Biography:
Most of the new breed of jet setting club
and rave DJs come from such cities as New York, London and
Chicago, but Doc Martin hails from Los Angeles re-presenting
the West Coast worldwide.
Doc Martin 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 dancefloors and the ability to tap into
their energies. Open yourself and step into his world.
