Dutch producer Martin Garrix has released Origo, the final part of his three-chapter series that began with Sentio in 2022 and continued with IDEM in 2024. The new EP was released on STMPD RCRDS in October 2025 and features eight tracks capturing the evolution of his sound over the past decade.
In his own words, Martin Garrix described Origo as a project that “connects all the dots and takes you back to where it all began.” The title means “origin,” representing his return to the club sound that first launched his career. He said that his career “began with club music” and that this release reflects his journey while preparing for what comes next.
Origo completes the trilogy that Martin Garrix calls his club era. Each of the three projects serves as a collection of his most requested live tracks and collaborations. Sentio introduced the concept of turning unreleased festival tracks into a cohesive release, while IDEM continued that idea through his melodic progressive style. With Origo, Martin Garrix closes the series by combining long-awaited collaborations with new approaches in rhythm and structure.
The EP includes “Our Time” with Afrojack, David Guetta, and Amél, “Inside Our Hearts” with Alesso and Shaun Farrugia, and “Butterflies” with Matisse & Sadko featuring BARBZ. Other tracks include “Set Me Free,” his first attempt at drum and bass alongside Arcando and Bonn, and “Sleepless Nights,” a long-anticipated collaboration with Armin van Buuren featuring Libby Whitehouse. These songs were first played during his sets at Ultra, Tomorrowland, and Ushuaïa Ibiza before being included in Origo.
Each collaboration reflects a different part of Martin Garrix’s journey. Working with Afrojack and Guetta brings together three generations of mainstage producers, while “Inside Our Hearts” continues his partnership with Shaun Farrugia, known for emotional festival closers. The addition of “Set Me Free” shows Martin Garrix exploring faster tempos and a different rhythm pattern from his usual festival sound.
More than a collection of collaborations, Origo serves as a conclusion to an era. Martin Garrix has said that it “marks the end of the club-focused releases” and pays tribute to the roots that shaped his early success with Animals in 2013. The Latin phrase linking the trilogy, sentio idem ex origo (“I feel the same from the beginning”), captures the idea of growth while staying true to his foundation.
For long-time followers, Origo closes one chapter of Martin Garrix’s career while setting the stage for a new one. By releasing many of his most requested tracks, he creates space to move forward creatively. Whether that leads to more songwriting projects, new tempos, or collaborations beyond the festival scene, Origo represents a bridge between where he started and where he is heading next.
