🚨 HAPPY NEW YEAR, HAPPY NEW SHOW! 🚨

The first show of 2025, and I've put a few New Year's resolutions in action, including keeping things nice and simple and posting my shows just on my DJ profile rather than a separate radio show one - and here it is!

Rather than make you wait, I've also just posted the show now when it's ready -- again, just keeping it simple and natural ☺️

This one was fun to record because we're starting off high-vibe with a retrospective of 2024 and some of the best tracks we've enjoyed together 😀 - find the full tracklist at djmartingale.com/tracklistings -349

Normally you’re treated to action shots where I’ve tried to prop the phone up somewhere and tried not to burn 🤣🙈

I recorded the warm up of my live set last night where instead of my usual soulful and latin house intro, I played a few of my favourite ‘80s/‘90s-ish soul jams.

It's as-recorded, and may be rough around the edges but I enjoyed it so be kind 😉

The first hour and twenty minutes of my live set at Rita's where instead of my usual soulful and latin house warm up, I played a few of my favourite '80s/'90s/'00s-era soul jams. It's as-recorded, and may be rough around the edges but I enjoyed it and wanted to keep it, so be kind 😉

About me

I love music. It’s my passion. It’s my happy place. It’s what I think about when I daydream.

It feels like being a DJ was always my destiny from when I was boy. From chopping up cassette recordings from the chart rundown with my dad on a Sunday to the life’s work that is my music collection, I always felt this was where I’d end up somehow. And here I am, coming into my 25th year as a DJ.

My fascination with the art began aged around 7 or 8 when I would avidly watch every move of the mobile DJs at our local social club. This addiction to the DJ’s craft developed over the years through being mesmerised by the scratch artistry of DJ Hype to admiring the production brilliance of people like Masters at Work. A common thread in all my heroes has been a combination of their professionalism, attention to detail and most importantly that ability to take people on a journey through their music. It’s these traits that I’ve always tried to incorporate in what I do whether it’s when I go out to play or on my radio show.

I’ve spanned a few genres over the years. I learned to mix in the earlier days of hardcore, modelling myself on people like Slipmatt and Carl Cox, before progressing into house music and the smoother more refined sounds of the likes of David Morales, Erick Morillo and Louie Vega. I’m not a music snob however and I do enjoy also a good blast of some “guilty pleasures” at a party every now and again. This goes right back to my original fascination with the fundamental art of the DJ as an entertainer and all round people-pleaser.
