All Hail The Bird

On a Saturday in July

So this might sound a bit bold but as far as I’m concerned, The Martin Brothers are hands down, without a doubt the most amazing thing in dance music right now.

No other music out makes me want to funk out like the work created when Christian Martin and Justin Martin pair up. Warped and pitch bent 808 bass slip in and out of nervous and awkward melodies, simplistic jackin’ beats and a unique blend of tongue-in-cheek P-Funk and Detroit melancholy have a profound effect on any dancefloor.

The Martin Brothers most recent EP on Dirty Bird was released on 12″ just a few days ago and I managed to track down a copy.

The file attached as been re-encoded down to ultra-low 80k bitrate clip to ensure you go out and buy it. Included on the EP (but withheld from this post) is the title track Rocket Surgery which presently stands out as a clear forerunner for my favorite tune of 2008.

Buy This EP on sight.

The Martin Brothers - Dum

Also out now on the Dirty Bird Sub Label Mothership is Claude VonStroke’s micro-roller Scarlet Macaw. Click here for more info..

    I completely agree. I picked up this EP today and am loving it. This is the “anti cookie-cutter” EP, every track has personalty. Rocket Surgery was my main draw but the other two tracks are serious dance floor bombs… I’ve seen’em all dropped in SF over the last year and every time, without fail, people fucking get down.

    A1 - Dum
    A2 - (bonus silly sci-fi chit chat)
    B1 - Full Moon
    B2 - Rocket Surgery

    If you like the Martin Brothers - Check out Christian Martin’s new Elephant Fight EP. It came out on Beatport today. There you’ll find the Justin Martin remix - which isn’t technically “Martin Brothers” but is still really… really hot. Worthy’s remix also deserves massive acclimation
