We had the amazing opportunity to chat up close and personal with Justin Martin at the Dirtybird BBQ party at Miami's Villa 221 during Winter Music Conference this past March. The venue was a perfect place to reinvent the legendary Dirtybird BBQ bass-feast tradition, native to San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. It had the same family-fun feel with free food and amazing music in Villa 2212s perfect, jungle-like indoor/outdoor venue. Justin was kind enough to step away from his merrymaking for a bit and share some of his time with us. Check out the interview below and don't miss his [...]

It's rare for an established artist to wait years before releasing a debut album, but for Dirtybird's fan favorite Justin Martin, it's all about the build up before the break down. His very first artist album, Ghettos & Gardens , was released today on Dirtybird Records after nearly a decade of transcendent EPs, 123 singles, originals and remixes that few producers in the industry could match - save perhaps his legendary label mates. Justin came of age musically alongside the rest of his crew in their collective development of [...]

If you've been following Justin Martin for the past 12 months you'll have noticed the fine form he's currently in. Last year's ' Lezgo ' with Ardalan appeared in plenty of best of '20112 lists whilst last week's ' Don't Go'/'Rough Stuff ' EP is already getting a lot of hype. All three of these tracks appear on his debut album Ghettos & Gardens. Ghettos & Gardens is Justin Martin's marriage of melody and bass. Rather than being a 'DJ album' of club tracks connected by unnecessary filler he has created an [...]
Just Martin's debut album 'Ghettos & Gardens' is out today via Dirty Bird and it's well worth a listen - he tries to marry the energy of sub-bass with more traditional house cuts to make an album that is genuinely original and captivating. The stand out track for us so far has be 'Hood Rich' which is a epically powerful house track that never gets boring and has a real sonic impact. Just wait for the change up at around 2 minutes, which seamlessly blends enchanting strings into a drop that reminded us of Metro Area's seminal anthem [...]
'Every year I choose one artist to fully get behind on Made To Play. In recent year's this has seen the likes of Riva Starr and Oliver $ break through and enjoy global success. In 2012 it's all about Nat Self aka Zombie Disco Squad' - Jesse Rose Bursting onto the club scene back in [...]

San Francisco's ambassador of bass Justin Martin has just uploaded another stunning track from his debut album Ghettos & Gardens . Justin never fails to impress with his imaginative use of samples and Don't Go is no exception. A sense of regret is beautifully conveyed by the use of oriental chimes and a massive sub-bass which wouldn't sound amiss in something by Jamie Jones or the Hot Natured Crew. I for one can say that I'm massively looking forward to the new record as everything I've heard so far has been top-notch.
'Don't Go' is the second single to be taken from the forthcoming debut LP ' Ghettos & Gardens' which is due to drop on Dirtybird May 22nd, and its a richly deep house chugger that pulls at both the heart strings and the dancing feet, sublime. Second track 'Ruff Stuff' is more of what we have come to expect from Justin Martin in recent years, booty infused bass house, but dont be fooled this is not bass by numbers but another example of Martins unique talent to connect with the dancefloor. On the strength of [...]
It's been over a year since word of Justin Martin 's impending debut album surfaced, and since then, Dirtybirds around the globe have been waiting patiently for its arrival. The Dirtybird aesthetic has always been one based on quality-over-quantity (and in this case speed), so faith and confidence in the release being worth the wait has never been in short supply. Now, the first two singles have hit and are definitely living up to the hype. The title track, 'Ghettos and Gardens', as well as 'Hood Rich' landed on Beatport on April [...]
A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to see Tom Flynn at Dirtybird's London BBQ and, despite the fact he was on an hour into a 15 hour rave playing in a large warehouse to a handful of (young looking) people, his music caught our ears. It's a rare talent to draw the attention of sober people in the process of pacing themselves for the long haul. And taking into consideration the context of a party full of many amazing moments- the heat causing Claude Von Stroke to ditch his jeans and walk about in his pants, [...]
Justin Martin's debut album is not far off, and to keep everyone frothing for it, the first EP containing two tracks from it is being released. Read this; "Ghettos & Gardens" is the first single from Justin Martin's debut artist album on dirtybird. The title describes the way this track rises up with beautiful sweeping melodies, almost to the point where you want to kiss the person next to you. But this epic euphoria can only last so long - it peaks with a bassline so tough, it'll push you down a [...]
