There are few DJ’s in the world at the moment who can claim to be hotter than Martin Garrix.
At the tender age of 17 Garrix is truly taking the world by storm as proved by the sea of fans flocking to the main stage at Future Music Festival this year by 1.30pm in the afternoon.
In March, Garrix was announced as one of BBC Radio 1’s new roster of resident DJs, alongside Tiesto, Bromance founder Brodinski and trance name Simon Patterson. On Thursday night London time, Garrix stepped up for his first Radio 1 show and over one hour, the 17-year-old worked through a selection of the tracks he’s been enjoying.
“So much good music in store tonight,” dance music’s youngest superstar introduced, as he took the reins at BBC Radio 1’s legendary studios for the first time last week. “My name is Martin Garrix and this is BBC Radio 1’s residency.”
While his fellow new inductees are no stranger to radio – Tiesto mans “Tiesto’s Club Life”, the most-downloaded podcast on the internet, and Brodinski and Patterson both have previous stints at Radio 1’s “In New DJs We Trust” show to their name – the BBC residency was Martin Garrix’s first time on the airwaves.
“Radio 1 are big supporters of my track Animals and are taste makers in the world when it comes to dance music on the radio,” he said when the residency was first announced. “I’m excited to be a part of that.” Listen to his debut Radio 1 show below;
