[Darran]
Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of The DJ Sessions Presents The Virtual Sessions. I’m your host, Darran. And right now, I’m sitting in the virtual studios in Seattle, Washington, and coming in all the way from the other half way around the world from Copenhagen.

We have Martin Jensen here today on the show. Martin, how’s it going?

[Martin Jensen]
It’s going very well, Darran. Thank you for having me today.

[Darran]
Absolutely. And want to give a shout out to all those viewers watching on Martin Jensen TV as well and those tuning in on Instagram. Thanks for the shout out, Martin.

Pleasure to have you here today. We’re going to have some fun. Got you here.

It looks like you’re in a spaceship right now. Where are you at?

[Martin Jensen]
It’s just in my home studio, actually.

[Darran]
Your home studio.

[Martin Jensen]
It’s my bedroom studio.

[Darran]
Like I said, those chairs look like something out of like Elon Musk’s spaceships or something.

[Martin Jensen]
You’re actually sitting super well in there. I actually believe it’s gaming chairs, but I had a very nice deal with Razer. I don’t have any longer, so.

[Darran]
Well, I have a deal with Mackie, but I’m not going to take my shirt off. Awesome. You know, so you recently just hit 4 million monthly listeners on Spotify, correct?

Was that a month ago? Now it’s probably 5 million, right?

[Martin Jensen]
No, it’s actually, you get it to sound very super nice, but I have actually never been this low since I started in 2016. So COVID has striked pretty hard for me. So, but for the first time in a long time, the numbers have started going up again because I started releasing a lot more music.

And that is also, I believe, why we’re talking now because new music is coming out and I’m finishing a full EP at the minute with six new tracks, a completely different lane than what I’ve done so far.

[Darran]
And how many mistakes have you made and how many of them have been favorite?

[Martin Jensen]
That is very nice to link it into that one, I must say. So favorite mistake is my latest single I just have out on the streets now, together with a guy called Hedegaard, a Danish guy, and then Victoria Nadine, a Norwegian singer. And yeah, it’s just of the old sketch man melody and I really like it.

I really dig that tune and it’s going super well in China and the rest of the world as well. We just got the radio ads added in the States as well. So I’m really pleased with that.

[Darran]
And are you able, do you have an upcoming tour coming up or anything? Are you playing? I know you were just in Tomorrowland.

That was a while, I guess that was a while ago. I just got back from Berlin. I was at Rave the Planet a few weeks back.

[Martin Jensen]
Oh, nice.

[Darran]
That was insane. I’ve never, I was on the Riverside Studios, had a truck, bus, super bus, truck, double decker with like, I mean, have you been to Rave the Planet before or Love Parade? Oh my gosh, 300,000 people, eight hours of just driving around on these mega like semi-trailer party things with the nightclub sound systems on.

It was just amazing. I haven’t heard about it. Yeah, it just started up.

This was its third year running. Used to be called Love Parade. Oh, I know that one.

Yeah, so Love Parade at a Dr. Mott, Mott Day, Dr. Mott Day, he came back and then now it’s called Rave the Planet. It was just phenomenal. What’s your most difficult thing you have to deal with when you’re on tour, when you’re out there going around the world?

[Martin Jensen]
So I would say sleep.

[Darran]
Sleep?

[Martin Jensen]
Yeah, sleep.

[Darran]
Rain never gets in the way?

[Martin Jensen]
No, screw rain. Rain doesn’t matter really. More the sleep, that’s tough for me because you just have to play good enough music to get people staying in the rain.

[Darran]
Yeah, and do you sometimes get fed up with playing and making music? And how do you deal with that when you’re on tour? Do you ever have a burnout moment?

Like, oh, I just don’t wanna get up today or what gets you over that hump?

[Martin Jensen]
I’m really doing a lot of sessions and riding camps and stuff like that. So not a long time ago, I think I’ve done four riding camps this summer over a week of a period of each. So it’s been really amazing and I have so much new music, it’s insane.

So as I said, that will become an EP very soon. And then I’m actually also looking into releasing an album and then I’m looking into releasing another EP, but that’s gonna be in the summertime next year.

[Darran]
And are you allowed to let us know or let our DJ sessions fans know or your fans know any of the A-list collaborations, any of the people you’re working with right now? Or is that also- You know what?

