Hire: The Martinez Brothers
The Martinez Brothers, Steve and Chris, were born in the Bronx, New York, and introduced to music at a young age. Their father, an avid music fan, exposed them to genres like house, disco, and gospel, encouraging their creative development. By their early teens, both brothers were already showing a strong interest in DJing and electronic music, a passion that would define their careers.
Entry into DJing and Early Career
Steve and Chris began their journey into the music world by spinning records in local clubs around New York. They caught the attention of Dennis Ferrer, a prominent house DJ and producer, who became a mentor and signed them to his label, Objektivity. Under Ferrer’s guidance, they developed their skills, blending deep house and Latin rhythms with a unique Bronx flair. Their youth, talent, and distinctive sound quickly set them apart in the underground house scene.
