Doc Martin
3hr set begins around 11pm
If there was a house DJ in America who could accurately claim to be the
most important house DJ working today, it would be Doc Martin. But then,
Doc would never accept such a title even if it happens to be true,
because Doc is not only a legendary talent but a legendarily humble
man.
The Doc began his mission on the decks back in the summer of 1986. His
focus on house music from the land of funk and disco, was triggered while
playing the club and warehouse scene in San Francisco.
As one of the major players in laying the foundations of a strong West
Coast dance scene, Doc has always been a master of mixing the crowd with
the music. Neatly avoiding pigeonholing, while embracing a myriad of
different styles, his set creates a warm unique vibe of empathy on the
dance floor.
Doc's legendary 8 hour sets at Flammable Liquid, Sunday Love, to the most
underground lofts, and warehouse parties know no colors, age or sexual
orientation. Not only does he regularly devastate dance floors in
prestigious clubs like New York's Twilo and Liverpool's Cream, to the
smallest loft parties, but he can also send a crowd of ravers into a
euphoric groove. That's rare these days in a scene where there are
sizable walls between the two ends of the dance music spectrum.
While most star DJ's are one-note musicians sticking to a single
subgenera of music, Doc' s live sets bring many styles of music as well
as people together. In this age of specialized formats among DJ's and
producers, what sets Martin apart from his peers is his ability to spin
everything from deep house, acid, funk, tribal, and classics in a set,
while having it all make sense. Doc is one of the most sought after DJs
in America. Constantly touring, he can be found playing records
everywhere from England to New Zealand, and everywhere in between. As the
first West Coast DJ to ever hold many residencies in New York, he
continues to spread the gospel according to Doc.
Now residing in L.A. he has begun to spread his vibe through making music
in the studio as well as playing it. Remixing The Mighty Dub Katz
projects for Nervous Records, as well as original tracks for Moonshine,
Shaboom, 99 North, and the ever growing Leaf Recordings to name a few.
Doc's magic continues to grow, whether it is on the turntables or in the
studio. He is a future legend of house and loved by thousands all over
the world. Music over hype will always be Doc's message of love. There
are no stars just dance floors and the ability to tap into their
energies.