[Martin Jensen]
So I have been working with more or less every single one, no, not every single one, but I’ve been working with a lot of the triple A’s. And I’ve been working with way more than I’ve released with, because then you’re making a track with yada yada and it’s gonna be amazing. The management is like, wow, this is fucking great.

The record label is like, yeah, let’s just fly. And then at the point where you have to upload the track, certainly the management from the yada yada artist is just out. Oh, we can’t do it right now because we have something else to do.

So I’ve been disappointed so incredibly many times. So I really don’t wanna sit and think about who could possibly be on, who could not be on, and who will actually be on it.

[Darran]
Yeah, you know, it’s a… Are you working, do you have your own label or do you release on your own label or do you- So I recently just opened my own label again.

[Martin Jensen]
So I opened my label for the very first time in 2020, just before COVID, just before COVID, I opened my label. But I was very certain that when I’m opening my own label, I want to have a continuing flowing of release of music. So I don’t wanna just open a label and then release five, 10 singles and then die.

You have seen this so many times and I don’t wanna do that kind of stuff. When I do stuff, I do it fully in. And it was the touring that was founding the label.

And 2019, 18, whatever, 2020, it was like how it looked in my tour calendar, like I could open 10 record labels with all the touring I did because it could fund it all. Just to like give new DJs, give new talents the opportunity to release music and actually to be seen and actually I would play the tracks in my sets and stuff like that. But getting from, getting from, you know, having a good amount of money for touring, like let’s be real, you’re making good amount of money when you’re touring 120 shows a year.

To do zero shows with no income whatsoever, then I didn’t wanna do the label because I couldn’t fund the label. I couldn’t like push the money into the singles that have to be released to do the artworks, to do the visuals, to do the music videos, to do yada yada, all this stuff. And so I pulled back.

So I was like, oh, nothing is going out. But recently with my management, we just decided to open the label again and we haven’t released anything yet, but it’s getting there to like having a good amount of tracks. And if somebody’s sitting out there with some tracks and stuff like that, they can always send the track to me and say, hey, could it be something for the label?

[Darran]
That was gonna be my next question is, are you doing open submissions or is it just your own internal productions? Because we’ve toyed over here. I keep talking about this on the DJ sessions over and over again.

We’ve thought about launching our own label here at the DJ sessions. And the question is, okay, well, do we do open submissions? Do we only work with our own producers?

Do we only do internals? And who’s gonna listen to all these tracks when they do start coming through the door? How do you decide what’s our genre gonna be?

What’s our sound gonna be like? What are we gonna want to be known for? If we need to start a label and have that come out, are we gonna just open it up to all different genres?

I mean, our website is definitely positioned. A little something on the backend, I’ve been wanting to release here for the longest time. It’s basically an online music store at the backend.

Like I had it built into the site. It’s really awesome. I haven’t activated that feature yet.

So when you’re working, you’re doing these writing camps. You said you’ve done four of them already this year. Is that an online or in-person?

Just this summer. Oh, just this summer. Just this summer.

Okay, and how long are those classes? How long do those go for?

[Martin Jensen]
We normally start 10, 11 in the morning and then we go until five, eight, depends of the mood, depends of the studios. Like what are they up for? Like some, I went to Amsterdam for Amara Studios when I went to a writing camp with them and the studio closed down at, I think it was five or six and then we had to get out.

But when I did them here in Denmark, we were going to 2 a.m., so. Wow. It depends.

[Darran]
Does each student, I mean, you’re working with students, I take this, correct? It’s like you’re teaching or?

[Martin Jensen]
No, no, this writing camp’s for me, so.

[Darran]
Oh, writing camp’s for you?

[Martin Jensen]
Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, wow. This is actually for me. Like, so it is with like one or two engineers, one or two songwriters and one or two singers, depends of how the mood is and how we do it.

[Darran]
Okay, okay, okay. Let’s see, I’m not more versed in the music industry like I should be, right? Yeah.

So, you know, going back to the label thing, what’s the most important thing that labels should be doing for their artists? And on the whole, do you see that they’re doing a good job at that?

[Martin Jensen]
No. No, what are they doing? They’re not doing a good job, they’re really not.

So, the thing is, I understand the labels at the minute, but the issue is, the issue is like, they probably release, what, 50,000 tracks every Friday? At least. They’re probably more?

