We’re excited to announce the arrival of true house music veteran 

, February 10th 2024. We are also bringing you one of the freshest prodigies out of Brazil's underground scene, 

, for a double whammy of musical alchemy. 

DJ and producer since 1990, Martin’s talent goes far beyond what you may initially ponder. A fully trained studio engineer and jazz pianist, his remix credentials include names such as Mariah Carey, Jamiroquai, Joey Negro, Masters At Work, MK, Armand Van Helden, plus many more. The list is almost as impressive as his plethora of aliases over the years!

He has quite literally dedicated his life to music, releasing records since the age of 17 on some of the most coveted labels, including Toolroom, Ultra and Insomniac, as well as establishing his own Soul Purpose imprint in 2003.

Hooked by MARTIN IKIN

Though he’s got nearly two decades of musical wizardry under his belt, you may best know him for his 2019 track ‘Hooked’ released on Fisher’s massively sought-after Catch and Release label. Although his career has recently taken off to new heights, Martin is a true veteran of electronic music.

Joining him to amalgamate sounds is Bruno Furlan, one of Brazil’s burgeoning tech house sensations and founder of his own record label ‘

Ever-growing and learning from the musical inspirations ingrained into him during culturally enriched childhood, Bruno is an artist that persists on surprising his peers with innovative sounds. With releases on labels such as Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations, Chris Lake’s Black Book Records, and Sonny Fodera’s Solotoko, it’s clear to see that his talents haven’t gone unnoticed by the big guns.

La Fiesta

Based in São Paulo, the bubbling talent has built on his early experiences within the Brazilian electronic music scene to make appearances at some incredible events alongside the likes of Amine Edge & Dance, Green Velvet and Claude VonStroke, Nicole Moudaber and more. Now it’s time for him to make his NY debut with Gray Area.
