Martin Buttrich is famously as fluent behind a mixing console as in front of a virtual drum kit. That technical prowess, combined with a fascination for music of every shape, has resulted in outstanding releases on influential labels such as Planet E, Four:Twenty, Cocoon, Poker Flat, Nervous and Desolat. He's also put his sonic thumbprint on many big ticket artists, notably receiving a Grammy nomination for a Tori Amos remix in 2003 and more recently remixing Tracey Thorne to wide acclaim. Such diverse musical horizons are rare. While other prolific artists may have slowly watered down their music, Buttrich's star has risen in diametric opposition. His vision has become more and more condensed, more and more crystallized. Flipping and puncturing grooves in a live setting is a snap for him, and he's entranced audiences at festivals like Time Warp and Creamfields and at temples of boom such as Fabric (London), Womb (Tokyo), Cocoon (Frankfurt), Panorama Bar (Berlin) and Amnesia (Ibiza). Martin has just released his debut solo album Crash Test on Desolat, a project fusing wild imagination with solid musical architecture, cherry-picked inspiration with true perfection of his musical craft. Built the old-fashioned way - through dedication, driven by passion. Martin Buttrich can be seen on the Beatport stage at Movement 2010 in Detroit's Hart Plaza over Memorial Day weekend, May 29-31, 2010.

Have you played at Movement/DEMF festival before? If this is your first time what are your impressions of the festival?
This is my very first time at the Movement. I always wanted to go and now I even play at the festival. It makes me very proud to perform in a city especially like Detroit, where the music that came from had a big Influence on my music.
What track would be your tribute to Detroit?
Too much pressure!
Best DJ moment of 2010 so far
The Desolat US Bus Tour , Miami Conference and Timewarp in Mannheim (Germany) had definitely great moments!