I don’t understand, like, how should they take, okay, this track we invest 100,000 euro into. Oh, it didn’t get any place. Bye-bye money.

Like, it’s like buying NFT, you know? So, when you’re getting a big artist, you get big numbers. Me as an example, like, they can be assured that at least the investment will come back, more or less depends on how much we spend.

But let’s say, one of your students, whatever, I don’t know what you have, says like, DJ Keyboard, he wanna release a track, and the track is probably the best in the world. But nobody listens to it. And you invest tons of money into it.

The money’s lost. So, I kinda get the labels like, okay, we don’t really wanna, you know, take all in. And nowadays, I don’t know the names of the AI, but you can legit get them to write the lyrics, sing the lyrics, produce the track, copyright free.

Why should they give half of the publishing, half of the royalties to me, when they can get this cable to earn all the money? I understand it because it’s playlist. Go in and ask, like, the viewers right now.

So, like, how many of you guys actually know the name, the artist’s name of the track that you’re listening to right now on your Spotify playlist? If it’s not Charlie XCX, if it’s not Bruno Mars, if it’s not David Guetta, if it’s not DJ Snake, you know, nobody knows.

[Darran]
Yeah, I mean, it is interesting. You bring up the topic of AI, and what is your take on AI in looking at it from a music perspective? Do you see it being a disruption to the industry or an add-on?

[Martin Jensen]
Yeah, but I think we have to go, now I’m the young generation in this kind of, for what I’m gonna mention now. So, we can go back and say, like, when the computer came. So, now suddenly you could get Ableton, you can get Logic, you can get FL, you can, whatever you fucking want.

You can produce music, like, with a finger snap. You can even doing garage band. Some tracks even produced in that one has actually uploaded and been great tracks.

That thing from the old school, the old people, sorry.

[Darran]
But- Yeah, I’m one of those old people now. I turned 50 last weekend.

[Martin Jensen]
Yeah, well, I’m so sorry. You look younger.

[Darran]
Thank you.

[Martin Jensen]
No, but, like, they were swearing to hell for, like, getting these programs. When they would, like, start doing, everybody could start doing course, not even, they didn’t have to play, they can just, like, type them in. What do you call that?

I forgot the name in English now. Where you actually just draw the keys. You draw the notes.

You don’t even have to play the keys. Yeah, exactly. You don’t even have to play the keys.

That was cheating. Everything is cheating.

[Darran]
No, I remember being in seventh grade choir and the music teacher at the school, he, I mean, obviously this is in the 80s. He goes, I could hear the difference between a synthesized drum and a real drum. And he was kind of completely anti-synthesization.

Yeah. Electronic music at that point. But now with it getting so, you know, over 30, 40 years.

[Martin Jensen]
Oh, you can’t hear the difference.

[Darran]
You can’t hear the difference. I don’t think a person could be, yeah, you couldn’t at all.

[Martin Jensen]
You know, but the case I want to say with the AI, I was coming to that part. I’m sorry I’m interrupting, Darran. But the thing is, like, so either you can be a math and an old person and, like, oh, you can hear AI now, or you can just jump on it and just use it because AI would be better and will be better than any of us because it will legit take the whole freaking Max Martin, the whole back catalog he have ever made and write the best freaking song ever written in less than one second.

[Darran]
You know, in less than one second, yeah.

[Martin Jensen]
And you can even, you can either take it or you can be a dinosaur and die. Yeah, that’s my take on AI. Yeah, yeah.

I’ve not been confident myself yet to actually using AI in it and releasing a track produced by AI. I’m not there yet, but personally, I’m using AI for everything else in my life, like everything.

[Darran]
Yeah, no, I mean, I just started getting into a few of them because, you know, I like to transcode my shows. So that way, when people go to our website, they can translate it into like 50 different languages and just using AI to do something like that and not have to pay somebody. It’s not that I’m anti-paying somebody, you know, that I’m against paying somebody or a human being to do this job, these tasks, but it just simplifies things so much easier, makes things so much easier.

No, but you have a business running.

[Martin Jensen]
Why should you pay somebody that AI can actually take over? And then, so it will be the exact same thing as when the computer came and was like, oh, but then we don’t need a drummer. No, but then your drummer need to learn to produce and actually do it.

