A new tough jacking funk has typified the recent output of the city for the world's cooler floors with Claude VonStroke's dirtybird label making the loudest noise. But scroll back four years to 2003 and one of dirtybird's soon-to-be founder members was being signed to Ben Watt's Buzzin' Fly label in London. His name is Justin Martin. Recording, DJing and remixing regularly for Buzzin' Fly, as well as for dirtybird he has developed a unique sweet 'n' ugly style that is one part brutal tech-funk, one part joyous, goofy beauty. The past six months have seen his star in the ascendance, and following his recent clutch of hotly received tracks ('The Fugitive' and 'The Water Song' on Buzzin' Fly, 'Stoopit' on dirtybird, and his 'Vesuvious' remix for Freerange) The time has come to deliver his debut mix compilation, and what better setting then the dark halls of the newly renovated Love, one of new york's premier venues for deep and dirty dancefloor music. It is time to applaud a new talent. Dirty, likeable and brutally funky, this is chaos restored thanks to Justin Martin.
