Talk:Martin Garrix

Arbitrary change of date of birth
For days now, there has been a wave of arbitrary changes in Martin Garrix' actual date of birth all by anonymous editors who have changed the date of birth many times now without giving any substantiation or sources. I have returned now to our original year 1996 without further details as all sources say he is 17. Please do not change any more without giving substantiation as to exact date of birth. Incidentally the Dutch Wikipedia sticks to 14 May 1996 and the guy is Dutch artist. So they must know best. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Garrix werldwayd (talk) 21:23, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

The vandalizing of this page has to stop.
All the time this article keeps on getting edited with weird self-promotion and joke song titles, and songs that aren't even by Martin Garrix. It's just vandalism, and it's kinda getting me on my nerves. I wish somebody would just put a no-vandalizing policy on this article, or even better, lock it so that people can't edit it execpt for a few people. Does anyone think this is a good idea?

Addition of tropical house in the infobox
Well with the release of don't look down (ft. Usher), wouldn't it be appropriate if tropical house is added to the inbox? Has this already been suggested or something? -PotatoNinja123 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 15:05, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Just because that song has elements of tropical house doesn't mean it is tropical house. Also, tropical house is usually slower but this song is progressive so it's obviously not. Martin doesn't do tropical so it makes no sense to put it in his infobox. - '''TheMagnificentist (Talk to me!) 13:27, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Photo instead of Artwork
I think it is a better idea to set a photograph as the title image instead of an artwork. Massenmensch (talk) 15:55, 9 August 2016 (UTC)


 * The artwork is because we cannot find any actual non-copyrighted photograph of Martin Garrix. One cannot simply go on Google and get an image to put here because that's probably copyrighted. You have to take a photo of him yourself. — TheMagnificentist  ( talk  · ctb) 06:41, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

2016 MTV EMA's
Shouldn't we change the the outcome of the 2016 MTV EMA's from "nominated" to "pending" since the 2016 MTV EMA's has not been awarded yet? Jith12 (talk) 19:36, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Associated acts
, I noticed you added back a few of the associated acts that I removed. Concerning Afrojack, your reasoning is that they "toured with as a single collaboration act playing together". The article only mentions them appearing at one festival together in 2014. I wouldn't call that touring, so it there any other evidence that they actually toured? You've given the same reasoning for Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, but the only time they are mentioned in the article is in the line "...Garritsen released a remix of "Project T" by Sander Van Doorn and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike..." Is there any evidence of them touring? For Dillon Francis you say they collaborated on an album; the article only mentions him in relation to the vague "several new and unreleased tracks, including collaborations with Dillon Francis..." The discography only lists one single that they released together, so is there any evidence of an album? You added Mesto with the reasoning of multiple occasions. The article only mentions one song, but there are two listed in the discography, so I suppose that's ok. It would be nice if the article describes their association better rather than just a passing mention of one song. Finally, you added Jay Hardway and Bebe Rexha, but they are already in the list. So I'm sure you won't mind me removing them first. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 06:26, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I just assumed Afrojack and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike toured with Martin Garrix because they performed at multiple festivals together, in addition to releasing songs together. Dillon Francis collaborated with Garrix on his own album Money Sucks, Friends Rule. - TheMagnificentist (talk) 10:00, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The problem is that the infobox is supposed to be a summary of the article. So it should not be summarizing things which are not there. The article needs to be expanded with sourced information first, before things are added to the infobox. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 04:23, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Will you please help by expanding the article and adding them? I would do it when I can. - TheMagnificentist (talk) 07:25, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Legal issues
When dealing with contractual disputes, especially over copyright and royalties, we need to stick to third party sources and retain a neutral tone. If the case is on-going a summary mention is enough. Karst (talk) 15:44, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

What does this mean? Can someone pls clarify this?
"Garrix ghost writes tracks for other artists, and despite this, only one in fifty of his tracks have made it out to the public"

Does this mean he wrote alot of tracks but they have not been produced? Or? Please clarify — Preceding unsigned comment added by Accurate Nuanced Clear (talk • contribs) 09:45, 26 May 2017 (UTC)


 * It means Garrix wrote songs for other artists but only some was actually released. -  The  Magnificentist 10:28, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

DAW as an instrument
Since when is a DAW considered a musical instrument? Obviously the producer has to use some sort of keyboard interface to produce the music within the DAW. This is like saying a guitar pick or amplifier is an instrument too, because it's used in the creation and playing of music. ~ Dissident93  ( talk ) 04:47, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The keyboard may be considered part of the DAW. DAWs are instruments because they work on their own. No need for other tools. -  The  Magnificentist 05:08, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Using this logic, you could argue that an amplifier providing feedback without any guitar connected to it can be considered a musical instrument for noisecore. A DAW is nothing without the embedded synths and VSTs, I think you are confusing this for them. I'm taking this to WP:WPMU to get more opinions before I consider this a valid argument. ~ Dissident93  ( talk ) 23:30, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Personally, I think embedded synths and VSTs are significant to a DAW as a guitar string is to a guitar. A guitar string may not be the guitar itself but is part of it. Same logic applies to DAW. -  The  Magnificentist 04:50, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Are you the sole judge on this? Can you provide me with music publications that back your claim, so I can know that it's not just your own personal opinion? I'd still like to hear the opinions of others on this matter. ~ Dissident93  ( talk ) 07:24, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

