Martin Hannett (born Manchester, Lancashire, England 31 May 1948 – 18 April 1991), sometimes credited as Martin Zero, was a record producer who helped develop Joy Division and was an original partner in Factory Records with Tony Wilson.
Hannett's trademark dub influenced sound, most apparent on Joy Division's debut album Unknown Pleasures and its follow-up, Closer, is sparse, eerie and spacious.
The 2002 film 24 Hour Party People is centered around Factory Records and the Madchester music scene. .
