Apart presents one of the infamous Martin brothers and dirtybird founding member ★ CHRISTIAN MARTIN ★ Dirtybird, San Francisco www.dirtybirdrecords.com www.facebook.com/christianmartin47 www.soundcloud.com/christianmartin Since 1995, Christian Martin has been exploring electronic music from one end of the earth to the other; from full-moon parties in the deserts of California to the thumping, dark corners of the London club scene. Christian followed his love for spleen-rattling bass to San Francisco in 2000, where he met up with the now legendary dirtybird crew. The dirtybird BBQ was the brainchild of the four original members – Christian & his brother Justin Martin, and friends Claude VonStroke and Worthy. They had a personal mission to change the landscape of San Francisco house music by throwing an epic free party in the park, based on their new signature sound. In 2003, with nothing to lose and everything to gain, Christian bought a massive yet necessary sound system on his credit card. This set the standard for a new era of die-hard dedicated DIY producers, all with productions based on heavy bass-lines, smiling faces and dance floor delights. In 2006, Christian began releasing a steady stream of tracks, first collaborating with Justin under the “Martin Brothers” alias, as well as Claude VonStroke. The Martin Brothers partnership has produced such hip-hop influenced hits as ‘Duckface’, ‘Stoopit’, & ‘Dum’, as well as remixes for Ed Banger and Fool's Gold. On his own, he's released his own brand of bassy house music on labels such as dirtybird, Trapez, and Anabatic. His low end take on tech house has led to remixes for musical heavyweights such as Chromeo, Underworld, L-Vis 1990, and many more. Christian's devotion to large scale bass has allowed him to champion the dirtybird sound out of the park and onto giant soundsystems at clubs and festivals worldwide. From Fusion (Germany) to Shambhala (Canada), to Coachella & Symbiosis (US), there's a constant demand for what he describes as “bass from the ground up.” In San Francisco, Christian is a resident at dirtybird's raucous quarterly party at Mezzanine; and also at Monarch, the newly opened marvel of a club. His new musical alias Leroy Peppers has recently roared to life, offering an even heavier take on hip-hop influenced bass music. Whether it be Leroy or Christian behind the decks, if your hands aren't clapping your ass surely will be. ★ AUBRE LEE b2b X THE OWL ★ ALNP / Beat Chemistry - Milwaukee www.soundcloud.com/aubreezy www.soundcloud.com/x-the-owl ★ KAYJAY ★ Milwaukee Noize Collective - Milwuakee www.facebook.com/kevin.k.jensen.7 www.soundcloud.com/d-j-kayjay ★ DISCOAH ★ Milwaukee / Minneapolis www.soundcloud.com/discoah www.mixcloud.com/Discoah/ www.christianmartin-beapart.eventbrite.com 9pm | 21+ | Studio 200 200 East Washington St. Milwaukee --- Get connected #BeApart: www.apart-music.com www.apart-music.tumblr.com www.twitter.com/apart_music www.facebook.com/standapart www.instagram.com/apart_music
