Biography of Marten Hørger

Hi Energy Høuse, the brand of a sound

The Hi Energy Høuse Music slogan summarizes the territory of Marten Hørger: club house with physical bass, tech house groove, and a festival energy that DJ Mag condensed into The Future. From Stuttgart, the German producer has turned that formula into a bridge between the club floor and the main stage, with over 150 million accumulated streams and nearly one hundred dates a year in Europe, America, Asia, and Australia.

From Douala in Ravensburg to Bass House

He started DJing in 1999 at the Douala club in Ravensburg. In 2004, he founded the Boogie Army project with Captain Koma, active until 2008 on Westway Records, and since 2010 he has worked with Leeroy Thornhill, former member of The Prodigy, on Smash Hifi. His first solo production, LGFU (2013), earned him the International Breakspoll Awards for best producer and best track globally in 2014. The track You Don't, with Neon Steve on Punks (2017), became one of the most listened-to tracks of its year and opened the door to Confession, Musical Freedom, Spinnin' Records, Monstercat, Insomniac, and Tomorrowland Music.

Beatport, DJ Mag and the Top 100

The subsequent catalog includes Feel So Right and Take Me High on Musical Freedom, Ya Think with Habstrakt, Take A Step Back with Dr. Fresch, and official remixes for David Guetta, Tchami, Alesso, and Apashe. In 2020, he was the first German artist to head Musical Freedom Radio on Sirius XM and the first German guest on Diplo & Friends on BBC Radio 1. Beatport ranked him in 2021 as the most successful bass house producer of the year and in 2022 as the most successful act of the genre of all time. In 2023, he debuted in the DJ Mag Top 100 at number 88, and Faze readers chose him as the national breakthrough artist. 1001Tracklists keeps him among the most influential producers, with the 54th spot in 2024.

Men Machine, from Spinnin' to Coachella

In 2023, The Freaks, with David Guetta on Spinnin' Records, opened an alliance that in April 2026 was presented as Men Machine on the Quasar stage at Coachella. The self-titled EP, released on May 15, 2026, crosses nineties electroclash, new wave, synth-pop, and techno with a festival scale. In parallel, he signed the B2U EP with Dillon Francis on 1001 Recordings (2025), the Rave anthem for Parookaville 2026, and dates at Tomorrowland, EDC, Glastonbury, Burning Man, Shambhala, Fusion, Ultra New Zealand, and Nature One, in addition to Ibiza residencies with Guetta at Ushuaïa and UNVRS. The club circuit includes Fabric in London, Academy in Los Angeles, Vision in Tokyo, and Bootshaus in Cologne.
