Azzido Da Bass (born Ingo Martens; 29 August 1971) is a German DJ and record producer based in Hamburg.
[citation needed] Over the years, Martens was influenced by a wide range of music genres: as a youth, he first became interested in hip hop and break dance; by the mid-1980s, he began collecting electronic and synthpop albums from groups such as Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk and Nitzer Ebb; a few years later, it was acid house and hardcore groups.
[1] Further inspired by the performances of local and international DJs on tour, Martens began his own DJ career in 1996 under the name Azzido Da Bass.
The performance was a success, opening the door to additional jobs in northern Germany performing in clubs, competitive events and private parties, and within four years, Da Bass was a significant player within the German techno music scene, with tours both domestically and internationally.
[3][4] Soon after, the song made major appearances around the world, including at the MTV Music Awards in 2000, several American and European commercials, and in the movie soundtrack to Angeled.
