Biography of The Martinez Brothers

From the Bronx to the Heart of the White Isle

The Martinez Brothers, the dynamic duo formed by Chris and Steve Martinez, embody the modern evolution of New York House. Raised in the Bronx under the influence of their father, a veteran of the legendary Paradise Garage nightclub, the brothers absorbed the rhythm before they could walk. Their musical education was accelerated: they played instruments in church and perfected their mixing at home long before they were old enough to enter a club. Discovered by pioneer Dennis Ferrer, who became their mentor, they burst onto the global scene while still teenagers, bringing the raw and soulful energy of New York to dance floors around the world.

The Princes of DC-10 and Cuttin' Headz

The story of The Martinez Brothers is inseparable from Ibiza. In 2011, their debut on the island quickly transformed into a legendary residency at the club DC-10. Their association with the Circoloco party crowned them as the "Princes of DC-10," famous for marathon sets charged with rhythm and immaculate technique. To cement their sonic vision, they founded their own label, Cuttin' Headz, in 2014, a platform dedicated to a percussive and street-style House sound that has defined an era. Their unique style, which fuses Latin heritage with Techno and Hip-Hop, has kept them at the forefront of club culture for over a decade.

Style Icons and Global Ambassadors

Beyond the music, Chris and Steve have transcended as cultural icons, fusing fashion and rhythm. They have collaborated closely with Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy, composing soundtracks for runways and performing at exclusive events like the Met Gala afterparty. Currently, they continue to dominate the scene with their residency at Hï Ibiza, voted the number 1 club in the world, where they lead the "The Martinez Brothers" night. With a relentless touring schedule that spans from Coachella to Tomorrowland, and collaborations with artists ranging from Nile Rodgers to Rauw Alejandro, the Martinez brothers continue to prove that House Music is a universal language that knows no borders.
