Martinez Brothers @ Sankeys on Saturday!

So by now you've heard about the Martinez Brothers. These guys are practically the definition of new blood.

Date published: 31st Mar 2010

Steve is 20, Chris is 17. For a little perspective on the unlikelihood of their position, consider this: Shelter, the club where the Martinez Brothers learned just about everything they know about house music, opened its doors the same year that Chris was born. Which makes it all the more incredible that Shelter was the Martinez Brothers' first major club gig in 2006. Since then they have notched up gigs at some of the world’s best clubs – and of course with Sankeys very much in that esteemed group it’s only fitting that two of the most exciting DJs around make their return at the Sankeys Easter Special.
 
In 2009 alone they played at the festival Electric Daisy Carnival (Los Angeles), Ministry Of Sound (London), Pacha (Ibiza), Social Club (Paris), Singapore (Zouk) and will travelled to Miami, Sao Paulo, Rio, Milan, Berlin, Tokyo, Lisbon, Amsterdam and beyond. And of course a love affair was set in motion with their debut and subsequent returns to Sankeys, Manchester; with one of the most clued-up crowds in the land it can take a lot to impress the Ancoats faithful, and that is what exactly the Martinez Brother did. Now their extended sets are highlights in the Sankeys calendar.

What sets apart the Martinez Brothers is their sense of flow. 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.
