The Speed Freak, known offstage as Martin Damm, is a prominent figure in the hardcore techno and gabber scenes, whose career has spanned several decades and is renowned for his innovative productions and relentless energy. Emerging in the early '90s, The Speed Freak has cemented his reputation through a distinct blend of manic beats, intricate melodies, and whip-smart samples, marking him as a trailblazer in the fast-paced realm of electronic music. Damm's dexterity with various subgenres, such as industrial, Frenchcore, and techno, has garnered a following that respects his refusal to be pigeonholed, always pushing the boundaries of speed and sound.

The Speed Freak's remixes, like "I Will Find You (The Speed Freak Remix)," showcase his skill in reimagining existing tracks through his unique sonic lens, without losing the essence of the original. With "Destruction by Speed," he pays homage to the roots of hardcore, offering a raw and unapologetic reminder of the power of high BPMs. An illustrious career marked by inventive production and an unmistakable style, The Speed Freak continues to be a potent force within the hardcore and gabber music spheres, inspiring new generations of ravers and music makers alike.
