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'.
