Electronic music has been part of Martin Ez's life since the early 90s when he explored an exciting new world in clubs like Dorian Grey and Omen in Frankfurt or Aufschwung Ost in Kassel.
The consequences were an active participation in nightlife as a dj and various collaborations in different cities over the years, the latest being the foundation of Patentblau with Daniel Vague in Berlin.
Patentblau's focus is on throwing underground parties of outstanding quality in sound and decoration. Hunting thrilling and new venues, like the landmarked scaffold of an old slaughterhouse on an urban green or an adventure playground, and putting them into a new context with their festivities is another major characteristic of their activities. Artists like Maral Salmassi [Television, Art of Perception], Jo Sauerbier [Kompakt], Dub Kult [Arcola, Traum, Raum...Musik], Ion Ludwig [Underl_ne, Alphahouse] or Saytek [Console, London] played at Patentblau events as well as acts from the local scene like Erik Panzer and Anarki of the [barfuss!] crew, Mary Jane [LPG], Sportbrigade Sparwasser, Katherina [B.I.M] or Dr. Deghani and Stone [GMT].
As a Dj, Martin Ez has his own, very unique way of blending minimal techno with some melodic and electrohouse elements.
Dj gigs include appearances at various locations in Berlin, like Festsaal Kreuzberg, Senatsreservenspeicher, Sternradio and Zurmöbelfabrik as well as performances at Baumwollspinnerei in Leipzig, E’de cologne parties in Cologne, Runsound parties in London or at Studio A in Miami alongside names like Daniel Bell, Lawrence and Benno Blome.
