Hailing from sunny Tenerife, he started off his career in the underground electronic world as a resident DJ and promoter, before catching the ears of influential clubs around Europe and being invited to take charge of the decks at the likes of fabric London, Goa Madrid and Chalet Berlin.



A highly promising talent, in 2013 Hanfry was nominated ‘Best Spanish Artist’ and ‘Best Deep House DJ’ by the industry-respected Vicious Magazine. And with a string of quality EPs like ‘Distraction Way’ and ‘Hasta Luego’ on Terence:Terry:’s La Vie En Rose, or ‘Vamos Mi Niño’ with Javier Carballo  on One Records, it’s not hard to understand why. Having also released and remixed on Get Physical, Nordik Net, Esperanza, La Drumma, 1trax Readymade and Hot Creations, look out for his joint production alias with Justin Harris as House Of Warez, debuting on underground cult imprint ( djebali ) presents.



In 2010 he started Overall Music with close friend and fellow Canarian Javier Carballo. Quite simply, Hanfry explains the aim is to “create an original and innovative sound that stays true to our influences”. Standout EPs include ‘Nothing Written’ and ‘Off Days’ from the label bosses, while the calibre of guest artists includes Livio & Roby to Maya Jane Coles, Subb-An, Guti, Djebali, Jef K, Adam Shelton and John Dimas.



Continuing to bring the best in underground music to Tenerife with his new residency party BEEPER, we can expect to see much more of Hanfry Martinez internationally with his rapidly escalating profile around Europe’s House hotspots.

From early breakout hit "Phat Dope Shit" in 2002 to "Heavy Heart", a new collaboration with Skrillex and Fireboy DML, Dice has always been in the headlines. After his debut album "7 Dunham Place" on his own now long-running and well-regarded Desolat in 2008, came the major label follow-up "Underground Sound Suicide" on Ultra Music with guests like Giggs, Just Blaze, and Neneh Cherry, then the agenda-setting and club-focussed house and techno showcase that was "Love Letters" in 2018. 

Add in tens of EPs on Ovum, Minus, Cocoon, to name a few, and his remixes from everyone from Kevin Saunderson to Moby, Black Coffee to Disclosure, Warren G to Basement Jaxx, Loco Dice has always been at the beating heart of the electronic scene. 

His DJ sets, too, always brim with personality, whether in a small underground basement or on an iconic main stage at some of the world's top festivals like EDC Ultra, Tomorrowland and Coachella to name a few, playing to thousands. He has had era-defining residencies at iconic Ibiza super clubs like Circoloco at DC-10 and on the Amnesia Terrace as well at Space Miami. 

His lockdown move has been to unveil En Coleur, a label reserved exclusively for his own music produced at that time. SB Recordings followed. A new label open to all styles of dance music.

Since day one Loco Dice constantly pushes the boundaries of techno and house music production, from his appearance in 2004 PlayStation2 game "Decks & FX" to cooking up his own ideal fusions of hip hop and electronic music with his FKD side project or writing critically acclaimed runway soundtracks for Italian fashion designer Marcelo Burlon during Men’s Fashion Week in Milan for both FW20 and SS20.

Dice's distinctive fashion sense and strong visual aesthetic manifest in his collaborations with Amsterdam fashion label Daily Paper, pro sports hat purveyors New Era and in his own clothing brand Seran Bendecidos. 

All of this and his longevity prove that Loco Dice is undoubtedly an insatiable creative force most interested in the uncharted territory between genres and styles, the elements that link everything together.
