Atjazz

From his misspent youth skateboarding through the small-towns of Northeast England to running a successful independent record label, in-between producing and remixing for a wealth of talent around the world, Martin “Atjazz” Iveson has become synonymous with the highest levels of style, production and innovation in the independent music scene. His reputation for attention to detail, and obvious care and love for his art, spread across Europe and then the world followed. Atjazz strode across the globe, playing at numerous venues and garnering a huge following worldwide. He is particularly loved in the exciting South African deep house scene, a place that has since become very close to his heart, and whom have taken to calling him Themba - “Hope” in the isiZulu dialect. He has gathered friends and partners from Los Angeles to Hong Kong via Cape Town and everywhere in-between. His aggressive drive to construct new and interesting sounds is complemented by his excitable and inquisitive demeanour. Atjazz is a man who truly helps his friends but also expects tight music and quality production from those he puts his faith into. Fans will recognise that the Atjazz sound is very personal and he puts a part of himself into every track he produces or remixes. This sound has become so renowned that he is often sought out by top level vocalists and producers to work on their own projects.
