Bio
A dj since before the laptop was ever seen in the dj booth, Sol Martinez has gone through a variety of musical moods over the years. As a late teen picking up turntables for the first time he was just starting a journey of self identity that would eventually lead back to the influences of his childhood. Sol understands that when treated the right way, mixing records is an art form. The mix is a journey that can take a variety of paths. It could be deep and lush soulful sounds that evoke emotion, to a mix of driving funky tracks that make you crave a disco dance floor, or a combination of both. A tasteful combination of technical ability and track selection are what make mixes by Sol Martinez exciting to see live, as well as jam out to at home, the beach, or the bedroom! ;)
Dominic "Sol" Martinez grew up on a mixture of Motown, Disco, Funk, Soul, and Latin Music thanks to his mother and family. As a child of the 80's he was also influenced by the electronic sounds emerging of that era. This mixture of all of those sounds and rhythms combined with his knowledge of how a dancefloor works over time are what define the sound and feel of Sol Martinez.
Based in Miami, FL Sol Martinez is currently working on various new projects including "5th St. & Funk", a collaboration with break beat dj ekb*.
