Coming off a transformative year marked by artistic reinvention and personal growth, LA-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Martron enters 2026 with renewed clarity and momentum. Following the release of his emotionally charged ‘Resurgence’ EP and a run of standout singles that earned support from some of electronic music’s most influential names, Martron has proven that perseverance and vulnerability can be just as powerful as heavy basslines. We caught up with him to reflect on the highs and hurdles of 2025, the music that changed his life, and what lies ahead in the next chapter of his journey.

Hey Martron, thanks for taking the time to speak with us! How was your holiday/new year’s?

Thank you for having me! Both were good thanks for asking, it’s always nice during this season to hit the pause button, reflect on the year and get some rest. One of my favorite things to do during this time of the year is watch the Extended Lord of The Rings Trilogy, for some reason it hits differently compared to when I watch it at any other time.

Looking back on 2025, what were your biggest and proudest achievements?

I think the 2 things I’d point to are the making of my EP “Resurgence” and my personal growth.

Regarding Resurgence, it’s honestly the most proud of a project I’ve ever been. It all came together in a month on a new laptop after the last one broke down and after a lot of progress on previous projects was lost. I recently shared a few days ago that losing that progress coupled with my mental health struggles at the time had me contemplating giving up making music. Obviously I decided against that and to not only see what came from me artistly during that time, but to see the reception the EP got when it dropped was wild. The articles, the messages I’ve gotten about it, the fact that it was on the radio for a while and charted internationally, I was honestly in disbelief when all of this happened. Resurgence means so much to me and shares a message of hope, perseverance, an emphasis on never giving up and remaining true to yourself. To see this message resonate with so many people all over the world is awesome and motivating.

Regarding my personal growth, I started doing a lot of work on my physical, mental and spiritual health last year and I’ve never felt better in all 3 of those areas than I do now. I started doing things like working out more consistently, going to therapy and continuing to grow closer to God, all of which have really helped me acknowledge and tackle issues that in years past I had a more difficult time addressing. It’s done wonders for my confidence and I have a lot of people to thank for helping me get here.

2025 also saw you release a bunch of amazing music, which one stands out as your personal favorite?

I’ve been pretty vocal in saying Always is not only my favorite track I’ve made of 2025 but it’s up there for my favorite track I’ve ever made. Always is the backbone of the Resurgence EP and a monumental track for me personally, I’m pretty confident in saying it changed my life. It became a huge motivator for me and I hope it’s a track that can inspire others to not give up and to fight through what they’re going through. The other part of course is what it was like to make the track and leaning very hard into my classical routes. Producing it, playing piano and flute on it, singing on it, the writing process for Always was so natural and everything felt like it fell in the correct places. One of my favorite parts about making it was piecing together the melody of the vocal chops in the drops, it flows so well together and kind of feels like a call and response between the different octave changes. I can go on about Always for hours, I love it so much.

You’ve also earned support from artists such as ODESZA, NGHTMRE, and SLANDER. How has it been to see your music get endorsed by artists of that magnitude?

Honestly it’s insane to think about. I’m very grateful for and motivated by any support that’s given to my music, but to get that support from artists I grew up listening to is special. A good example is Steve Aoki, his influence and contributions to the dance music scene are massive. So to not only have a couple tracks drop on Dim Mak but to hear him shout me out on one of his “Aoki’s House” episodes was unreal. It still is and I couldn’t be more appreciative of him and Dim Mak for the support and opportunities they’ve given me and my music. Support from artists and labels like that tells me I’m doing something right and I owe it to myself as well as the people who’ve shown me support to continue to grow and get better.

Does that cross-genre support shape your approach to production?

Oh 100% how could it not? I’m someone who wants to remain a student of the game, always looking to learn and soak in knowledge. I love making and listening to all kinds of music, so whenever I get the chance, I always try to learn something from watching others produce or from listening to and discovering music. Then I take what I’ve learned and implement it into my own work. 2 examples of some recent releases I’ve been inspired by are Skrillex’s “hit me where it hurts x” EP and Tems’ “Love Is A Kingdom” EP. My ears have been glued to both of these, both have a lot to say and show off some incredible artistry. They’re both examples of a major thing I’ve learned over the years, which is that you can teach someone all the techniques in the world for how to make music, but the thing I see people tend to gravitate to the most is the personal touch or style of whoever is creating the music. That “it” factor or flavor that can’t be taught or truly replicated. Take 3 artists I love for example: Feed Me, Fred Again.. and Peggy Gou. All 3 of them are amazing not just because they’re good at what they do, it’s also because they’re so unapologetically themselves and that’s clearly shown in whatever they make. Their music is an extension of themselves and that’s something I strive to achieve and keep consistent when it comes to my own music.

Going into 2026, what are your goals and aims for the coming 12 months?

My general goals when it comes to music are to get better everyday, be better than last year in every way, work with more artists, play more shows and take more risks. Of course there are specific artists I’d love to get noticed by and work with, festivals, venues and shows I’d love to play and labels I’d love to have releases on. I’m a very ambitious person so I tend to shoot for the stars no matter how improbable or difficult to achieve those goals are, but there’s so much I want to do. All I can do is work hard and let God steer things from there.

Personally speaking, one of my goals this year is to travel more. I’ve always been an adventurous person and love exploring, but the last time I left the country was August of 2024 when I took a trip to Guatemala. I’d like to visit countries like Japan, Italy, England and Croatia to name a few, but we’ll see what happens.

As you move into the next phase of releases, are you more focused on standalone singles like ‘Feel It’ or building toward a larger, cohesive project such as EPs and albums?

Well I’ve been buried in the studio working on an EP since June of last year. Contrary to Resurgence, I’ve been taking my time with this one, I’ve needed the extra time to get everything right. Especially because as I’ve continued to grow, regain confidence and learn more about myself, my music needs to be held to the same standard and reflect that growth. I’m working on a lot of new music right now that I’m either putting back together from when my laptop broke down or is entirely brand new and that stuff will come out in due time, some of which will be standalone singles in the same way Feel It was. But the EP has been my top priority.

And finally, do you have any special news you’d like to reveal to our readers?

There’s a lot going on behind the scenes right now that I’m really excited about, but some stuff I either can’t discuss yet or want to wait a little longer before discussing publicly. What I can say with 100% confidence is this: Not only is my new EP very close to done, you won’t have to wait long for it.
