Hungarian Dj,Producer who have born in Budapest and music was his love at first sight.
He always felt the music in his blood, but only started to play in 1996, when the golden age of progressive house was. He has been on many parties, and as Budapest was a great venue of progression he had the luck to hear big names like Sasha&Digweed,Hernan Cattaneo, Anthony Pappa, Satoshi Tomie, Deep Dish etc.
His first attempts as a DJ been in 2009 as from 2007 he has turned to the direction of progressive psychedelic trance(130 -140 beats per minute)and played sets in this genre often on after parties as a member of WaveFusion team. He has learned and played a lot with the guys and realised music is more likely his life than anything else. These times he has turned up on parties, and also local and nationwide internet radios in Hungary.
DJ’s like Hernan Cattaneo or Anthony Pappa been always his idols and afterwards he calmed down from the “psy” age he has found himself in progressive house genre again where he always felt more familiar. Progressive house (123bpm)is more likely him and he feel so attached to it in heart and soul. He thinks this attachment will last forever.

Influenced by artists such as Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, and Guy J, he managed to release his first albums on labels such as BCSA, Traful, Purrfection Records Ect... reaching the Beatport top 100 on multiple occasions.

Paul Martinez was born in the summer of 1983 in Győr, Hungary. His engagement with music began early, marked by a deep curiosity for sound and structure. By 1996, he was already experimenting with digital audio using FT2 (FastTracker 2), a DOS-based tracker, laying the foundation for his future in electronic music. In 1997, he acquired his first Taya players—modest equipment, yet sufficient to begin refining his technique and developing a disciplined approach to DJing.

That same year, he made his public debut with a minimal techno set at a classic underground event in Hungary. Over the following years, his musical direction evolved toward progressive and psychedelic genres, earning recognition across the country through open-air and underground performances.

By 2001, Martinez shifted focus from DJing alone to music production, seeking to create original material that resonated with audiences on a deeper level. He began working with FL Studio, recording his own samples, building loops, and later mastering the use of VSTi plugins. His first official releases appeared in 2010 on Mistique Music, followed by signings with respected labels such as Sudam Recordings, Balkan Connection, Proton, Ready Mix Records, OLD SQL Recordings, and KP Recordings.

His work has received support from internationally acclaimed artists including John Digweed, Sasha, Anthony Pappa, Markus Schulz, Sultan, and Matt Darey—affirming his relevance and credibility within the global electronic music scene.

Since 2016, Martinez has been actively involved in education, teaching FL Studio, hardware integration, and studio production techniques. His expertise in studio design and acoustics is internationally recognized, with contributions spanning from Buenos Aires to Tokyo. In recent years, he has played a key role in professional studio projects in London, Barcelona, and Budapest.

Now based in Amsterdam, he launched Radio Amsterdam in 2025—a platform dedicated to broadcasting high-fidelity underground electronic music (48 kHz / Opus 256 kbps), fostering a global community of listeners who value precision, depth, and artistic integrity.

For Paul Martinez, music is not merely a profession—it is a lifelong pursuit, encompassing performance, composition, mentorship, and the creation of spaces where sound can thrive.
