DJ Doc Martin “The Resident Mixologist”

Spinning records for appreciative admirers for years has been just one of the many blessings in the life and music career of our “Resident Mixologist,” DJ Doc Martin. Born and raised in Connecticut and deejaying since high school, his specialty is Club Classics and Soulful House music, and many a club goer has left his live DJ events with great memories and sore feet!   

Doc has been on the air at WBLS (107.5FM) in New York since 2008. He currently can be heard mixing every Friday night at 9pm. He has also been involved in many successful Tri-State area projects, including serving as Grand Marshal in the 2018 New York City Dance Parade, and an appearance in House music legend CeCe Roger’s “When We All Pull Together” video. 

Doc spends hours studying music, looking for the one track that makes the listener say, “Oh wow, I haven’t heard that on the radio in a long time!” Doc says the ultimate thrill will always be the reaction of the crowd when he plays the right song at the right time of the evening. The good Doctor is in, check him out!

Sole Channel Music had humble beginnings as a weekly Saturday night party in the vibrant heart of New York City, aptly named Sole Channel.
The driving force behind this endeavor was to craft an atmosphere around deep dance grooves and present them to a new generation of club enthusiasts.
With an outpouring of love and support from DJs, producers, and fans alike, Mr. V recognized that the time was ripe to launch his own imprint. This platform would not only showcase his prowess as a producer and songwriter but also infuse fresh ideas into the underground music scene.

Speaking of the label's unique sound, Mr. V emphasizes, "When I think of Sole Channel Music, I envision a label with a clear vision and purpose.
The label's sound is unmistakably oriented towards the future."

Innovation and Collaboration:
Armed with innovative sounds, novel concepts, and exciting musical collaborations featuring some of today’s hottest DJs, producers, and artists, Sole Channel Music transcends the conventional label archetype.
It is a dynamic, forward-thinking entity that defies the copy-and-paste formula.
Sole Channel Music represents more than just a record label; it signifies innovation, precision, and a commitment to pushing boundaries in music.

​Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the future of sound—welcome to Sole Channel Music.

Having previously toured and released under different guises and styles, GAWP is certainly no stranger to the music industry... 

As a result of a lifetime in the studio perfecting his craft and being mindful to only put out music of the highest standard, GAWP has already released a string of tracks on Mixmag’s ‘Label Of The Decade’ Dirtybird, alongside a number of highly respected imprints including Toolroom, Elrow, Incorrect, In:rotation, Night Bass and Sink or Swim. 

GAWP’s productions consistently gain support from a vast spectrum of established artists and peers encompassing the likes of Claude VonStroke, Justin Martin, Fatboy Slim, Chris Lake, Fisher, Idris Elba, Mark Knight, Walker and Royce, John Summit and Kyle Watson. 

This support across the board has quite rightly translated into DJ shows the world over. From previous tours in the US and Australia to regular events throughout Europe, 

GAWP has consistently proven himself on the circuit. Tipped as DJ Mag’s “One To Watch” and the direct support act for Oliver Heldens and Gene Farris on their respective tours, GAWP is able to provide accompaniment to a wide range of DJ’s whilst never failing to showcase his signature, unorthodox sound.

Right place, right time. It's an old cliché, but it's one that's been the definition of Dennis Ferrer's musical career. Just as the dance music world was heading into the world of afro-centric house, Ferrer was there. And then, when it began to embrace the mix of tech and soul, Ferrer was there again, leading the way with his impeccable productions. As Ferrer goes, it seems, so does electronic music. And, as someone who's never content to do the same thing twice, it's clear that he'll be staying on top for years to come.

Ferrer burst back into the consciousness of most dance music heads with the release of "Sandcastles," (Ibadan) his collaboration with Jerome Sydenham in 2003. But, to his credit, Ferrer didn't simply repeat the formula afterwards. He has continued to push a variety of genres all at once. It's clear that Ferrer isn't content to rest on his laurels: he's too busy dreaming up new ways to shock and delight audiences.

In the mid-90’s, Ferrer was crafting techno records as Morph and then had success in the Afro and gospel house scenes with releases via his Sfere label, an imprint he began alongside Kerri Chandler. But it's this past work that gives his new productions such resonance: unlike many of this house peers, Ferrer's techno experience has given him an edge that you can hear in his recent work.

"Son of Raw," (Ibadan) "Church Lady," (Defected) "Underground Is My Home," (King Street Sounds), "Touched the Sky" (King Street Sounds), “Transitions” (King Street Sounds), “P 2 Da J” (Defected),  “Sinfonia Della Notte” (Strictly Rhythm), “Hey Hey” (Objektivity), “Red Room” (Objektivity), “Underground” Nick Curly – Dennis Ferrer Remix (Defected), to name a few, have all been huge dance floor anthems and all show a different side of the Ferrer personality as well as his impressive range as producer and remixer.

Ferrer has brought his ‘anything goes’ approach to his label, Objektivity.  Celebrating its 8th anniversary in 2014, the imprint has thus far focused itself on vocals, featuring often unlikely turns from indie heroes like Ane Brun and Télépopmusik. Low slung and deep, Objektivity is a cutting-edge label in touch with its time, putting a uniquely American spin on the deep house revival that is currently making waves in Europe. Objektivity is a living, breathing thing - one that's set to drop bombs on the dance floor for years to come.

While Ferrer closes out 2013 with “Mind Ur Step” (Defected), “Mind Ur Dub” (Objektivity) and a remix of Coyu - “Salvation” (Noir Music), the best is yet to come. With a deep knowledge of the past and a constant push for the future, Ferrer remains one of the true greats of house music - a leader and innovator whose enjoying the buzz around him but keeping on pushing the limits. Stay tuned.
