:: About...
// JUSTIN MARTIN
DIRTYBIRD RECORDS // SAN FRANCISCO, CA
Justin initially pricked the ears of the electronic music community in 2003 with his first record ‘The Sad Piano’ on Ben Watt’s Buzzin’ Fly label. Everyone in the electronic music food chain got involved, from the A list DJs like Derrick Carter and Pete Tong that were playing the track, to the international music press that were raving about it. It even translated to the German underground, with Poker Flat licensing it for Steve Bug’s ‘Bugnology’ compilation. Like someone that goes bowling for the first time and gets five strikes and a turkey, Justin couldn’t really have hoped for a better entrance.
Feeding off the energy of the San Francisco underground and mentored by fellow super producer Claude VonStroke, Justin was intrinsically involved with the development of dirtybird records, appearing on its first four releases. Justin was soon ready to take flight, releasing a string of solo EPs, which flaunted a very unique sound and garnered still more respect among fellow DJs and heavyweight’s of the scene.
In 2010, such respect prompted an invitation for Justin to DJ mix Pete Tong’s infamous “Essential Mix” series and also landed his felicitous placement on the front cover of DJ Magazine. Justin continued to roll out two further killer EPs on dirtybird, which were collaborations with his protégée Ardalan. “Mr Spock” earned recognition from major digital news outlet NPR as “surrounding sounds with tactful little details: the hissing white noise; that chubby, wet bass kick. This is music that doesn’t need to be heard on the dance floor, though it does work awfully well there”. What followed was “Lezgo”, which knocked down the genre walls and pretty much remained a firm fixture in every DJ’s box throughout 2011.
As well as his formidable arsenal of original productions, Justin is now equally known for his collaborations with his brother Christian as The Martin Brothers, producing such hip-hop influenced hits as ‘Duckface’, ‘Stoopit’, ‘Dum’. Justin has also made his mark remixing such bona fide classics as Radiohead’s ‘Nude’, Marshall Jefferson’s ‘Mushrooms’, TG’s ‘Revox’ and remixes for labels such as Fools Gold and Greco Roman, firmly establishing himself as the man to make big tracks even bigger.
2011 found Justin in the perfect position to work on his boldest project to date, his debut artist album and he couldn’t be more enthusiastically happy with the results. “Ghettos & Gardens” long player will be released on dirtybird late spring 2012, with a string of stunning singles to support the release.
Demand for Justin’s skills behind the decks has skyrocketed with his bookings schedule constantly crammed to capacity. With dates everywhere from Panorama Bar (Berlin), Fabric (London), Space (Ibiza) and a full album tour for summer and fall 2012, its no wonder Justin’s diary reads like the dreams of a professional raver. Stateside he continues to be a regular fixture at the Dirtybird events in San Francisco and beyond.
Music journalists typically describe Justin’s sound as ‘melodic and tough’ with his music encapsulating both melody and emotional depth yet always with enough undeniable ass shaking properties to translate to the floor.
He remains as enthusiastic as ever to be involved in the scene. When recently questioned by Resident Advisor on what he’d be doing if he wasn’t a DJ or dance music producer he just replied: “Wishing I was a DJ or music producer.”
// BONTAN // UK
In little over a year, North West UK-based Bontan has notched up an impressive set of achievements that’d leave most old school acts green with envy. With headline supporters including Pete Tong, Annie Mac and Carl Cox his music is talking loud and helping him to develop a reputation that’ll be the foundation for many years to come.
Things started to go mad with THAT remix for long time friend and collaborator Josh Butler which saw them score the biggest selling remix of 2013 on Beatport and scoop the coveted Best Remix of the Year in the retailer’s awards to boot! This naturally lead to a wave of enquiries from labels worldwide but with an ear only for the best, Bontan is choosing his moves wisely…
He’s already turned in the key club mix for European chart smash ‘Changes’ by Faul & Wad Ad vs Pnau which has come hotly on the heels of his first solo Beatport chart topper Move On Out, one of the biggest sellers worldwide so far in 2014 that’s also been licensed in Oz.
Move On Out has dominated the top of the Beatport deep house charts, but proving that his sound transcends house music genre descriptions, April saw the Bontan remix of Nice7 for Defected also hit top 10 but in the tech house genre at the same time as the Toolroom anthem sat at the top of deep house. Not many acts in the world can claim this double header and Bontan is only just getting started.
The start of the summer will see Bontan’s remix of Clean Bandit ‘Extraordinary’ help the act score another hit around the world. The band love the remix so much that they’ve invited him to go on their national tour of the UK in the Autumn and support them at the historic Somerset House in London in the summer. They’ve even incorporated the Bontan remix into their live show for extra impact!
Keeping it firmly real, our hero is working on loads of house music for release over the summer including a killer remix for Suara and there’s also word of some collaborative slammers coming from continued sessions with Josh Butler…
All this while travelling each weekend to perform at some of the coolest clubs and events and building a fan base that’s growing all the time. Watch this space.
