Justin Martin takes flight
Dirtybird DJ migrates for 'Ghettos & Gardens' Tour
Hailing from the nest of Dirtybird, Claude VonStroke's idiosyncratic label in the innovative atmosphere of San Francisco, Justin Martin has made us wait for his debut album - he was talking to us about it when we put him on the cover of DJ Mag around 18 months ago – but 'Ghettos & Gardens' delivers in full.
Packed with industrial bass and delicate melodies to resonate with the contrast implied in its title, it's a unique sound that could only have come from the mind of Justin, and includes his long-awaited re-edit of Goldie's drum and bass classic 'Kemistry', as well as last single 'Don't Go'.
