Fresh and on form after his very well-received second longer player „A Chemical Imbalance“ that was released on re:connected in november last year, Martinez is back again with the 4th installment in his re:connected series. He delivers yet two more slamming techno tracks .

The 12“ starts off with a track called „Expander“, which is a power full techno monster. Driven by a strong rolling baseline hook which (as the title suggests) just expands and expands thru out the track into a heavenly climax! This track is sure to rock any dance floor and it has already proven this point when Martinez dropped it in his DJ set at the closing party of Amnesia in Ibiza this summer and the dancefloor just exploded.

On the B-side Maritnez offers something more subtle and deep, but still with a strong and memorable hook melody. The track called „Rotation“ is a dark hypnotic minimal affair. With a deep and pounding 808 kick drum, a heavy sub bass and some well laid down melodies, this is a perfect moment for the warm up of the club night or fort he late afterhours.

artist: martinez
title: Retrospective EP
format: 12"
3rd floor rec. cat no: 3RD008
release date: 23.04.08

Tracks:
A: retrospective
B: blue line

supported by: Raresh, Rhadoo, Cassy, Sebbo, Tiefschwarz, Mathias Kaden, Federico Molinari, Loco Dice, Serafin, Laurent Garnier and others..

These days, Martinez is gaining a lot of appreciation with his releases on Cray 1 Labworks, LoMidHigh Lmtd. and his own Re:Connected label. What a lot of people don't realize is that the man actually kicked off his music production career on the famed Chicago house label Guidance. For his second release on 3rd Floor Records, the busy Dane/Swede has come up with what we believe is a perfect mix between his house-side and his newer material with a more techno-ish touch. "Retrospective" is a hard-hitting piece of swing techno, while "Blue Line" is a deeper, slightly hypnotic house affair still with the serious injection of funk that underlines the A-side.

3rd Floor & Re:Connected Releaseparty, 28.03.2008, Culture Box

Når de to pladeselskabsmænd Martin Decara og Martinez, bedre kendt under det borgerlige navn Martin Swanstein, for anden gang krydser klinger på Culture Box har, tiden ikke stået stille i de to lejre siden sidste fest for et lille år siden. Martinez’ Re:Connected selskab som var en af årsagerne til sidste års releasefest har allerede 3 EP’er og et album bag sig, og har hurtigt vundet indpas hos en lang stjernerække af de største DJs verden over. Festen markerer den 5. Udgivelse på det nye label, som rammer handelen i marts måned.

Foruden hans udgivelser har Martinez for alvor slået sit navn fast i København efter han har kastet sig ud som festarrangør på blandt andet Culture Box og Vega, og har på bare et år fået en perlerække af DJs til den danske hovedstad, som f. eks. Sven Väth, Loco Dice og Miss Kittin.

Også hos 3rd Floor Records sker der noget. Med hjælp fra vores nye A&R-ansvarlige, Stefan som blandt andet er kendt som dj fra klubber som 6 Hertz og Ready-to-Warehouse, kan vi denne aften præsentere den 8. Udgivelse på selskabet fra allestedsnærværende Martinez, ’Retrospective’ som allerede har fået stor opmærksomhed fra en række af spidserne rundt omkring. Der er desuden en lang række spændende planer i støbeskeen for det nye år, som vi glæder os meget til at løfte sløret for.

For at fejre alt det, inviterer vi derfor endnu en gang til releasefest uden de store dikkedarer med de tre hovedpersoner bag roret, Martinez, Martin Decara og Stefan, på Københavns foretrukne legeplads for elektronisk musik, Culture Box.

Fredag 28. Marts kl. 23.00 - ??
Culture Box Kronprinsessegade 54a
Kbh. K.

Entré: 60 kr.

Line up:

Stefan (ready-to-warehouse)
Martin Decara (3rd Floor rec)
Martinez (re:connected)
