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.

The best kind of choices are made by heart.

Nicolas Ruiz is currently living in Argentina. He started his career as a DJ at the young age of 14, getting to know people from the party scene and the whole music environment. He also organized amazing events in the region of Misiones in Argentina, besides having his own radio show, where he showed his musical taste, his influences, and promising future.
Since his early age, he has had inquisitiveness at music trends and curiosity to dig into new sounds. In 2011, during a trip to his second home in Switzerland, he took part at a DJ competition and won the first prize: playing at the crowded Street Parade mega festival. The Street Parade is an event which gets together about 1 million people every year. Nicolas Ruiz won the contest through votes on the web, and through a jury that got dazzled by his great talent. Then, he showed his skills as a DJ to the crowd in one of the worlds biggest electronic party. After this huge experience, he participated at the Swiss Nightlife Awards, where he did the warm up to DJs like Fedde Le Grand and Eric Pridz.
During 2012, he was booked to play at different cities for important events in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Switzerland, performing with Jimmy Van M (Bedrock), Marcelo Vasami (Buenos Aires), Facu Carri, D-Nox (Germany), and more. His musical style is House, Tech House and Progressive House, always adapting himself to the places, the party and, of course, to the crows.
Nicolas sets the dancefloors on fire wherever he is. He captivates even the most challenging audience, due to his charisma and discernment. From the DJ booth -his workplace and place of passion- he is grateful for the affection and reciprocity of the crowd."
