STMPD RCRDS Announces Label Night At AFAS Live
It’s a few months away yet, but in October STMPD RCRDS have planned an insane lineup for their label night that is already getting fans excited. The biggest names on the label performing, a special guest that’s yet to be announced, and the return of a seemingly forgotten pseudonym of Martin Garrix have all got people talking.
Kicking off the night is YTRAM which is a pseudonym of Martin Garrix that a lot of people had forgotten about or maybe even haven’t heard of before. The name came from his early days DJing where he used the name DJ Marty, and YTRAM is simply Marty backwards. YTRAM first appeared in 2020 with the track ‘Make You Mine’ which was followed up with ‘Fire’ and ‘Alive’ which had somewhat of a tech house feel which was a far cry from the music Garrix had previously released. These would be the only releases and there’s been no talk of the YTRAM pseudonym since, but now it’s making a return which could mean there’s going to be some new music.
Later on in the night Julian Jordan is on the lineup doing a B2B set with an artist whose name is blurred, but it is still fairly easy to identify that the blurred-out name is Dillon Francis which is very exciting. This is one of the many amazing B2B sets of the night including Justin Mylo and Mesto, DubVision and Matisse & Sadko, and Blinders & Vluarr to name a few. All the B2B sets have the perfect pairing of artists that can blend their styles together smoothly and should make for some incredible sets.
The 2AM slot for the night is where the special guest will be performing and with it being an hour and a half it’s looking like it’ll be a big artist. There aren’t any rumours yet of who it could be though some fans are speculating that it might be Martin Garrix as his famous ‘plus, ex’ logo is alongside where ‘Special Guest’ is written. It’s certainly possible that it could be the legendary Dutch DJ doing a second set following on from his YTRAM performance at the start of the night but nothing is confirmed. One thing’s for sure, this is going to be one hell of an event.
