FOCUS ON SUNDAY GLORIOUS MARTIN GARRIX
MAINSTAGE | 22:50 – 23:50
Martin Garrix remains an incredible jack of all trades, a true force to be reckoned with. In the fashion of a chameleon, he easily switches between genres whilst always retaining his very own signature style. A decent indicator to measure the grandeur of this master of electronic music is to count the amount of high-profile collaborations to his name. Bebe Rexha (‘In the Name of Love’), David Guetta (‘So Far Away’), Khalid (‘Ocean’), Macklemore (‘Summer Days’) and Dua Lipa (‘Scared to Be Lonely’) all worked out well for the man who first rose to fame at the age of 16 and started a whole new genre with the timeless smasher, ‘Animals’. Not only does Garrix work with the biggest artists in the world, he also greatly enjoys working with up-and-coming artists on his very own STMPD Records. The STMPD crew are a real family, and this vibe is reflected nowhere more than in their studios, where artists like Loopers, NUZB, Dubwise, Duke & Jones, Julian Jordan, Liu & Mojjo, Vluarr and of course Martin Garrix himself come together to literally play around with all the facilities available to them. The most recent product of this fruitful label was realised together with Tomorrowland Music: ‘STMPD x Tomorrowland Music Vol. II’, a compilation EP including Martin’s latest production, ‘Hurricane’ with Sentinel and Bonn. This one is sure to be dropped at the Mainstage tonight, so give it a pre-listen if you want to be able to sing along! With his Mainstage sets, Garrix tends to go mental energy-wise, with a high-energy mix of big room, electro house, future bass, and whatever else catches his fancy. Get ready for an unforgettable experience as he closes out Tomorrowland 2023 in style.
