Thanks to Spooky productions, DOC MARTIN will hit NZ with his 3 DECK MADNESS on Friday 27th July @ SUBNINE in Wellington.

If there was a house DJ in America who could accurately claim to be the most important house DJ working today, it would be Doc Martin. But then, Doc would never accept such a title even if it happens to be true, because Doc is not only a legendary talent but a legendarily humble man.

Doc Martin began his mission on the decks back in the summer of 1986. His focus on house music from the land of funk and disco was triggered while playing the clubs and warehouses of late 1980s San Francisco. As one of the main founders of the strong West Coast dance scene, Doc has always been a master of mixing the crowd with the music. Never one to get caught up with musical trends, Doc embraces a myriad of musical styles from reggae & old school hip-hop to underground Chicago trax & NYC garage. His unique style has earned him the love and respect of DJs and clubbers worldwide. From his earliest LA days, Doc's legendary 8 hour sets at Flammable Liquid and Sunday Love as well as his stints at many underground loft/warehouse parties, his reputation in house music spread throughout the entire dance music scene. His slot as the opening act for Dee-Lite in 1994 on their world tour brought him to greater exposure. From there, his residency at New York City's infamous Twilo in 1996 and his legendary sets at Cream in Liverpool during their 1995-1997 prime helped fuel the incredible buzz on Doc, earning him an important worldwide profile.

While most star deejays have a brief notoriety helped in large part by a popular 12-inch track, Doc's consistency and longevity stems from his ability to bring many styles of music and people together. In this age of specialised sub-genres among deejays and producers, what sets Martin apart is his unchallenged ability to reach deep into everything from deep house, trax, techno, funk, tribal, and classics and create a cohesive, blissful union. At the top of the US house scene, Doc is constantly touring, playing his music for fans from London to Sydney to Ibiza and everywhere in between.

After a well-publicised illness and resulting 8-month hiatus, Doc has begun to focus extensively on producing his own music in his own recording studio. His recent work remixing A Tribe Called Quest, Moloko and Dub Tribe, as well as original tracks for Moonshine, Shaboom, and DJ Sneak's Defiant Records has inspired Doc to develop his career as a producer and remixer. Currently, Doc is collaborating with a number of artists including R&B singer Mark Bell, producers DJ Sneak, Eddie Amador and Roy Davis Jr.

Doc's magic continues to grow, whether it is on the turntable or in the studio. He is a future legend of house and loved by thousands all over the world. Music over hype will always be Doc's message of love. There are no stars just dance floors and the ability to tap into their energies. Open yourself and step into his world.

Ok for all you who have never heard or seen Doc Martin, all I can say is that he is one of the finest house DJs around today, he has captured a style almost like DJ Spiller with his Latin House combination.

As always he is going to generate a pumping dance floor....
