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.

Best renowned for his former guise, as one-half of the unostentatious duo ‘Dubsons,’ and co-founder of vinyl only outlet 'Algorhythmic,' Vlad Arapasu skews to the more percussive side of the Romanian spectrum. Incorporating hints of jazz, most likely emanating from his early influences from the likes of Wes Montgomery and Alice Coltrane, Vlad's symbiotic approach to his music has seen his latest compositions acquired by fellow countryman Priku, for his acclaimed 'Atipic' imprint, and more recently on East End Dubs eponymous label 'Eastenderz'.
 
But whilst his solo production project may still be relatively embryonic, Vlad is no newcomer on the DJ circuit. Boasting a 14-year tenure which began with s a salient residency at XS club in Iasi, Vlad has cut-his-teeth alongside some of Romania's most illustrious turntable purveyors, including Rhadoo, Raresh, Barac, Cezar and Dubtil, to name but a few.
 
Fast-forward to today and Vlad’s discerned sound has been disseminated across 3 new continents. Inaugural tours to South America and Australia in 2019, included standout shows at D-Edge in Sao Paulo, S.A.S.H in Sydney and Breakfast Club in Melbourne, whilst pre-lockdown 2020 also brought his African debut, in Casablanca.
 
Touring aside, it’s his endeavours in the studio last year which deserve most plaudits. The launch of his vinyl imprint Kontent, has curated an outlet through which to channel his satiable aptitude for both self-exploration in the space between visceral percussive flow and spellbinding texture, and the procurement of new music from the artists who inspire him most.
 
With a growing reputation as an impeccable sequencer and a discerning ear for exemplary cuts, it is unsurprising that Vlad is slowly asserting himself at the forefront of Romania’s next-wave.

Both musical journeys started very different until they got combined. 
    Peter’s touch to music came first around 2002, when he started mcing and producing hip-hop in a project named Demotape. 
Demotape’s view of their music was strictly underground old school beats and free. Some years after they started attending hip hop events, and making collaborations with other artists,  but never officially released because the moto was : ”No money, just hip hop”. Later on Peter saw himselsf in the techno rhythm and has stayed there eversince.

 Simon has the art in his hart. He finished a high school of applied arts and is now a graduate student of applied arts in the New Bulgarian University. Simon’s musical career started also around the beginning of the new milenium as a warm up act and a student of electronic djs around the Black sea. 

His love for the decks was so insuperable, that he still has his CDJ700 limited at home. When he went to Sofia he accidently met Peter, who was studying law there and their music matched perfectly so they decided to start the Moodmakers project.

They started making regular gigs in Sofia during winters and at the Black sea at beach bars, music venues, underground partys and more . Things were going well but they demanded more. 
   Some years after their upgraded set-up has let them play live, which took them to another level. They were invited to attend as headliners at the Underground festival, which is a free, very respected electronic festival at the Black sea and they met with the Sci fi family.

 Moodmakers started doing less gigs and more studio time, and last year they were part of the label’s night at the biggest festival in Bulgaria the “Spirit of burgas”

 Simon’s side of moodmakers is more groovy and wild, pretty much the best you could listen at a terrace, beach or during sunrise and Peete’s one is more raw techno sound. Both combined tend to make the most “moodmade” experience one could catch in a club.

Moodmakers' plans are to release their debut album “moodmade” for Sci Fi and start making regular festival appearances, witch in their words are the most suitable for their act.
