relapse, Sunday Soul and now I dj at Glamorous ldn at Union club to name a few whilst playing alongside some of the UK’s biggest Dj’s.

DJ’ing since 1990 and Producing music since 1991, Martin Ikin previously known as;  DJ Mayhem, Indigo, Soul Purpose, Migrant.. and loads more, has spent his life releasing records on many labels and under many aliases. Including, Defected, Nervous, OFF, Get Physical, Exploited, Zrecords, 3Beat, MOS, SwingCity, Hed Kandi, Soulfuric, Sony, Island, Atlantic..etc etc.
Martin's remix credentials include names such as Mariah Carey, Jamiroquai, Joey Negro, MAW, Grant Nelson, Hardsoul and many more...
Trained studio engineer and jazz pianist Martin stepped away from producing and engineering for others and launched his own label Soul Purpose Records in 2003, as a stable for his own productions.
2005 saw Martin adopted his label name "Soul Purpose" as his DJ & Production/Remix moniker, dropping the old school "Mayhem" tag from the early 1990's 
Now Djing & Producing using his real name for the first time ever! Martin kicks of with a Monster release on Andre Crom's OFF Recordings. Watch out for lots of brand new music coming from Martin on some of the biggest labels in the game including more on the mighty OFF Recordings.
As a musician and producer Martin draws his musical influences from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Oscar Peterson, Azymuth, Donny Hathaway, Jeff Lorber, Roy Ayers and legendary house masters like Mr Fingers, Marshall Jefferson, Derek May & Kevin Saunderson.

Karl’s earliest memories of dance music take him right back to the early 80’s where his initial love for soul, funk, disco and rare groove first developed his appetite for Djing. With the arrival of hip hop and electro-funk during the mid 80’s, Karl developed his sound and began gigging at local west London parties and roller disco's whilst sharing his musical finding through his increasingly popular mix tapes.

This continued throughout the late 80 and early 90’s and with the explosion of the dance music scene, Karl was finally old enough to bring his sound to club land. Under the DJ Speedy Moniker, he embraced the early House and Drum & Bass scene performing at legendary nights and venues such as The Africa Centre, The Brain, Fantasy (Astoria) Fusion, AWOL, Desire 2000AD, Adrenalin Village whilst hosting regular shows on the London pirates.

As the 90’s drew to a close, Karl was continually captivated by New York house and the disco influenced sounds of the likes of Quentin Harris, Louie Vega, Kenny Carpenter, Joe Clausell, Greg Wilson, Danny Krivit, and Kerri Chandler. This sound took him back to his early influences and before long he was busy developing his love for the deep US House and Nu Disco.

Continuing to push boundaries and developing his unique DJ style, it wasn’t long before he was busy co-promoting his own nights across West London with regular guest appearances at Notting Hill Arts Club, Subterrania, Cherry Jam, Cobden, and the world famous Notting Hill Carnival.

Over the past 10 years Karl has continued to develop his sound, fusing a mix of deep house, retro disco, electro-funk & afro Latin and spent 4 years as a Resident at the legendary  AKA London (THE END)  for ‘The Players’ with regular guest slot and appearances at The Lodge, Mulletover, The End, East Village, Ministry of Sound, GO!Zilla, Body Talk, Cargo, Neighbourhood & Pacha (Azuli) to name but a few.

With his diverse musical sound and ability to work the crowd, Karl has developed a unique DJ style fusing his Jazz, Funk, Soul, Rare Groove and Disco roots with more contemporary dance music genres that continues to push the boundaries and never fails to entertain.

Marcus Nasty is a true titan of the underground, a tastemaker supreme who works tirelessly to discover new sounds, the David Rodigan of UK Bass. How many DJs can lay claim to having pioneered three distinct genres that each changed the face of British dance music? This East London-born selector first rose to fame as head of grime legends NASTY Crew, back when legendary MCs such as Newham Generals, Kano and Jammer were just young men starting out on their careers. Now the style he helped usher in is a worldwide phenomenon.

Fast forward to 2009 and Marcus could be found destroying Ayia Napa floors as a founding father of Funky. He was one of the first to champion UK attempts to tap into the worldwide house music phenomenon as a new style of fiercely British, UK garage, grime and dancehall-influenced beats. Nasty’s increasing prominence and reputation for adventurous musical choices swiftly led to the weekly primetime Rinse FM show that he still heads up to this day.

The last 5 years have seen Marcus champion the burgeoning underground UK  scenes as he stayed ahead of the curve on Bass House and UK Bass before coming full circle and spearheading the reinvigoration of UK Funky. A Marcus Nasty set is a battle royale of darkling beats, rambunctious low end and that unmistakable gully vibe. For a direct connection to the source, to the rawness, energy and pure destructive power of the underground, accept no imitations.
