The DJ Sessions

Martin Jensen - Streaming Innovation, AI in Music, and the Future of Live Sound on the Virtual Sessions 10/21/25


Listen Later

Broadcasting live from Spinnin’ Records Studios in Amsterdam, Martin Jensen reconnects to discuss innovation, passion, and the evolving music landscape. Known for his hit singles and global reach, Martin opens up about Me Myself Online, his ongoing creative project that began during lockdown on Twitch and has now evolved into a high-quality YouTube series. The first episode, filmed aboard one of the world’s largest container ships, the Mary Mærsk, symbolizes his ambition to blend music with unique global experiences.

He talks candidly about the hidden costs and complexity of live streaming, referencing how production logistics can reach tens of thousands of dollars just to go live—a challenge that helped him appreciate in-person performances even more. Despite his hectic schedule, Martin admits to having little routine or structure, joking about surviving on little sleep and a love for red wine over kale salads.

The discussion turns toward creativity and mental balance. When facing creative blocks, he shares that spontaneity—and occasionally a strong vodka Red Bull—helps break through stagnation. He emphasizes the importance of enjoying the process over chasing perfection, viewing each show as both a performance and a test of endurance.

Touching on AI, Dolby Atmos, and streaming economics, Martin sees technology as both opportunity and caution. He values authenticity and artistry over shortcuts, preferring hands-on creation. For him, success isn’t measured in numbers or fame but in fun, passion, and staying inspired. His advice to rising artists: do what feels right, stay true, and never forget why you started.
