In this Amsterdam Dance Event week - without the Covid pandemic - many parties would normally have raged the city this week, then, Martin Garrix has decided to bring the party to his fans through a different way.
PostNL has decided to put him in the limelight by releasing his own postal stamp which also contains a hidden surprise : If you buys the stamps and download a special app, you can get an experience a virtual performance from the DJ/producer !
Exclusive AR performance included
Using a current technology, the free interactive app gives access to photos, infos and a very special Garrix addition : by scanning the stamp with the app you will get an exclusive, private AR (augmented reality) performance by Martin Garrix himself.
Because the DJ/producer and his booth merge with the camera of the phone, the viewer can enjoy the performance everywhere; at home, outside on the beach or even on top of a mountain.
A long-time stamp story for the artist
The connection between Garrix and stamps is not a strange one. Because of his father’s stamp auction house, he got in touch with the industry from an early age, and eventually even decided to put a reference to stamps in the name of his label STMPD RCRDS.
" From an early age I’ve had stamps around me due to my dad’s company. Therefore, when starting my label, we even chose a name that refers to stamps: STMPD RCRDS. It is very special to be on a stamp myself now and I am super happy with the end result. "
- Martin Garrix
The Martin Garrix stamp sheet has 5 identical stamps and is available here from today on. The validity period of the stamps is indefinite.
