The Martinez Brothers

About

Emerging from the Bronx as preternaturally gifted DJs, The Martinez Brothers – Chris and Steve – have rewritten the house music narrative with a distinct swagger and undeniable groove. Forget the polished sheen of Ibiza sunsets; their sound is forged in the crucible of New York's underground, a potent blend of classic Chicago house, Detroit techno grit, and the percussive fire of their Puerto Rican heritage. Early mentorship under the legendary Dennis Ferrer at the tender age of 15 catapulted them into the global spotlight. They bypassed the traditional club circuit, instead honing their skills at age-restricted parties and then commanding residencies at DC10 Ibiza, instantly making them dance music royalty. Their DJ sets are legendary – extended, improvisational journeys through sound, where seamless mixing and instinctive track selection create a symbiotic relationship with the crowd. Their music, found on labels like Crosstown Rebels and their own Cuttin’ Headz, reflects this energy, blending raw, stripped-down beats with soulful melodies and captivating vocal samples. Beyond DJing and producing, they've collaborated with fashion brands, blurring the lines between music and style, solidifying their status as cultural influencers. The Martinez Brothers continue to push boundaries, perpetually evolving their sound while staying true to the foundational principles of house music. Their relentless touring schedule and recent productions confirm their staying power, proving they are more than just DJs; they are architects of the modern dance floor.