So Far Away
"Unofficial title" is rumor and is unverifiable itself, no matter how many sources could confirm it as an ID title. Per WP:CRYSTAL, Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors, the track title was never officially announced. Hayman30 (talk) 13:41, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Being unofficial doesn't necessarily mean it's a rumor. Take Humble (song) for example, the official title is "HUMBLE." not "Humble" but on Wikipedia, that cannot be. It shows official titles don't really matter here. — Za  wl  13:47, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * That is not an example and is unrelated, it's a matter of styling, not an "unofficial title" in any way. "So Far Away", on the other hand, is pure rumor, as the sources stated. "...rumored to be called 'So Far Away.'" (Your EDM), "while fans have... tagged the tune 'So Far Away'..." (Billboard). I'm surprised you came up with "unofficial title is not rumor". Hayman30 (talk) 13:53, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I guess I misunderstood it. Didn't notice the final sentence on CRYSTAL "Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content." — Za  wl  14:08, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Phonetic transcription
As a Dutch native speaker and linguist, I found the phonetic transcription of Martin Gerart Garritsen as [mɑrˈtɛiŋ ɣəˈrɑrt ˈxɑrɪtsə(n)] somewhat problematic. Therefore, I changed it to [mɑrˈtɛin ˈχɪːrɑrt ˈχɑrɪtsə(n)]. Here’s why:


 * Martijn: changed [mɑrˈtɛiŋ] to [mɑrˈtɛin]:

From reference 8 I gathered that /n/ in Martijn and /g/ in Garritsen are respectively transcribed as [ŋ] and [ɣ] because these names don’t occur in isolation to the user who transcribed them. It’s true that /n/ merges into /ŋ/ before velars (/k, ɡ, x, ɣ/) in Dutch but only in compound words (e.g. /pijnklacht/ as [‘pɛiŋ.klɑχt] or in fast speech. One could argue that names can be pronounced fast but that doesn’t seem relevant for the phonetic transcription of the Dutch pronunciation of Dutch names on an English Wikipedia page. By that analogy /r/ could be also be transcribed in a number of ways [r~ɾ~ʀ~ ʁ~ɻ] when followed by a consonant but the historically original pronunciation is [r].


 * Gerard and Garritsen: changed [ɣəˈrɑrt] to [ˈχɪːrɑrt] and [ˈxɑrɪtsə(n)] to [ˈχɑrɪtsə(n)]:

In Standard Dutch /g/ may be realized as either [x], [ɣ] or [χ] at the beginning of a word. This variation depends on the speaker’s dialect. Martijn is from Amstelveen, a city in the northwestern part of the Netherlands, where it’s common to realize /g/ as /χ/. Stress in Gerard is on /ge/ and not on /rart/. Consequently, /e/ shouldn’t be transcribed as [ə] because /e/ [ə] typically only occurs in unstressed position. In Standard Dutch /e/ is realized as /ɪː/ before /r/.

There is a spelling error in the 2019 section. The article reads "In October 2019, Garrix lossed his place as number 1 DJ to Belgian DJs Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, whom he beat to number 1 in 2016, after spending a consecutive three years at the top. Garrix finished the 2019 polls in second place.[101]"

A request to add information about EURO 2020 Anthem, the Area 21 album and the YTRAM releases in the 2020 - Present section
Martin Garrix released the official EURO 2020 song We Are The People on the 14th of May 2021 as a collaboration with Bono & The Edge and performed it in a virtual opening ceremony before the opening game in Rome on the 13th of June 2021. Garrix also announced that he would be releasing a 12 track album on his alias Area 21 featuring Maejor during the fall of 2021. Garrix also released 2 tracks on his alias Ytram called fire a collaboration with British producer Elderbrook and Alive a collaboration with Citadelle which was released as the official track for the documentary Whatever It Takes, a documentary highlighting the life of Dutch Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen. I believe that these 3 projects are very important in Martin Garrix's career and it's surprising to see that these haven't been included. Plus, The entire page seems fairly messy and incomplete So, I'd recommend you have a thorough check to correct all of the mistakes.

A request to add information about Martin Garrix getting the DJMag award of "The World's NO 1 DJ of 2022"
Martin Garrix has hit No. 1 in the Top 100 DJs poll for the fourth time, an astonishing achievement in a career already filled with defining moments. After a vertiginous live streamed show from the top of New York’s Empire State Building, he tells DJ Mag about working with U2, writing music on guitar, how he stays grounded, his charity work and his STMPD label — and explains that staying independent has been a recipe for happiness and success''.

Martin Garrix has once more ascended to the apex of the Top 100 DJs poll for 2022. The prodigious young Dutchman is still only 26, having broken through onto the scene in his mid-teens via his proto-EDM tune ‘Animals’, and scooped the Top 100 DJs crown in 2016 and the subsequent two years. His great friend and mentor David Guetta won the poll the last two years, and now Garrix is back on top.
