Interview: The Martinez Brothers

XLR8R talks to the Bronx boys about their favorite gear and tunes...

1. Powerline “Double Journey”
This was one of the first disco records we ever heard and was on constant replay with us. The piano line just always captivated us, not to mention the sick bassline.

2. Kerri Chandler “Never Knew Her”
One of the first house records we ever heard, and a record that also introduced us to Kerri. It really inspired us to dig for "that sound" and of course for Kerri's stuff as well.

3. Vince Watson “Mystical Rhythms”
We first heard this at a Joe Claussell party and it just blew us away! Amazing!

4. Pat Metheny “Are You Going With Me”
Just listen to the record!

5. Slum Village Featuring Q Tip “Hold Tight”
J. Dilla on drums, D'Angelo on keys, and Slum Village and Q Tip on the mic–what more could you ask for?!
