Born and raised in the Bronx, NY, The Martinez Brothers are two of the most consistent and recognizable names in the world of house.  Stevie and Chris continue to push themselves creatively in the studio collaborating with global and Latinx artists such as Rauw Alejandro, Fuego, Rema and Tokischa. 

In 2023, we find The Martinez Brothers in a moment of creative renewal, kicking off an exciting new chapter in their illustrious career. They continue to cast a wide net with their collaborations, stepping into the studio with a new generation of artists like Eliza Rose, Tommy Genesis and Mochakk.  

The brothers are furthering their love affair with Ibiza in their second year residency at Hï Ibiza voted #1 Club in the World, after 10 years as residents at Circoloco, Ibiza. Paying homage to the isle that catapulted them to stardom, it was in Ibiza that they met Riccardo Tisci who brought them in to do the music design for his iconic years at Givenchy (2014-2015). 

Last year, the brothers headlined London’s hottest show of the year at Beams warehouse alongside Skepta, who debuted his first house music DJ set in his hometown.  Alongside this, they played the Met Gala afterparty hosted by Dua Lipa and at LOEWE’s Paula’s Ibiza pop up at the Sheats-Goldstein home in LA. 

In 2023 stage hosts include Kappa Futur Festival in Turin, Italy, Panorama Festival in Southern Italy, Eastern Electrics, London, Fabrik, Madrid, Audio Obscura at Amsterdam Dance Event and III Points Festival, Miami. 

The duo are avid sneaker collectors and vinyl record collectors, from all eras of Latin salsa, disco, funk, soul, jazz house and techno.

Music producers from Midlands before rising to prominence in underground house, the Midlands-based beatsmaker was smashing the Bassline scene and bagged two number 1 chart spots on the BBC1 xtra charts knocking the mighty T2’s Heartbroken off the number 1 spot with his Nicole Groove remix. This hurled the Midlands producer into the top spot of the scene. Gracing labels like Rossi B & Luca (Ministry of Sound) label More 2 da Floor, Northern Line Records and Marcus Nasty’s We R Bass with the type of dancefloor pressure steeped in Northern, Niche-inspired bounce.
Releases on Brazilian label Tobus (Sammy W & Alex E from Cuff) Beatdown records (Sonny Fodera) , Sleepin is Cheatin (Tom Zanetti), Abyss Records ,House Entertainment Records, We R Bass, More 2 da floor, Northern Line Records, MFR, Eastside Records and Top Shelf Material Records , X5 Dubs seemingly churns out warehouse workouts every week.
X5 Dubs propagate a new approach to House music, which makes his sets fresh, original and unforgettable. Blending heavy bass tracks with smooth vocals has been one of the secrets behind his success.  X5 Dubs has fast became one of the most booked djs smashing sets in the U.K and abroad and gracing the stage at many a festival. 
When it comes to production, being able to balance the delicate with the dangerous is one of X5’s key strengths as a producer, as is his ability to pull samples from the most unexpected of places and completely switch it up. A technically skilled DJ and superior talent in the scene, we’re expecting X5 Dubs to terrorise clubs with his shuddering bass-house jams deep into next year, and the year after that…
