The Martinez Brothers

The Martinez Brothers, raised in the vibrant borough of the Bronx, New York, are one of the most dynamic and respected duos in electronic and house music today. Comprised of siblings Steve and Chris Martinez, their journey began at an early age influenced by their father's deep appreciation for disco, salsa, and soul. This familial inspiration sparked their passion for music, with both taking up instruments and learning the craft of DJing while still in their teens.

Their career took off with an early residency at the legendary NYC nightclub Shelter, which solidified their reputation as consummate selectors. Their trademark style—a blend of pulsating house, deep grooves, and elements drawn from their multicultural background—quickly set them apart. By their late teens, they were signed by Dennis Ferrer’s Objektivity label, releasing seminal tracks like "Debbie Downer" and "The Causeway," which earned them international acclaim.

Throughout the 2010s, The Martinez Brothers became a global force, performing at top-tier venues and festivals such as DC10 in Ibiza, Tomorrowland, and Coachella. Their long-standing residency at DC10’s “Circoloco” parties is regarded as iconic, contributing massively to the club and Ibiza's enduring cultural landscape. They’ve also curated their own parties, notably their ‘Cuttin’ Headz’ label and event series, which champions both up-and-coming talent and established artists across techno, house, and beyond.

In addition to their expertise behind the decks, The Martinez Brothers have earned renown as producers and remixers, collaborating with artists such as Louie Vega, Seth Troxler, and Nile Rodgers, and remixing for the likes of Disclosure and Green Velvet. They are celebrated for their energetic, marathon sets, technical prowess, and ability to read and transform any dance floor. Through relentless touring and innovative releases, the duo remains firmly at the forefront of dance music culture, respected for their authenticity, versatility, and dedication to the art of DJing.
