Not just a musician, it's an art form. You might have noticed Martin already on TV, cinema or in high profile fashion magazines. Vogue Italia, pop icon Madonna or companies such as MTV or Sony had Martin already on display. In his birth country Austria - Martin is known for such classic TV ads as the animated 'Der Standard' (daily newspaper) or 'Schauspielhaus' ad. As well, Martin is flickering through the screens in his very own videos such as 'Dangerous Cat'.Martin 101's song writing, production and lyrics are very much inspired by stand out electronica/ glam pop and club music. Producers such as Giorgio Moroder, Mark 'Spike' Stent or current act Timbaland had some influence on the final sound of his digi-LP 'High Fidelity' as well as his latest outstanding 'Play My Drum' single. The spacious signature style made out of a perfect mix of dark electronica, classic synth pop, glam-attitude and power club music has a wholly sincere-, and wholly endearing-, take on the music Martin 101 loves. Working with a team of respected musicians, voices and co-producers includes producer talent Patrick Kong (TNT Jackson), Mike Bandoni, Holemar/Prohazka (Schall & Rauch/ Studio 12), international DJ/producer Philipp van het Veld and 'FM4 Soundpark' Nouveau Cain.The output 'Dangerous Cat' with a video set in the simple burlesque of Hollywood in the 1940's (with costumes by award winner Martina Rogy & Louis Vuitton, directed by Julia Hofer, art directed by Martin 101 is telling a suggestive story of souls who search for that special kick at night. While the later offering, the Martin 101 tune 'Play My Drum' draws on the message in regards of 'modern pop culture moving along to the beat of a big drum'. 'Play My Drum' is also wrapped in a hidden message about that we invite you to move along to the sounds & beats of Martin 101. Enjoy the artistic melange on the Martin 101 full length album 'High Fidelity'.

Band Members: Martin '101' Meister on vocals, lyrics, riffs, front & keyboards. Patrick Kong on desks, mixing & programming. Philipp van Het Veld on desks, remix & live mix. Reinhard 'Nouveau Cain' Moser on programming and sketch. Aniko & Tina on pose.
Influences: Inspiration that added over the years : The Knife, Giorgio Moroder, Timbaland, Fad Gadget, Soft Cell, Gary Numan, Danny Tenaglia, Superchumbo, New Order, Chic, Miss Kitten, Nitzer Ebb, Kraftwerk, DAF, Armand van Helden, Human League, Prince, The Normal, Bjork, Jaques Brel, T Rex, Trevor Horn, Liasons Dangereuses, Klaus Nomi, Nina Hagen, Throbbing Gristle, Jimi Tenor, Mirwais, Jacques le Cont, The Creatures, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Scott Walker, Thin White Duke, Zeigeist, Marc Almond, Deep Dish, ..basically stuff that keeps you glamorous and moving.

Sounds Like: Timbaland filtered through a Kraftwerk track - fused with Jean Michel Jarre and Gary Numan - edited by Martin 101 on a New York - Berlin non stop polished up electronica dance tour.

The "101" comes from the Roland 101 synthesizer module which Martin 101 has been using for most of the music working experience. Most of my songs draw on the idea upon Progressive Electronic Music (PEM) and Electronic Body Music (EBM). These elements are found in most current acts.

Progressive in the context of modern dance music (progressive electronic dance music) is a term that includes a collection of electronic dance music genres which draw upon the use of electronica, progressive house and breaks etc. In my case i would add 'progressive glam'. .
