Martijn Deijkers (sometimes spelled Deykers), known professionally as Martyn, is a Dutch producer and DJ from Eindhoven, currently based in Washington D.C.[2] in the United States.[3] He is the son of Dutch former footballer Gerrie Deijkers. He started his career by DJing drum and bass in 1996,[4] but began to include more of a dubstep influence after first hearing Kode9's "Sine of the Dub".[5] He released his first 12" singles in 2005,[6] incorporating elements of both techno and jungle.[7] Deijkers' first album, Great Lengths, was released in 2009.[8] In 2010 he released Fabric 50, the 50th installment of the Fabric Mix DJ series.[9] Martyn's second studio album, Ghost People, was released in 2011 on the American label Brainfeeder.[10]
