Martin Schwentick, aka The Bacteria, was first injected into the US system in 1992 from Frankfurt, Germany. After playing the guitar in several bands and producing music on his own, in 2000 he bought his first set of Technics 1200's. Since he first began buying records, Bacteria has fallen in love with electronic music of all kinds, but mainly dirty breakbeats, drum and bass and house music. On the decks, Martin is known for his precise mixing, cutting edge track selection and near maniacal stage presence. After rocking house parties, club nights and electronic music events for over 10 years, this DJ is now a regular on the Arizona DJ circuit and is finally getting back into his first love: production. After playing the guitar in a live act called Decibel Attack(DJ John Stettler -R.I.P-,DJ Arek, Hazmat on Drumz and MC Precise) several years ago, Bacteria is now getting back to producing beats on his own using his his laptop, guitars, a Korg Triton and also adding vocals.
As of late, Bacteria is playing a lot of dirty UK Breakbeats from labels such as Broke Recordings, Cut and Run, Drunken Unstable and Bass Rock. In addition he has also been showcasing a newer sound of breaks which is influenced by the recent Electro/Fidget House "craze" as well as throwing in some dub-step/trap from time to time. Playing as Martin S, he has also been known to drop drum and bass sets which showcase both the bouncier, as well as the darker sides of the genre. Highlights for Martin include a trip in 07, to the Winter Music Conference in Miami to compete pool-side at the Miami Beach Resort, for a DMC sanctioned beat mixing competition, and also performing at Tastemakers of Breaks in South Beach @ Jazzid, next door to Miami Ink.
 
Past residencies include: Opium, Drinx, Several stints at ACME Road House in Tempe AND Old Towne Scottsdale; Digital Theory's I Love Breakbeats @ Urban Heat in Mesa, AZ; as well as being one of the founders of the local "Fraktured" Chapter - A national break-beat "Syndicate," who's head in Seattle, reached out to Martin and Excell aka Matt- longtime breakbeat co-conspirators from 602 Productions/The Pharmacy - Live Act - Re-encarnation of "Decibel Attack," to have them spearhead the new "Chapter." It was since decided that, for the better of the night, Martin take a back-seat to things, but Martin would be instrumental in getting the night its first official venue and bringing many a break-beat-lover through that door! Since then, things have been a bit "slower" for "Bacteezy" in recent times- as he struggles with some life challenges, like home-less ness and medical issues... he is finally now, re-BUILT, to a point where he can once-again pursue his PASSION for the MUSIC!!!
