Marten Höerger is a man of many aliases. If you don’t recognise him for his banging breakbeats, tech or solo electro production, then you’ll likely recognise him as a member of the massive breakbeat duo, BOOGIE ARMY.

Hailing from Germany, the duo burst onto the scene in 2007 with a plethora of outstanding original releases on Labels like, Westway Records, Carepack Rec, Ministry of Sound and Genepoole Recordings, in addition to numerous remixes for the likes of Malente, Trick & Kubic and Infekto (Rico Tubbs). The most notable release was of course ‘Sex, Drugs, Rock’n’Roll’ which became one of the breakbeat anthems of 2007 and found place on just about every mixtape compiled at the time.

In late 2008, Marten began a new tech, electro and breakbeat project with the much famed Leeroy Thornhill (Prodigy) – Smash Hifi! Their debut single ‘Everything You Need’ featured a world class music video shot in Canada. Marten was recently honoured with the rights to produce the 2009 version of the Mayday anthem, one of the world’s most illustrious parties. Due for release on Bass Planet Records this May. The track has already garnered much international support and kudos and looks set to cement his name as a solo artist on the international scene.
