Martinez Brothers - Fabric Presents The Martinez Brothers (Vinyl LP)

Double LP version. Gatefold sleeve; includes download code. Spending their early years on the streets of the Bronx, The Martinez Brothers went on to tour the world with dance music royalty such as Dennis Ferrer, Erick Morillo, and Louie Vega before they'd even finished high school. This 23-track mix therefore includes respected names like Chicago innovator Paul Johnson and Detroit multi-instrumentalist Amp Fiddler. Three exclusive Martinez Brothers tracks stud the 75-minute offering. "Jam Joint" is a hypnotic, stripped-back groover whilst the lead single "Mistakes" is a more tech-oriented offering. Roots Orchestra, aka the prodigious Timmy Regisford, brings noteworthy percussive roots slant to the New York house electronic collection. The stand-out collaboration with New York house aficionado Louie Vega on the soulful "Let It Go (TMB Alternate Version)" convincingly rounds up the comp. Double-LP vinyl release shows off 12 tracks from the compilation in their full, unmixed finery. The 12 house bangers include the two exclusive Martinez Brothers tracks: "Jam Joint" and "Mistakes". Mahony & Floog's "Nu Mai" is fresh for this mix out later in the year on Vatos Locos. Double-LP also features Tom Flynn, Amp Fiddler, Frak, Sangre Voss, Roots Orchestra, Big Strick, Glen Lewis, Mjojo & Bongani, Dennis Ferrer, Love Letters, Dan Curtin, Brinton McKay, and Abe Duque.
