Stimming -Live- (DIYNAMIC MUSIC)

“I ́m neither afraid of showing my emotions nor to include them in my music”
Few people bring a truly original sound to house music. It’s all very well making some nice grooves and working the dancefloor, but when it comes to longevity and leaving an indelible mark on the genre and the wider musical sphere, you’ve got to bring something new to the table. At a relatively young age, Hamburg’s Martin Stimming did just that, demonstrating a sophisticated yet accessible sound that’s beyond his years. “I want people to see me as an evolving artist, where you never know what exactly you get - but you know that it’s Stimming.”
The elegance of his productions is rooted in his classical training in his native Germany. Born in Giessen in 1983, he became highly accomplished at the violin, piano and drums by the age of 10, giving him a solid and well- rounded musical education and ability, and an intimate understanding of music theory. His first electronic obsessions took hold when he was 15, discovering the joy of sampled breaks and beats through the likes of DJ Krush and Grooverider, and a year later when living in Butzbach (not far from techno hub Frankfurt) he fell under the spell of DJs like Sven Väth of Chris Liebing and began hoarding vinyl. It was around this time that he began producing music with a computer – something he soon realised was his “destiny”. “I think if more producers would include their own mind and feelings into their music the whole scene would be much more flavoured and diverse which would be good for all of us...at least in an entertaining way.” (excerpt)
