If there was a house DJ in America who could accurately claim to be the most important house DJ working today, it would be Doc Martin. But then, Doc would never accept such a title even if it happens to be true, because Doc is not only a legendary talent but a legendarily humble man. It is therefore with great pride and respect that we finally welcome Doc Martin to the Gangstercast for two solid hours of low rider funk.

Doc Martin’s live sets truly bring people together. The variation in his style of music is endless. What makes him so different from the rest? A unique ability to spin everything from deep house vocals that have much depth and meaning to us all in some way, to his funky tribal bass lines mixed with threads of acid, his passive collection of classics rare records that are only to be heard at his gigs.  When asked about what House music means to him, Doc’s opinion is one to take note of, “It's something that I became obsessed with in 86,and still am to this day. What other music has truly brought people from all over the world together. It put me on a different path emotionally, logically,and spiritually. I'm forever indebted to it.”

His viewpoint on the House Gangster movement is similarly wise, “What's fascinating about the whole House Gangster thing is that it goes beyond just one style of music. I see people from all styles of music,and different backgrounds who are into this. A community of people who are music first. On the outside looking in you would think it's just about banging beats. I think it's more of an attitude of pushing underground sounds from the past,and future. Skills are required for that, but also understanding of the music you are playing. People tend to play it safe but that isn't playing is it.”

Doc Martin has developed the respect as a house DJ that so many of us admire. It is this respect that keeps him constantly touring around the globe.  Doc’s association with DJ Sneak extends back for years and the duo continue to delight audiences with their 4 deck 2 mixer sets.

Speaking of his mix for the Gangstercast Doc comments, “This mix was recorded live at an underground in LA called Oxygen. The vibe was very good that night. I like a bit of everything.The sets that I enjoy are the ones, where I get to flow between styles. This [recording] was one of those nights.  One thing that I try to do is get caught in the moment. No planning mixes ahead. Just jump in feet first and trust yourself with what you do. Know your music and create with it.”

Loudeast  - Lights Off! (2001)

One of the best (House) tracks ever made. It’s a minimal track, but because the original, special feeling and atmosphere it arranged, it’s something almost no other track can do! I found it due the algorithm on Youtube.

Rock your baby - Kimbassdj Remix

The idea for this song came together in the late 90's. The words were inspired by what I was experiencing at the time. It seemed like just a repetitive phrase at first, but after listening to it several times, I realized how something little meant so much. 
When I first sent this to the Snuff Crew, they immediately replied that they were interested in it. I took the song back in the studio and gave it a slight update.  I kept the original vocal and 707/808 drums. 
I updated the Bass line and used a Juno 60 as opposed to the original Prophet 600 sound. I'm both surprised and happy as far as the amount of attention this has received. I can't thank The Snuff Crew enough for inspiring me to finish this. Also want to thank Strictly Rhythm for taking it to the next level with their Digital release.  Currently the vinyl version is the only place you can get the Acid & Instrumental mix. Also there's is an  A capella version found only on the digital release. The Ep is now available at most record stores and digital online sites. Here are a few links.

Mystic Bill -  U Won't C Me  Original Mix _Pre Mastering

Global Communication_The Way_Secret Ingredients Mix (unofficial remaster)

Fresh on the trail of this year’s exceptional long player ‘Noir’, Steve Bug returns with perhaps his most deep house-oriented track in a while – ‘The Long Run’.

Teaming up with US house legend Mr. V, who inititally donated vocals only, the collaboration brought up Mr V‘s own interpretation of Bug‘s track. This release is as delicious a serving of classic New York deep house as you will hear all year – or any year.

Dessous’ main man is at the controls, riding out a sumptuous, Rhodes-driven groove that references golden era Kerri Chandler and friends, but remains completely rooted in 2012. Mr V’s spoken word vocal lays out the manifesto for these two house pioneers – both are committed to quality music, made with passion and respect.

Next stop on ‘The Long Run’ is Mr. V’s stunning take on the same track. Ratcheting up the percussive elements, the New York native injects hints of the Latin rhythms that define many of his productions, making this into a stone-cold club banger whatever the party.

Both tracks come with corresponding instrumental versions for the DJs, rounding out this irresistible release that continues Dessous’ outstanding run of releases this year.

Sleepless nights dancing to the acid house and techno house sounds of the mid 90’s put Julien under the spell of masterful DJ’s like Carl Cox, Louie Vega, and Derrick Carter. Late nights were all about dancing and learning the techniques, programing and mixing styles of the experienced DJ. At the age of 17, Julien started making mixtapes for friends. The early mixtapes led to dj sets at house parties and one off events, which eventually opened the doors to Julien’s first club gig. 

Julien began making waves in Toronto in the early 2000’s with residencies at the world-renowned Guvernment Nightclub and after hours favorite, Comfort Zone. His selected blend of house and techno music together with his magnetic charisma behind the decks, has moved dance floors from New York to Ibiza, Mexico to Miami to South and Central America, and beyond.

In 2008, Julien was invited to play at the 1st Annual BPM Festival in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, where a memorable set at Kool Beach Club led to a running residency with the festival. During these years, Julien has been the opening act for global DJ’s like Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, and Lee Burridge as well as DJing alongside some of the world’s most respected underground artists. In 2012, Julien made his Ibiza debut at Sankey’s and at New York’s Electric Zoo Festival, a three day festival in the heart of the big apple with over 100,000 attendees. 

After a number of bootlegs and white label remixes, including a remix of Boris Dlugosch’s “Keep Pushin”, Julien signed his first single “Don’t Stand So Close”, to Rawthentic Records. The single charted in the top ten of Beatport’s Minimal House downloads. Later that year he signed his “Fused EP” with Greg Gows Restructured label. “State of Mind”  made it on the label's 10 Years of Restructured compilation and was charted by numerous DJs. Since then, Julien’s music has found home on international imprints such as Inmotion, Potobollo, Proper Music, Pins and Needles, and Serkal. His tracks have been played and supported by global DJ’s such as Marco Carola and Nic Fanciulli, and have appeared on various charts including the globally competitive Beatport Top 100.

In 2017 Luv House was launched. A label on which Julien has released his latest productions like “Sax Tribe” featuring UK’s Alex Bone on sax and “These Games” featuring the talented vocalist, Shadrack Jackman. Luv house has also been a platform for dance events in Toronto, and his new home on the west coast of Canada, Victoria, BC. 

During the COVID pandemic lock downs, Julien began to work on a new project that incorporates his lyrical writing, vocals, keyboard playing and his love for live music through collaborations with talented musicians. The first EP is set to be released in spring 2023 with a BC tour to follow. In the meantime, Julien continues to set the soundtrack for dancefloors, locally and beyond, as well as release house music influenced productions on the Luv House label.
