Sonz Of The Pitch  - Little Routine #49 (2015)

Philips Martens is a DJ born in Quebec City, Canada. He first made contact with music in high school and marching bands, where he learned how to get people to stomp to the beat. Growing up with a pair of headphones glued to the head, he discovered house music in his teens as a natural drug to combat the dullness of the early 2000s pop music.

First inspired by house legend Mark Farina as far back as 1997, he found his path in rich organic beats, ranging from Hip Hop to Jazz, Funk and NuDisco which later led to witnessing the birth of Jacking House music with its distinctive fast, uplifting beats meant to drive parties crazy until morning come.

After moving to Montreal to dive into the heart of its underground house music scene, he started DJing with the jumpstarting help of close friends and artists such as Spindeman and Roux Soundsystem, and learned his trade by heating up dancefloors and driving parties wild wherever he plays. Recently affiliated with Jack's Kartel Records label, he is poised to bring Jacking House into the ears of enthusiasts in 2017 with a roundhouse kick of bass to the chest.

I started DJing in 1997 or 1998. I don't remember exactly. I was 12 or 13 years old, and I admired my mother's cousin, Thomas, who was a DJ at the time. I spent countless days and nights watching him mix in his studio. One day, I was helping him with a repair in his studio, and he said, "A little music wouldn't be bad right now. Hey Stivi, put on some of my records—you already know how it works." That was the starting signal. I found records by Jocelyn Brown, Barbara Tucker, and many more in his collection—and I felt pure satisfaction in my heart. Not long after, Thomas took me to the discotheque where he was the resident DJ. He let me play warm-ups and gave me part of his fee—which ultimately became my first job. Since then, I've worked on countless projects and have played in many clubs, festivals, and on radio shows. My passion often brought me to the brink of financial existence, which made me try to forget about music – but I haven't been able to do it so far, no matter how hard I tried. Now I'm old and experienced enough to accept that this is my life and my purpose – my friend Vaclav from Prague would say it's my destiny :) My heart beats to the rhythm of driving techno and stomping, soulful garage house ❤️
