Gamer – GRX, Bassjackers
Martin Garrix has done several amazing collaborations under his GRX alias, but the first ever GRX track is one that not many people have come across. Released in 2013 on Doorn Records, ‘Gamer’ was an epic collaboration with fellow upcoming stars of EDM, Bassjackers, which took on a heavy big room house sound. Despite this songs powerful bass and really creative lead sound, it’s one of the very few songs by Garrix that has less than a million streams on Spotify. Take a trip back 11 years and have a listen to this hidden gem below.
Your Body (Martin Garrix Remix) – Christina Aguilera
It’s rare to see a Martin Garrix remix these days, however back in the early stages of his career he pumped out some incredible ones with his remix of ‘Your Body’ being possibly one of his best. Released as the closing track to the deluxe edition of Christina Aguilera’s album ‘Lotus’ this remix displayed the incredible talent of Garrix in the early stages of his career. With powerful melodies, creative structure, and masterful builds in tension he was able to show off his massive potential in what is a wildly underappreciated track.
Stellar (Martin Garrix Remix) – Daddys Groove
The year after the release of his remix of ‘Your Body’, he would come out with another thumping remix in the form of ‘Stellar.’ He managed to take the original progressive house feel of the track and transform it into an earthquake starting big room house banger that deserved a lot more attention than it got. Though this track may not have had big commercial success, it was another track that would gain Martin Garrix praise from fellow artists and would also start to establish his signature sound.
Alive – YTRAM
In 2020 Martin Garrix would unveil his new alias YTRAM which to date he has only released three songs under with one of them being ‘Alive.’ This enchanting piece of tech house is a long way from his usual sound, but the Dutch DJ takes to it with style producing an excellent track that unfortunately wouldn’t get much attention. The YTRAM alias wasn’t pushed much by Garrix and has since faded into obscurity, although he has announced a performance as YTRAM at the STMPD RCRDS label night later this year which could mean new YTRAM music.
Going Home – AREA21
It’s crazy to think that it took till 2021 for Martin Garrix to release his first album ‘Greatest Hits Vol.1’ under the alias of AREA21. AREA21 is the most successful of Garrix’s alternate aliases with most of the tracks garnering millions upon millions of streams, however at the end of the album there’s a track that seemingly flew under the radar. ‘Going Home’ is a truly touching track that has Garrix’s incredible euphoric energy with a fantastic vocal performance from Maejor that closes the album in emphatic style.
