Profile

Martin was surrounded by music at an early age and quickly developed into an obsessive collector of house music. Becoming a DJ wasn't a consideration until he started University in the late 90's where a student loan gave him the opportunity to buy his first set of decks. Just six weeks later he had his first gig. Whilst at University Martin embedded himself further into the scene and it was here that he learnt his craft. During this period Martin started to make a name for himself DJ’ing at club nights, competitions and legendary house parties.

Martin's sound has evolved over the last decade. In the late 1990's his introduction into DJ'ing was inspired by big name trance DJ's. Over time Martin's sound became deeper and more progressive. This evolution can be seen throughout his career as he constantly refined and developed his sound. By the mid 2000's he had found his place within the house music scene, playing a deep, laid back music, taking influences from soul, techno and disco.

Since the turn of the century Martin’s stature as a DJ continued to grow, playing nights at some of the UK's leading clubs, including Turnmills in London, Reloc8 in Surrey, and internationally at Nation in Washington DC, and Cafe Paradis in Ibiza. Since 2004 Martin has established himself in the local scene playing at Route, Hub Bar, and Roxi as well as promoting Klik at Zest in Ipswich.

Radio has played a significant part in promoting Martin's DJ'ing, bringing his taste in music to a larger audience. Martin has had residencies on Switch FM, Rise FM and SS Radio UK, as well as guest appearances on Deepest Level on Frisky Radio, Your House My House, Di.FM, Clubbed Up Radio on WCR FM and Driversion on SS Radio UK.
