event description
On Monday, November 22nd, we return to Good Units at Hudson, for the third installment of our monthly Hudson Series with The Martinez Brothers (Objektivity, NYC) and special guest DJ Holiday.
Entrance is free but strictly RSVP only.
A New Year, a new Hudson Series. Three years of our wildly popular bi-weekly series has brought legendary talent from around the globe, like Danny Krivit, Pete Rock, Afrika Bambaataa, Joaquin 'Joe' Claussell, Alex Barck (of Jazzanova), Louie Vega, King Britt, DJ Spinna, Vikter Duplaix, and many, many more, to the Hudson Bar at Hudson Hotel. To celebrate the new series in proper form, we have moved the party downstairs to the new Good Units at Hudson space.
What sets apart Chris and Steve Martinez is their sense of flow, limitless energy...and oh their age. Watch them behind the decks: they don't stop moving. Lean, lanky, all wrists and elbows and ear-to-ear grins, these kids look like they were born to move. They're practically climbing over each other as records flow together, one brother cueing up a track, the other EQing, the headphones passed back and forth, forearms intertwined, heads bobbing in unison. It's amazing to watch. It's even more amazing to hear.
Music always played a significant role in the Martinez home: the boys grew up playing a variety of instruments—keyboards, bass, and mainly drums and percussion. They'd play in church, at home, in various bands around the Bronx. It was their father, a veteran of disco-era clubs like the Paradise Garage, that turned them on to disco and house, via radio programs like Timmy Regisford's Kiss FM show and CDs that he'd bring home in an attempt to expand the boys' musical worldview.
They played their first gig with Victor Rosado, a veteran NYC DJ who shared the decks with both Larry Levan and David Mancuso back in the day; their next appearance was at an Ibadan party at Shelter, alongside Dennis Ferrer and Jerome Sydenham. And from there they've gone on to rock many more floors worldwide. The Martinez Brothers kicked off a new chapter in January, 2007, when Dennis Ferrer's Objektivity label released "My Rendition," a powerhouse of a record that won them a whole new world of acclaim.
