Martijn ten Velden brings his eclectic house tastes to NYC tonight with a gig a Cielo (10pm-4am).
Ten Velden got his career started in the Dutch hip-hop scene in the early '90s, but soon made his way over to the UK and the sounds of house music. His innovative, altering productions and remixes have been topping dance charts for years, earning him the respect from fellow DJs like Roger Sanchez, Deep Dish and Steve Lawler.
However this is definitely not the first time you have heard of him. Armani Exchange used the Ten Velden track "I Wish You Would" as the soundtrack to their Fall 2007 "behind the scenes" advertising campaign video.
Since his mid-'90s transition, Martijn hooked up with David James to form the duo Audio Drive. The pair quickly found success with pop-house remixes of Ms. Dynamite, The Sugababes, and Kylie Minogue.
Martijn teamed up with Mark Knight, to pumped out over fifty remixes over a short 3 year period for everyone from Steve Lawler, Shapeshifters, Natasha Bedingfield, and many more - leading to his mixing of the first disc of Toolroom Knights Vol. 1 last year.
If you don't catch Martijn ten Velden turn this up in NYC with his funky electro set you can check him out Saturday August 23 at CIRCA, Toronto
