DJ OF THE WEEK 1.25.10: THE MARTINEZ BROTHERS

It’s easy to go to a club where The Martinez Brothers are playing, get on the dance floor, and be whisked away into a higher plane spiritually, physically, or wherever it takes you. It would also be easy to think these Martinez Brothers are special and must have years of experience behind the turntables to move us so, and you wouldn’t be alone in thinking that way. The Martinez Brothers have an understanding and a feel for the music in their sets that seems years ahead of their actual ages. The Martinez Brothers are Chris and Steve Martinez and are 17 and 20 years old, respectively!

No, they can’t even get into most of the clubs they’ve spun yet, The Martinez Brothers are already household names throughout the world having spun at clubs in Europe, Ibiza, and more. And like their sets, their following is deep, deservedly so.

The Martinez Brothers are the real deal, not a novelty act. They take their DJ’ing seriously, they respect and love the music they spin, and they understand the crowd. Veterans? No, not yet. Prodigies? Just might be.