And you see now what you can get video generating now with the RunRay. And people is like, oh yeah, but then you don’t need animators any longer. No, your animator just need to use RunRay faster than you are, and then you’re good.

Everyone have a phone nowadays, so everyone could film something, right? And it’s like, oh yeah, but like, then you cannot use a professional videographer because you have a phone. No, but you still pay a professional one.

So it just depends how you master your craft to use AI because the world would still do it anyway.

[Darran]
Yeah, and it’s funny you bring up the fact the phone, the videographer, because that kind of leads me right into another topic I wanted to talk with you about. What is your take about seeing the app? When did you start your career?

Professionally, 2015. 15, okay. So you’ve been around since the advent of the cell phone and seeing it in the marketplace.

How I came across a story recently where people, the band, they had their main song they were playing, but no, they weren’t feeling the audience because everyone was filming it. And it’s like, you’re supposed to be watching the concert, not doing this. And recently when I was in Berlin, the nightclubs there, they’ll put stickers over your phone.

And it’s kind of like, yeah, well, if you want photos, go get a photo by our professional photographer that we have roaming around the club, or you want a video, but we want you to have this enjoyed experience. We had a party here called No Signal, a few of them. And it was like, you had to leave your cell phone at the door.

And I know that there’s some clubs that are out there. They put them in these magnetic sealed bags, and then you could take it out. Once you get to the bar, you could undo it and take it out and put it back in the bag, but you couldn’t go into the venue area.

And what’s your take on that? Like having the cell phone experience, or do you feel that it takes away from your performance in any way, shape or form?

[Martin Jensen]
So, there’s a few takes on that one. So, first of all, if people don’t have your phone, that they don’t have the phone and can’t film it, there’s like the concert didn’t happen, right? So, for me personally, when people are filming me, it is free marketing.

So, if people don’t film me, then no marketing, you know? And then I would say another thing, and that would probably, would take it a little bit apart, because if the whole crowd is filming what you’re doing, and no one else is standing and listening to the music, first of all, you’re having a freaking amazing track and you should be very pleased with that. Second, you’re not a good enough performer.

Okay. If you’re a good enough performer, you could take people away the phone and just be there. If you can bring as much energy into the crowd, so people start forgetting about, hey, we have to film this, and just go on with bangers, bangers, bangers, your own, mix them, mashups, bootlegs, whatever.

If you can do that, then you’re doing a craft. If you can’t, yeah, you can be ashamed of what you didn’t feel the crowd, but hey, you at least get something out of it on social media. But if you’re good enough, you can get people actually to enjoy the party and actually be there to listen to the music.

That is my point of view on it.

[Darran]
I think I saw something recently, two different videos online. One, I think was Bad Boy Bill, and he was getting ready right in the middle of his drop, and somebody took their phone and they got thrown on the stage and hit the button almost like perfectly and stopped the whole show with the phone. And then there was somebody else that were in the crowd.

I think somebody grabbed their phone and threw it on the stage. And there was like a hip hop artist or some big, big artist. And they picked the phone up off the stage and just went, went back out in the audience.

[Martin Jensen]
Yes, I had that phone was gone.

[Darran]
Have you ever had something like that happen where you’ve had some major screw up happen that you had to recover from during a major show?

[Martin Jensen]
Not by myself. I had a mixer going out twice at the same show and just died and then woke up again and died. Yeah, that was pretty annoying, but that’s it.

I’ve not really have anything. No, I wouldn’t say, no, no. Not that that comes to mind.

[Darran]
Well, that’s fingers crossed, right? Fingers crossed. So how is, oh, I thought somebody was knocking on your door.

That was you. Yeah, exactly. Knock on wood, right?

Gotcha. How often do you get to actually sit and read the news? I was on your Instagram the other day and I saw you actually took some time.

You were reading the newspaper. Is that like a pastime hobby of yours or was it just a candid photo?

[Martin Jensen]
That one was just a photo, but I’m actually watching the news every night. I’m always watching the news. I like to know what’s happening outside in the world.

[Darran]
Yeah, what’s your favorite go-to source for news?

[Martin Jensen]
Obviously, it’s Danish news. Danish news.

[Darran]
Danish news, Danish news, okay, awesome.

