Autumn 2021

A Great first show, with a guest mix from none other than the revered underground Melbourne Dj Aaaron Stringer. 

Sorry about the odd mic distortion. I'll work on that!

Groove Culture Radio 01 - (Guest Mix Aaron Stringer)

Every Saturday 7 - 9pm AET 

This time around there's a focus on Antipodean Deep/proggy House music in the first hour followed by whats rocking my boat elsewhere around the world in the second.
New tunes from all my favourite Aussie and Kiwi producers and Labels and heaps more.

Enjoy!

Hello friends, 

It’s been a while since I’ve put together something for you all. I think I burnt out after putting up a 2 hour mix every week for the radio show! 

However, I finally found the chance (and inspiration to record something new) it’s 2 hours of groove and melody which reflects the last we while for me and as always I recommend you find the space to listen as whole.

Spring 2021 Mix

Hello friends, I’m celebrating the release of my new track on 3rd Avenue. It’s a moody progressive house kinda vibe so I thought I’d make a mix to match it. 

I love Autumn here in the antipodes and I always seem to find great tunes this time of year. 

Please enjoy,  and share if you like it!

Hello Friend, 

I'm glad you've found your way!

 Spring has sprung here in Melbourne and as the weather improves & the days grow longer, I find myself getting more creative. Not just with music but in all areas of my life. Its a time to plant seeds - both metaphorically and in the physical realm. I've got some production seedlings well under way which are due to be planted later this month (Fingers crossed). 

Anywho, I thought I'd make a Spring Mix to celebrate!  Obvs I've gone for a pretty chill vibe with nothing to hectic... but I do hope this mix takes you from 'hammock to garden' to plant some seeds of your own.

Happy listening! X

James Martin @ Comfort Creek Festival 2023

My love letter to Summer 2023/2024. 

Its been cracking summer here in old Melbourne town. There's been some amazing festivals and parties and the weather has held up nicley. With Autumn now upon us I thought its a good time to drop a new mix with some of my favourite tunes I've playing the last few months. 
Its pretty energetic & played in an intimate setting with a few close friends before heading out to see Keinmusik do their thing!

I'll drop a tracklist soon x 

Much Love 

Jim

I didn't record my sets at Burning seed but this is some of the tunes I was flogging! Nothing to dark here just fluffy afternoon goodness. Enjoy :)

If I made a mix that matched the Melbourne spring it would be a pretty challengable listen. But here's what I'm finding a breathe of freash air this season. Hope you enjoy it. Have a nice day.

Dan Morgan - The Mist (James Martin Rework) SNIPPET

What an afternoon of tunes at the Villa! It was an honour to again be invited to play for the Peli's. Had just woken up from an epic 3 1/2 hour set the night before at BBB (Thanks String Daddy for the wake up call) dusted my self off (literally) and away we go again in the breezy Villa.
 I love playing this style of music, light hearted and emotional. Still Grinning! Thanks Pelican Villa and all those who danced, smiled and howled with joy! Wow!

Live at Pelican Villa Burning Seed 2017 ( Sat 1.00 -2.30 pm)

LOVED playing the closing set at BBB Space Bandits, I got to play music straight to the dfloor already bubbling from the most excellent lineup before me. I was quite nervous to begin with but once I settled in with the room its was one of those sets where I really got to go where I wanted.
Ive cut it in two because the second half I played more to my Soul 'O' System alias. Deep, Slow and Low and full of dem feels! Absolute Career highlight!!
Thanks to all who danced, Manned the bar and especially those who stayed with me till the morning came. X
