Dutch progressive house superstar Martin Garrix has found his name in the sort of headlines that raise more questions than they answer as of late. This clearly isn’t lost on him, as he’s taken to the Twitter account for his newly launched STMPD RCRDS to answer several of his fans’ inquiries.
While he neglected to address that the angular emblem for his new imprint looks like a discount OWSLA logo, he did reveal how “STMPD” is pronounced (which became the topic of fervent debate throughout the EDM blogosphere). Apparently it’s “stamped” – not “stomped” or a less phonetic initialism.
@N0THINGT0UL0USE my dad has a stamp auctioning company so I thought it’d be fun to use the word Stamps haha lol #STMPDRCRDS

On a more personal note, he revealed that a drunk partygoer accidentally put out a cigarette on his face:

Perhaps most interestingly, however, was his revealing that he and another former Spinnin’ signee Julian Jordan have a collaboration in the works – which suggests that their individual departures from the Dutch label, far apart as they might have been, were perhaps somewhat coordinated.
@http_juliia_ @JulianJordan @jayhardway 2 new collabs with both!!
