World-renowned DJ and producer Martin Garrix is reportedly taking his former manager Eelko van Kooten of Spinnin’ Records to court. This past summer, the young Dutch artist split with Spinnin’ after a disagreement over ownership rights of his music, but he now plans to take their disparity a step further.
