With HYPEBEAST, Martin Jensen didn’t just release a new EP—he built an entire ecosystem of creativity. In this exclusive EDMNOMAD interview, he called it a playground, and after listening, it’s clear this isn’t just a metaphor. HYPEBEAST plays loud and loose with genre, weaving Afro House, rap, funk, and pop into a five-track set that feels more like a house party than a press release. According to Martin, “What you see is exactly what you get—five tracks of fun.” There were no discarded ideas, no tracks left behind. Everything that made it in was part of a carefully unfiltered vision from the beginning.
It’s not the first time Martin has crafted hits across genres, but this project hits differently. His choice to shine a light on rising artists reflects a growing frustration with the industry’s obsession with numbers. “A lot of artists only want to work with someone that perhaps has virality,” he explained. “But for me, it is all about the talent.” Whether an artist has a thousand monthly listeners or a million, what matters most to Martin is whether their sound excites him. “If what they are doing is exciting, fresh and appeals to me, then that is someone I want to work with,” he shares. That philosophy rings loud through HYPEBEAST, where voices from all over the globe—South Korea to Las Vegas—collide in an unapologetically bold sound.
Martin Jensen Breaks Down Each HYPEBEAST Track
For those wondering what track best captures Martin Jensen’s own personality, don’t guess ‘YES, PLEASE’ too quickly. While that cheeky, valley-girl-inflected anthem—driven by Sami Brielle’s playful vocals and Carrie Keller’s slick production—certainly turns heads, Martin aligns more with ‘FOODTRUCK’. The track, featuring Bradeazy and MADDS, hits a late-night sweet spot. “It has that Martin Jensen house vibe,” he said, “but with a melancholic message and rap sections about being carefree, spilling liquor, and being out at 3am.”
That vibe—fun but not frivolous, wild but rooted in emotion—runs through the EP’s DNA. ‘YOUR MAMA’ delivers deep bass and unexpected humor with lines like, “Think about how your best friend could become your best Dad!” The production, helmed by Roxy Ferrari and I.D.O., balances funk with bold lyrical choices that feel cinematic in their storytelling.
Elsewhere, ‘ANIMAL’ brings primal energy to the floor. Featuring Yako and Kromi, it marries Eastern-influenced big-room with intense vocal fire. Every drop feels engineered for chaos—in the best way possible. And of course, the title track ‘HYPEBEAST’, with LA-based SAVI and South Korean singer Eliana, opens the EP like a manifesto. With punchy lyrics and an undeniable bassline, it sets the tone for what’s to come: music that’s not just heard but felt.
Pushing Boundaries by Letting Go
Despite his global stage presence—Tomorrowland, Ushuaïa Ibiza, Wembley Stadium—Martin Jensen’s creative drive isn’t fueled by spectacle. It’s powered by freedom. “If I have to adhere to a certain sound to fulfill what a label wants,” he admitted, “my heart won’t be in it.” That’s why HYPEBEAST felt so personal to Martin Jensen. It allowed him to break from formula and lean into collaborative chaos with rising stars.
The creative block only appears, he said, “when I don’t have freedom.” But on HYPEBEAST, he felt liberated. Over six months, he co-created a space where boldness replaced bureaucracy. It became a “fun, funky, hybrid project”—and that emotional satisfaction rings through every synth and drop.
His vision also centers on shifting how fans consume music. While most listeners fixate on beats or vocals, Martin wants them to catch the subtle brilliance underneath. “I’m a vocal guy so I’m glad fans notice that, but as a producer, I’d say probably melody,” he shared. “It can create a mood and acts as the backbone to a release.” For Martin, melody isn’t an afterthought—it’s the architecture holding the sound together.
Danish Roots and Global Dreams
Though he’s made Denmark a key node on the global dance map, Martin thinks most people still miss what the Danish scene truly offers. “I really love what Tripolism are doing,” he noted, pointing to the trio’s breakout moment beyond home. While Denmark may be known for folk and pop internally, Martin sees its dance music future expanding rapidly—and internationally.
And what about genres he hasn’t yet explored? Martin admits he’s already dipped into pop through past collaborations, but he’s got dreams of going deeper. “I would for sure love to do more in pop music, be that collaborations or remixes, I’m a huge Taylor Swift fan,” he confessed. “I’d love to remix a track of hers one day.”
Martin Jensesn Activates HYPEBEAST Mode
Right now, Martin Jensen is living fully in HYPEBEAST mode. Touring, summer festivals, and bigger announcements are on the way. “2025 is going to be one of my biggest years yet and I can’t wait to take you all along for the ride” he promised, teasing what lies beyond this chapter. He’s not just riding the wave of streaming numbers—he’s creating new currents. At its core, HYPEBEAST is a loud, colorful call for risk-taking. It invites rising talent to share the spotlight. It tosses genre labels aside like last week’s drop. And it reminds fans that, in a world chasing metrics, it’s okay to chase feeling instead.
