Includes Through Lines LP + a beautiful 40-page booklet featuring a collection of Martyns writings on music, inspired by the 9 tracks on the Through Lines vinyl release, designed by the very excellent Jeroen Erosie.Welcome to Through Lines, a collection of hand picked tracks by genre nomad and bass innovator Martyn, made between 2005 and 2015, carefully recovered and remastered for vinyl and digital release on 3024. Previously only available on 12 across a scattering of different labels, this set includes essential Martyn Music (as the producer likes to classify it); tracks like Vancouver (A 140 staple to this day), Mega Drive Generation and his classic remix of TRGs Broken Heart, as well as deeper cuts like the rare Friedrichstrasse and house gem For Lost Relatives.This is not just a compilation of remastered music, its a document of an era of UK inspired dance music where ideas, genres, tempos and scenes seemed to rapidly merge and splinter off. An exciting time where producers constantly tried to one-up each other with new ideas and influences, in a vibrant international scene of small club nights from FWD>> and DMZ in London to Red Zone (co-run by Martyn) in the periphery, the earliest online forums like Dubstepforum and radio shows like Dj Flights BBC 1xtra show and Mary Anne Hobbs Breezeblock. Innovation in music never happens in a vacuum and is always a product of community, producers, writers, and other makers continuously inspiring and pushing each other to come up with the next thing. This ethos is present in all of Martyns music throughout the years, but also in his work with Jeroen Erosie as 3024 and within the 3024 Mentoring Program he runs today.
