Its the first record Martin has made sinceThe Night Out and its nothing short of massive! In 2013 Martin will take a more spontaneous approach to delivering his music, collaborations and of course his videos.

Having spent three years dedicated to seeing hisSmash project and of course his collaboration with Madonna complete, its time to explore new landscapes, and jump on opportunities as and when they arise. It seems there is no rulebook to which Solveig can refer, so instead hell write his own!

Hysteria is the only word to describe whatthat big record did to the world and to Martin Solveig. It catapulted the Frenchman from a well-respected DJ into one of the most formidable producers and performers on the planet. The record, of course, was calledHello and its gone on to clock up over 3 million in sales, win multiple awards, an

His music videos are renowned as by far the best in their class and his performances continue to electrify audiences in every corner of the globe. From playful DJ to superstar producer, Martin Solviegs music is as animated as the man himself, so lets indulge in a spot of historystill in the making.

Like so many, Martins love affair with music began at an early age. Influenced by luminaries such as Prince, Lenny Kravitz, Stevie Wonder and Serge Gainsbourg, his eccentric taste and non-conformist attitude have been the backbone of what he is today a multi-faceted artist. He sings, he produces, he deejays, he acts and occasionally he dances too as well as a spot of tennis.

Aged 21, Solveig started his own label called Mixture Stereophonic and releasedHeart of Africa. The track went on to sell 10,000 copies, offering a clear signal to Martin that a career in music was well worth pursuing. Martins first album,Sur La Terre released in 2002, achieved critical acclaim and enabled the Parisian to work with Salif Keita for whom he remixedMadan, one of 2003s biggest club anthems. The afro-disco bomb as well as Martins new funk-drivenRocking Music both helped to catapult his career to a whole new level.

Martin entered 2012 putting the final touches on his preparations to release his latest masterpiece “SMASH”, an album bursting at the seams with pure fun and frivolity, all capped off with timeless trademark sounds. Involving the undeniable talents of Dragonette, Bloc Party front man Kele, Sunday Girl plus US whirlwind DEV, it brought Martin to new and dizzying heights!