[Martin Jensen]
Not any international ones.

[Darran]
And when you’re not entertaining others, what do you do to entertain yourself? Entertain myself? Yeah.

[Martin Jensen]
Oh, that’s a whole nother question. I don’t think we can bring that on this channel, can we? No.

You can if you want.

[Darran]
It’s on your channel too, so.

[Martin Jensen]
Okay, what do I actually do? What do I do? I like watching, what the fuck do I do?

I don’t know. I don’t really have any much spare time alone. I don’t know.

I go to the sauna. I go to the sauna. I go to the sauna very often, yes.

[Darran]
All right, there you go. Go to the sauna, chill. Yeah.

Watch the news.

[Martin Jensen]
Exactly, training, running, go to the sauna, get some lunch, take a nap, wake up, do some work. That’s basically my everyday. It’s very nice.

[Darran]
Now wait, isn’t Copenhagen known for its ski resorts? Am I right on that?

[Martin Jensen]
Oh, you’re gonna be very sad if you’re coming to Copenhagen for skiing. I need to get out there.

[Darran]
I need to get out more. I need more stamps in my passport. That’s one of my new things to do.

[Martin Jensen]
You’re gonna be very disappointed, I promise you.

[Darran]
If somebody were to write a biography about you, what do you think the title should be?

[Martin Jensen]
We can ask Ted TPT.

[Darran]
We can, go for it.

[Martin Jensen]
Here we go.

[Darran]
I actually don’t know.

[Martin Jensen]
No, let’s do it.

[Darran]
Let’s do it right now. We’ll pull it up. I got you.

[Martin Jensen]
Are you working on it? Who’s the fastest? Are you working on it?

Yeah, I’m working on it right now. Oh, got this.

[Darran]
I mean, Artin Jensen, DJ, bio, title. Oh, this is a first. Suitable title for Martin Jensen’s DJ biography could be Martin Jensen, the Danish DJ refining global dance floor.

So, hey, thanks Chad TPT. No, no. I can’t get that to work on my end for whatever reason.

You get the fireworks. You get the heart emoji.

[Martin Jensen]
That’s amazing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I totally agree with Chad TPT right now.

[Darran]
Hmm. This title emphasizes his nationality, his role as a DJ and his impact on the global music scene. Okay.

Hey, I’m a publisher now, right? We’re gonna go publish this book.

[Martin Jensen]
That sounds even better than what I have.

[Darran]
Is there anything else you’d like to let our DJ sessions fans know before we let you go?

[Martin Jensen]
Yeah, I think it’s a bit like, is there a comment session because I can’t see them what I’m in now.

[Darran]
I have them on my chat in, if we wanna go ahead and here, let’s watch this.

[Martin Jensen]
Maybe because I did it full screen, maybe. I got it. Ah, I got it there.

So sorry, I’ve made full screen.

[Darran]
Let me get some shout outs to some people.

[Martin Jensen]
No, I will just see if somebody texted and what they texted. So guys, I’m really happy. So there’s people that said I should stream more often.

I know I would love to, but yeah, you actually see the DJ booth is right behind me and I used to stream from it as well in COVID times. Now, so like, I would just say like, if you’re sitting out there and you really wanna become a DJ, I believe it’s harder now than ever because everyone can legit make a track from AI. So you have to stand out.

And if you stand out enough, then you will becoming one of the best DJs in the world. That’s my best thing to say at the minute.

[Darran]
It’s so funny. It happens quite frequently on the show. You don’t know the questions.

I did not send you these questions in advance. No. My question I was just gonna ask you was, is there something you’d like to say to new and up and coming producers to watch out for when it comes to making their careers successful?

[Martin Jensen]
It’s not my first interview. I’m just like, let me just try to answer some of the comments because I actually saw them now. Somebody want a sauna stream?

[Darran]
Yeah, sauna streams.

[Martin Jensen]
Also on Android, I remember. I actually remember these guys in Team Deutschland. I will see you in the chat too.

Black Swan is there too. Like these are my old guys I used to stream to. I actually remember them.

And Togo, same. Wow, that’s great. That’s actually really great.

No, I’m not gonna do any more Danish music, guys. I’m so sorry. Like I did a Danish track on Danish, but yeah, no, just no.

