ANDHIM BIO:
andhim are a German DJ and producer duo consisting of Simon Haehnel & Tobias
Müller. Since their founding year 2010, they have published over 60 songs and
remixes. They have worked with artists such as Theophilus London, Diplo, Högni
Egilson, Groove Armada and Elderbrook and made it to number 31 on the German
Single Charts with their remix for Wine & Chocolates.
The two describe their sound as “super house” – their very own definition of
electronic music that, whether melodic or deep, always bears the typical andhim
fingerprint. In addition to the musical component, the two have placed great
emphasis on a strong visual concept in their representation as an artist, which is
reflected in countless music videos. They always present themselves with a wink,
without sabotaging the seriousness of their art.
With over 100 international shows annually and residencies in New York, Los
Angeles, London and Melbourne, they are among the most successful DJ duos in the
scene. Due to their past as turntablists, their skills on the decks are unmatched. As
part of the ‘Noisy Stylus’ turntable crew, Tobias became a multiple ITF and DMC
champion and had a lasting influence on the scene at the time.
In 2016 they founded their own label Superfriends Records, a label that captures the
pair’s charm and ebullience; one that has moved from gentle eclecticism through
infinite fun into a refined and contagiously unique electronic sound. It is an outlet for
the duo’s most ambitious ideas. An independent exercise in only the finest studio
output from themselves to those that inspire, influence and impress.
Andhim have over the last decade cultivated an exceptionally loyal fan base of
musical lovers and peers alike; that continue to crave the German pairs musical
agility and action packed forays.
In 2020 their documentary film “Miles To Go” was released, a road trip along the west
coast of America, which shows a deep dive into the lives of the two on tour and how
they work with each other. The documentary has been shown at several international
film festivals so far and has won two coveted prizes: “Best Score” (Swindon
Independent Film Fest, UK) and “Best Documentary Feature” (San Diego IKFF, USA).
The music in the film was written exclusively by the two and released at the same
time as the film as a soundtrack album “Miles To Go”. This will be Simon’s debut Honolulu performance.
CHRISTIAN MARTIN BIO:
While many have previously thought Christian Martin to be birthed from the bass within the stars, the Trippy Ass Technologies label boss was immersed in music from a very early age.
Beginning his musical journey with classical piano at age five, then advancing to jazz theory, he eventually became involved in bands throughout high school and his formative years during which he found his particular love for loud systems while bumping tunes in big car stereos.
In 1995, Christian discovered electronic music and sound system culture after attending an event by SoCal’s legendary Moontribe collective; standing in front of massive speaker stacks could only be described as “ear-opening.” Fast forward 8 years in front of giant sound systems from New York to London to Detroit, Christian would act as the catalyst to what we now know as the Dirtybird BBQ.
With the swipe of a credit card, he bought the original Dirtybird sound system. Christian’s intense love for music vibrates through the speakers, floors, and walls at every event he plays. His sixth sense for what makes the dancefloor tick, Jedi-like DJ mastery, and connection with the crowd are what make his sets unique and capable of healing. His sound can only be described as “Music that captures fleeting emotions.”
Thanks to his emotional and psychedelic take on house, techno, and bassy breaks, Christian has developed the reputation as an afterhours & sunrise specialist. Christian shines in his musical versatility, and aims to meld genres like drum and bass with house to create intoxicating elixir of sound in his sets.
You know when you’re on the dance floor during a Christian Martin set, and it’s this reason that Christian is a mainstay at world class events including Symbiosis, Do Lab at Coachella, Lucidity, Northern Nights, Secret Garden (UK), Fusion (Germany), Bass Coast (Canada), and his original electronic inspiration, Moontribe. His favorite sets being at open air events in fantastical nature settings with magical sound systems like Shambhala, and TAT showcases he put together such as the combination all day boat/club experience in San Francisco in 2019.
The demand for his music extends internationally, touring in Australia, Germany, Mexico, Italy, & the UK.
2022 will prove to be Christian Martin’s biggest year yet as his label Trippy Ass Technologies celebrates its 5 year anniversary.
With over 35 releases and 5 TAT showcases under his belt (+ more to come), the recent Foolie album hitting #1 overall on Beatport, an upcoming EP with Lenny Kiser, and best of all, a debut album and massive TAT 5 year anniversary compilation in the works, what we can expect from Christian Martin can be foreseen as nothing short of mind melting.
