Following the release of ‘Copacabana’ on Chris Lake’s Rising Trax’s label in early 2008, fellow countryman & arch techno don Umek made contact with Martin and proposed the idea of working together. The results were quick to form. Within a single month of the start of the partnership, the pair had summoned the sinuous strident tech of ‘Army of Two’ from the studio boxes and signed it to Armin’s Armada off-shoot Pilot6. The track brought another jump in awareness of the Beltek name and with it began a raft of DJ support that has now come to include the likes of Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Sander van Doorn & John O'Callaghan. Still playing with the themes of tech, ‘Army’ was followed in October of the same year by ‘Kenta’. Similarly well received, its honours went to Black Hole offshoot label Avanti, with Tiësto compiling it onto his mega-selling ‘In Search of Sunrise 7 – Asia’.
