Martinez, real name Martin Swanstein, was born in 1981 and raised in the southernmost part of Sweden. At quite early age he discovered techno and later house music and since he already played keys, guitar, and flute it was a natural development to start to produce dance music on his computer. He also got himself a pair of turntables and started to hunt records. At this time Martin was to young to attend the clubs, instead he arranged his own house parties on the beach, often with himself as DJ. In the middle of 2003 Martinez felt a stronger passion for the more techier and experimental sounds of house music. He started to work more with samples and electro base-sounds as well as introducing something that he calles, „Cosmic House“. A spacey house sound in a mixture of tech, atmosphere and colourfull melodies. Not long after this Martinez got called up by Steve Bug for a release on his DeepHouse imprint, Dessous Recordings, which resulted in „Skywalker EP“, which was a huge success with many DJs around the globe. This opened up a whole new side of Martinez music, more edge and twisted.. the more the better! Not long after Martinez launched his own label, Out of Orbit Recordings. He has released three eps by himself on Out of Orbit as well as a 12inches from friends of him like, Trentemoller (huge success with Beta Boy/orb003), Zvukbroda and Jussi Pekka. Martinez also got two tracks signed to the very well reputed Get Physical label out of Berlin.