I’m not gonna do that anymore. I’m back to focus on like the world and that’s the thing I’ve always done. Like since I started professionally, I didn’t go from local.

I just went for the international ones. And I’ve been here now for almost 10 years. So I believe something is done okay.

[Darran]
Well, you know, gotta check out that song, Favorite Mistakes, out there now. Go get it, go listen to it, download it. Add to more of those four million monthly listeners on Spotify.

Congratulations on that, Martin. Where’s the best place people can find out information about you?

[Martin Jensen]
Yeah, I wish I was more present on the internet. I really wish, but it’s because I’m redoing a lot of stuff. I’m rebranding a lot of stuff right now.

And I need to figure out a way where, where I can like express myself better, kinda. Where daily stuff’s not gonna become boring stuff, which is also another thing for DJs nowadays. What are you gonna post?

Like, oh, I’m driving in my car now. Now I’m making breakfast. Now I’m making lunch.

It’s so much things you have to do. You have to compare with TikTokers. You have to compare with YouTubers.

That’s a thing. That’s a thing that’s apparent. I saw a festival the other day that had YouTubers on the line.

I was like, what the fuck are they gonna do? Are they gonna make a video on stage? I don’t know.

It’s weird. So I was very confused there, I must say. What was your question again?

Now you knocked me out.

[Darran]
I can’t actually remember what it was.

[Martin Jensen]
I’m so sorry.

[Darran]
No, where’s the best place people can find out information about you?

[Martin Jensen]
That’s true. The best place would be Instagram.

[Darran]
Okay.

[Martin Jensen]
It would be. Like, I’m posting now that, and I also actually just posted a very interesting video today on my story today. You should actually check it out.

It’s very weird, but it’s also weird. I did my very first workout called EMS. EMS, where you’re getting a bodysuit on, where it’s like electricity in it. And then there’s electricity in your body and your train.

That is really fucked up. What? You’re doing a 90 minutes workout in 20 minutes.

It’s amazing. You guys should try it. And if you hate somebody, give a gift card to it because it hurts a lot.

[Darran]
Okay. Oh, I see you. Okay.

Sometimes you need to try new things. Yeah. What’s going on here now?

That bodysuit is full of electricity. Hang on a second here. Let’s screen share this right now.

We’re gonna screen share this. Hang on. We gotta go back in the video.

Hang on here. Before I screen share it. Oh my God.

What are you doing? Hang on. There we go.

There we go. So you’re doing this full body workout thingy.

[Martin Jensen]
Yeah. It’s also a very sexy suit. I must say.

Hey, there’s the commercial for the channel. Woo. Yeah.

Oh, I’m big now. No, that was an interesting workout. That really was.

[Darran]
Is it like one of those, the shotgun suits, like pulsates and, is that what that suit does?

[Martin Jensen]
They just give you electricity. I don’t know how to explain it. It’s like, you just power into your muscles.

So you cramp, kind of, but then you have to work against it. And that is very, very interesting. Wow.

That’ll be the word for me. It’s very interesting.

[Darran]
Almost like something you’d wear if you were in virtual reality or something like the movie Ready Player One, where you’re gonna- Nope.

[Martin Jensen]
Not like that? Nope. Nope.

No, I don’t think so you would wear that. I have not. And even in weird German sex games, I wouldn’t wear it either.

Like, that’s weird.

[Darran]
Nice. Speaking of virtual reality, we’re gonna wrap up here, but have you done anything in VR or looking to do anything in VR? No.

No? Good talk. Virtual reality.

[Martin Jensen]
Nope. No, I’ve not. I’ve not.

No, I’ve not. I, no. No.

[Darran]
Yeah. I think it has still a little ways to go.

[Martin Jensen]
Yeah. So, no. Like, some DJs have done it and I don’t really believe it’s work.

And, yeah, I don’t know. No, not for me. Not yet.

I never say never, but for me, not yet.

[Darran]
So Fortnite comes to you and knocking on the door after this interview, you’re gonna say, nah, nah, I’m cool. I’m not gonna do it.

[Martin Jensen]
No, like, depends. You know, I’m not gonna make my own world to do it. That’s for sure.

And then I’ve not really understood META yet and I should probably get started on it. I’m really aware of that, but yeah, it’s not my thing yet.

[Darran]
