Martyn Deijkers is a DJ, musician and label owner who has quietly built a reputation for innovation and extraordinary craft in the dance music world. Originally from Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Martyn has managed to take his music worldwide, DJing acrosss Europe, and eventually emigrating to Washington D.C. in America. Initial releases some 30 years ago focused on Drum and Bass but his sound really came into its own through the emerging Dubstep scene in the early 2000s. However it quickly became apparent that there was a lot more to Martyn's armoury that any particular genre. He soon established himself as one of the most versatile artists in dance music by creating a string of incredible albums that mixed together House, Techno, Dub-Step and Jazz inflected electronica. Martyn is now fully established as an innovative album orientated artist who commands the ability to take his influences and use them to create new intricate pieces of music as showcased deftly on his latest release 'Music for existing'. Couple all this with his incredible and ground breaking label 3024 which has championed releases from the likes of Marcus Intalex, Leon Vynehall, Om Unit and Addison Groove.

Before we talk to Martyn we talk to author Peter Guralnick about his fascinating book on Col Tom Parker the man who drove Elvis to become the biggest star in the business.
