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.

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

Adrian Eftimie,was born on the 17th of May 1978 in Bucharest.

His love for music started early in his life! He was 14 years old when he felt the calling to music! From that moment on, mixing became his passion!

In 1992, with support from his best friend, a dream come true: the first radio show broadcasted by a pirate radio station – “illegal” (due to the restraint rules back in the days).

Just two years after he becomes Dj/Producer at Uniplus Radio,the first Independent Radio Station in Romania. 
Enthusiastic, passionate and with a huge potential he is soon invinted to perform as a resident in Le Baron Disco Club (Bucharest). Due to great success he decided to focus more on DJ’ing being more and more attracted to it. The next step is residency in Space Club, a well known and famous club back then.

At the age of 19, he already runs his own radio show in the top two radio stations with national coverage, Radio21 and Kiss FM. This was just another springboard to notoriety! 
His talent gets recognition when he was designated the best DJ among many other youngsters performing as residents in Kristal Glam Club (a place to be seen in Bucharest ). 
But Adrian needs challenge, so why not try to expand and use his talent over the producer’s area? In 2006, under the Sony Music guidance the hit “No Side Effect” was launched! A track that easily took an honorable place in top ten charts. Many Romanian and international producers appreciated it, also remixed the track. 
Other hits like “Desire” , “City Lights” and “Black Sea Coast” followed soon after. “Elevation” is his winning masterpiece at Heineken Music Thirst contest…and this way the borders opened: Ministry of Sound (London), Turnmills (London), Le Souk (New York), Buddha Bar (Sharm El Sheikh) – just to name a few.

In 2007, Adrian joined the One FM team. You can “warm up” for the weekend by listening his radio show, every Thursday starting 22:00.

Two years in a row (2006 and 2007) Adrian won the second place for The Best Romanian Dj at <a href="http://Nigths.ro">Nigths.ro</a> Awards.

Climbing to the top continued in 2009, when he’s nominated again in the same category! Getting the award for The Best Romanian Dj was just icing on the cake!

To be continued…
