At the helm of his beloved label, Marsman preaches the ‘Pinkman sound’ to congregations of devoted followers. Holding court for over ten years now, he released more than 100 records and hosted countless club nights all over the world. Marsman’s DJing can ride through uplifting synths and thunderous drum patterns that are equally suited to dark, sweat-drenched basements and cavernous industrial warehouses. But dig beneath the dirt and there’s brightness to be found, with a glossy Italo sheen never far from Marsman’s selections.
And he’s done it at all the best spots the Netherlands has to offer, with appearances at Dekmantel Festival, Garage Noord, PIP, Drift Festival and Intergalactic FM. Further afield, he played at renowned international clubs like Panorama Bar and Tresor (Berlin), Khidi (Tbilisi) and FOLD (London).
Beyond all this, he’s a founding member of cherished radio station Operator, and previously ran the sorely missed Pinkman record store in the heart of Rotterdam’s creative Schieblock, giving Marsman a well-deserved cult hero status for independent music in the harbour city and far, far beyond.
