History:
Martin has been involved in the Harlow event scene for over 20 years, but it’s been during the last two that things have really taken off for him.
Following his set at the first EOS event in October 2017, Martin achieved a life long dream and found himself booked to play in Ibiza for Detached Parties in May 2018. This led to a phone call from Slipmatt asking him to play an extra set on the final night at Plastik.
After Ibiza, he played his first-ever set in London and started to see many of the mixes that he uploaded to Mixcloud hit the top 15 of their respective charts. 
On the back of this Martin decided that Harlow needed an Old Skool event and launched Old’s Kool in November 2018.
2019 was a great year for Martin, and he played lots of events including Slipmatt & Chalkie White’s 90s House Party at McQueen, Shoreditch Chalkie White’s Birthday Bash, at Westbank Gallery EOS pt III at The Shark House is a Feeling: One Love At Fest, Camden, We Are Family/Raver Tots in Orpington, Kent. Sold-out Old’s Kool parts II & III Slip Back in Time/Old Skool Ibiza, where he played at Essigi and at the Boat Party.
He has also played his first big festivals with sets at both Sunbourne/Moondance Festival, and Back of Beyond Festival. 
2020:
2020 saw Martin have bookings confirmed for: 
Reflexion, Slip Back in Time /Old Skool Ibiza, Proper Oldskool/Acid House Experience, and We Are Family. 
Martin was also booked to play the main stages at House & Classics Festival and Proper Fest this summer, but due to Covid-19 restrictions these events have either been cancelled or moved to 2021.
During the lockdown period, Martin has played twice for Proper Fest as part of their live stream events. These streams, along with his monthly show on Electric Radio and fortnightly show on the legendary Fantasy FM, have kept him nice and busy.
The Future:
For 2021, Martin has once again had bookings confirmed for Slip Back in Time/Old Skool Ibiza, and main stage appearances at Proper Fest and House & Classics Festival.

Martin can now be also be found kicking off your weekends every friday afternoon from 4-6pm (uk time) with his radio show "The Weekend Has Landed" on www.housemusicradio.co.uk
