In our third film about artists on the road, we follow Chris and Steve Martinez from their old home in The Bronx to their new one in Ibiza.
"People in The Bronx just tend to stay in The Bronx," says Steve Martinez of The Martinez Brothers. He and his brother Chris are an exception, and their ticket out was house music. They released their first EP as baby-faced teenagers, and were a fixture on the global club circuit years before they were legally allowed in American clubs. Six years later, at 21 and 25, they're already seasoned pros, but they still seem a little stunned by it all. In this episode of Between The Beats, we follow The Martinez Brothers on a relatively short journey (The Bronx to Chicago to Hertfordshire to Ibiza), and hear about the larger one they've been on since 2007.

I used to be friends with Steve in High School and I remember him getting made fun of because he was into house music cause everybody else in the Bronx listened to Hip Hop. Glad to see he made it.

[@jennapornographyjame]

Its just not ordinary for a Puerto Rican to listen to house. Ibiza has only one club that plays hip hop and people who got to that club get laughed at. Its crazy to see the differences between both cultures and how some people are born and raised in places they never relate to.

[@Dominicanbulk]

@@jennapornographyjame exactly. American culture seas House music for gays only. Shit is whack. Hip hop sucks IMO

[@TreyPrankz]

@@Dominicanbulk BRO, YES! I want to change this in American culture. Lived in Europe for two years and now in Asia for three... Been all around the world... Been to Ibiza twice - house is the ONE! Could be such a large market if we got America on

[@roxcbrown8821]

people make fun of what they don't understand

[@robertwilkinson5059]

Definitely made it

[@user-fl9ti9ej8g]

This video aged extremely well given the journey that they’ve been on. I think it’s safe to say the Martinez Bros made it, no doubt. They the hottest shit out, been dat!!

[@JamilyaJA]

Love how they talk about Ibiza. Ibiza - is definitely is an energy, it is an atmosphere. Nothing like Vegas or artificial places

[@TreyPrankz]

YES

[@Koxocw]

So true, as soon as you get off the plane there’s a vibe which I’ve found nowhere else in the world

[@SCORPIO16497]

The best part was seeing how much the family supported each other . Their father is awesome.

[@kareemali94]

Damn I wish my father would support me the way their father does! That is how you produce greatness in your children.

[@lloydcarter8662]

This is one of the dopest videos about djs lives that I have seen. I love how humble these brothas are. Keep producing good music bros!!!!

[@mariofreak444]

compare these dudes to seth troxler... these guys are mad real

[@joshuamills7633]

Lmao fast forward 6 years and it’s the same shit, sellout super star djs making 2bit tech house

[@laronn]

These are some cool and humble cats. Made me more a fan of this duo.

[@TheTriangleOffense47]

Man flying every weekend during the school year to do a international gig sounds crazy. What a life to live at such a young age, they definitely put the work in

[@Mixmag]

Amazing documentary. Big respect.

[@jedgarthwaite]

There dad seems super cool 👏🏽👌🏽

[@OhSoChloex]

They seem so down to earth

[@bigrippp]

theses 2 brothers are inspirational

[@jaguarvssnake]

How can you not love these guys? And wow, their dad is incredible.

[@kimbobaloola7932]

What a Father Figure!!!!!!!!!! That's Love ::))

[@ninazoomevele8194]

I wish you all the best. God keep sending you all kind of blessings. Thank you for the amazing music you're sharing with us, and for this wonderful energy you're giving us. Thank you daddy Martinez for allowing us discover your talented sons. Seen you in Paris and danced like crazy. Hopefully this year I will have another opportunity to groove with you...

[@Lani012]

Saw them for the first time back in '08 at DEEP in LA...they were so impressive. Their success is well-deserved.

[@drkdrumz]

I was there. Lol fun night

[@saifadte1]

Their father is a real G

[@JoshySmoshyMC]

8:12 So true, can't believe people will miss out on such quality music

[@ashcfc1smith473]

Saw these in DC10 this year and they were quality, can tell they appreciate what they do and put effort into their mixes/sets

[@jackharrison5967]

Circoloco is one of the best nights ive ever had. Been to Ibiza the last 4 years in a row and never missed it.

[@ThompterSHunson]

This video is way before they awarded the 'Best Tech-House' award from DJ Mag Awards. They absolutely deserve it, extremely humble boys! The father, though... Mad respect! From a guy that didn't even met a father. Now they made it sir! ;)

[@Chat03848]

Am I the only one that thinks this kind of series should continue?

[@mr.majestick827]

great to see latino brothers doing positive things god bless !!!!

[@treakditty]

the future is blindingly bright for these two.

[@djslimm74]

I met them @ Dance Tracks in NYC a long time ago when they were REALLY young. They came in with their dad and 1 of them asked Phil if he had "Mystery Of Love" by Mr. Fingers....I turned around and was in shock. I couldn't believe these kids even knew what that was! But even more than that,I appreciated the fact that they DID know it as young as they were. A sign of things to come I guess..

[@glow9114]

Saw them perform last year in LA. Phenomenal 👏

[@roxcbrown8821]

These guys are too sweet its like techno fairytales . I always loved their production and mixing*

[@Nite85]

coolest dad in the fkin world

[@seankilmartin2867]

RA should release a series like this music speaks the truth and i think these between the beats pieces could change the minds of the people who think these people are just about drugs and partying such a great insight...... "In class listening to louie vega mix'ssss "

[@ti_na_a_]

BIG respect Martinez family !!!

[@datgruvee]

The importance of parental support!

[@kill2luv]

[@GROVE-PRODUCTIONS]

Legends! awsome

[@DarkuJ]

Dad of the year.

[@bebeysmael1.]

Nice. If I were showing my old house, I would have knocked on the door and told the people that lived there that I used to live in that house, would they mind if I came in to take a look at how it looks now? I did that once. The people shared with me because that's where I grew up. Next time you go visit your old house, try to get to know the people that live there now and just share with them. It's a great way to make a new acquaintance. When you do what you do, it's always good to share the love and network. :-) Make friends wherever you go because you never know when you might need them and vice versa.

[@user-zn2qy1kg2o]

hope to see you again in greece!

[@vince7047]

Great piece RA! I just wish this would have touched on the production aspect of this career which is what really propels the global traveling.

[@ShaynAlmeida]

@ 8:17 ... "& now, them dudes are probably listening to David Guetta like, thinking like they're hot, ya kno wha I mean"? Hahaha! Fking Awesome ~ These 2 are Fking RAD! Great Music from two Bros with Great attitudes! Can't wait to see them again in LA :)

[@shvnduck657]

まじでかっこいい。憧れ

[@butterflybooth]

hey bob, the story with dennis is very well documented, this is going for a new angle and goes into deeper depth of where the boys came from and where they are now.

[@sousasamm]

[@juandiegomartinez7264]

Respecttttt

[@neftalifigueroa3739]

That track called ISSSSHHHH is the ISSSSHHHHH!!!!

[@roger9162]

[@JLektro]

Does it really matter? It's about upbringing, and the bronx, how they started. that alone is inspiring
