DJs, Producers | American
The Martinez Brothers (Chris and Steve Martinez) are American DJs and producers from The Bronx, New York, who have become one of the most influential acts in house and tech-house music. Born to a Puerto Rican family with deep roots in Bronx’s underground club scene, they were introduced to DJing by their father, who ran a DJ equipment shop.
Starting in the mid-2000s while still teenagers, they quickly rose through the ranks of the New York underground scene before becoming international stars. Their raw, groove-driven sound combines classic house influences with Latin rhythms and gritty New York energy.
The brothers have headlined major festivals worldwide and hold residencies at iconic venues including DC-10 in Ibiza. They’ve released music on labels like Cuttin’ Headz (their own imprint), Crosstown Rebels, and Defected. Their authentic connection to house music’s roots while pushing boundaries has made them beloved by purists and casual fans alike.
