David Martinez

DJ David Martinez – SURVIVOR by Austin Downey Many DJs have made their mark on the New York club scene, but few have survived as long as David Martinez. After life-changing experiences on the dance floor at the original Sound Factory nightclub in Chelsea, David picked up and moved to New York City in 1995. He brought with him a wealth of diverse inspiration and a heart of gold where the music was concerned. Like many of his peers, David landed an internship at the legendary Strictly Rhythm dance label under pioneer Michael McDavid and soon landed gigs at Twirl, Splash, XL, Champs, Exit and the legendary J’s Hangout. His gigs soon turned into residencies, and before long David Martinez brought his signature feel-good house sound to Fire Island, where he regularly spun magical mixes for the crowds at Pavilion and Tea. He also worked under such famous Club Promoters as John Blair and Mark Berkley..
