History

Martin Garrix announced the creation of Stmpd through a Dutch TV show and his YouTube miniseries, The Martin Garrix Show,[4] following his departure from Spinnin' Records and MusicAllStars Management in 2015.[5] He stated this was the result of music rights disagreements with Spinnin'.[6][7]

The name of the label refers to stamps, and was inspired by his father's stamp auctioning company.[8][9]

Garrix released the first song on the label, "Now That I've Found You", featuring vocals from John Martin and Michel Zitron on 11 March 2016.[10][11] The original instrumental was dubbed "Don't Crack Under Pressure" by fans.[12] The melody of the song was originally created by Garrix during Dancefair in April 2015, and was notably later played during his closing set of Sziget Festival.[13]

To celebrate the launch of the new label, Garrix hosted a party at Story Nightclub with "Chris Maillé" on 18 March 2016, after he closed the mainstage of Ultra Music Festival Miami.[14]
