Clockwork Presents...

JUSTIN MARTIN (USA)
Dirtybird Records

Friday 29th May
Ink Bar K Rd,

With support from: Dick Johnson, Daniel Farley, Tim Richards & Maya+Vanya

Clockwork is pleased to be bringing one of the new era of tech-house' pioneers to New Zealand for the first time direct from San Francisco - Justin Martin.

We have decided to keep this gig as intimate as possible and are keeping it exlcusively to Ink Bar on the night. Inks sound system will also be specially tuned and upgraded for the night to ensure maximum quality from the mans superb tunes.

Justin Martin is a San Francisco house producer who co-runs the Dirtybird label together with Claude VonStroke aka Barclay Crenshaw. Besides 12"s on Dirtybird, Martin has also released singles on Buzzin' Fly, Classic and Utensil Recordings. He has remixed the likes of Radiohead, Marshall Jefferson, Claude Von Stroke, Worthy, & Tim Green.

Justin Martin is one of the few house DJs that successfully bridges the gap between being commercially successful and staying true to the underground. His sound has been described as both melodic and tough, with releases ranging from the dynamic “Cicada” on dirtybird to the slamming “Magnificent” remix for Iz and Diz on OM records.
Justin first gained international acclaim for his single, “The Sad Piano,” on Ben Watt’s Buzzin’fly label. The single made its way into many A-List DJ crates as well as receiving many accolades from critics. Over time, Justin developed a more edgy sound in his hometown of San Francisco. He helped develop the local dirtybird label with his good friend, Claude VonStroke, releasing several amazing singles and remixes.
