The Martinez Brothers have been at the forefront of the global house music scene for a few years now, displaying breadth of knowledge of dance music that far surpasses their years. Coming from the Bronx, the brothers were raised on their dad's love of American house. Yet their own music incorporates hip-hop beats and also looks to the European techno scene for inspiration Since 2011 they have held residency at DC-10 in Ibiza, solidifying their place in the dance music scene, with 2014 seeing their releases achieve great critical acclaim. The brothers continually tour throughout the world, laying down banging sets which clearly display the wealth of knowledge that these boys have of dance music.
Their set at Ultra this year was absolutely unreal, where they took to the decks at the Underground stage on the Sunday. They played tune after tune with flawless precision, offering a set that had crossover appeal. Fans of house, techno and hip hop can find something in the Martinez Brothers' output, with their infectious beats being certain to bring the crowd into an ecstatic frenzy. They played endless floor fillers with a lively stage presence that makes them undeniably a top act in the world of dance music. They are certainly a pair to watch in the coming years.
Watching a DJ who knows hoe to give a great performance as well as simply playing their tracks from their booth is something incredible to watch, and witnessing Seth Troxler’s performances with his quirky dancing and great interaction with the audience was awesome. His techno and house fusion was perfect to get the audience going, and form the moment he shouted ‘I wanna hear everyone screaming, and see you all dancing’, the crowd were totally dedicate to his performance He’s played at massive clubs all over the world, and know exactly how to please an audience. His variation between his remixes, tracks with samples, and original tracks is great, and he kept the audience enthralled from start to finish. He played through the entirety of Aphrika EP, which he worked on with Wolf & Lamb, and even got some of us in the audience to sing along to the samples into a microphone he had.
She show was over 2 hours long believe it or not, but it flew by with all the dancing and the energy that was radiating from Troxler. It was a fantastic show, and great to see some genuine talent from a DJ for once!
