Seven years after the haunting resonance of Voids, electronic pioneer Martyn returns to the album format with Music For Existing — a profound, sprawling and deeply human record on his own 3024 Music imprint. More than a collection of tracks, this double LP is an exploration of what it means to remain devoted to a craft in an era of relentless noise, and a love letter to the communal, healing and inherently defiant act of making music together.

Heralded by lead single ‘Heavy Sound’, Music For Existing serves as the perfect bridge between Martyn’s past and present — a masterclass in tension and release that previews the album’s dialogue between producer, musicians and audience. The record is a sprawling, off-the-grid tapestry that echoes Martyn’s profound appreciation for jazz — free, instinctive and bursting in every sonic direction. While the acoustic textures and improvisational spirit may feel like a departure, they represent a homecoming; jazz has always been ingrained in Martyn’s work, the DNA of swing, syncopation and free-form structure present even in his most stripped-back club tracks.

The album features an expansive cast of collaborators, including Duval Timothy, Dan Only, Lucinda Chua and Mark Cisneros, further elevated by the contributions of jazz talents Mischa Porte and Cees Bruinsma, alongside the evocative words of writer and poet Musa Okwonga. Together they create something that feels both timeless and urgently of the moment — an invitation to build human infrastructure around what we love, leaning into the fluid nature of community and seeing exactly where the music takes us when we choose to listen.

For fans of Martyn’s celebrated back catalogue on 3024 Music and beyond, Music For Existing marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter — from the studio to the stage, celebrating the radical act of existing in the moment. An essential double LP for collectors of jazz vinyl, future jazz records, experimental vinyl and leftfield electronic music.

Perfect for vinyl collectors and fans of jazz vinyl, future jazz, experimental records, leftfield music and the boundary-pushing output of 3024 Music.
