MartyParty writes pretty songs that turn hard and heavy when you least expect it. Just like life itself. This is music for those that appreciate melody and hooks, but lust for beat and heavy bass.

Marty Folb aka MartyParty – born and raised in South Africa, found his way to San Francisco 15 years ago as a software programmer. After discovering the music of the west coast and wanting to “Africanize” it, Marty picked up Ableton Live and began to learn the art of Music production in 2007. He soon released his first digital album “Walkerville to the West Coast”, named for the town he grew up in and a tribute to his path to the US.

Marty got tired of how all electronic music followed the same formula so he set off on a mission to re-invent electronic music and cross-pollinate it with all other music he loves. Marty’s production can best be defined as IDM based hip-hop.

Marty started a movement back towards the power of the melody and instrumental composition. Song writing has always been Marty’s passion instead of the typical beat style dj production. The music is a hybrid of electronic music and hip-hop that together forms a totally new flavor of urban beat with the pretty hypnotic elements of electronic hard-hitting bass.

The MartyParty live performance is an intense journey that pulls together gorgeous instrumental, bass heavy songs, and overlays these with acapellas and samples played live. The result is a truly “crunky” and “hypy” experience like no other. Marty has been playing his live sets to crowds all over the US.

Marty partnered with Josh Mayer (Ooah) of the infamous Glitch Mob, to form PANTyRAiD. Signing to Marine Parade Records, they produced and are releasing their debue album “The Sauce” in June 2009. This project has already received rave reviews.

MartyParty can be heard streaming at his website www.martyparty.org where he streams all of his original compositions as he writes them, before any remixing or collaboration.
