Studio Martin

The immovable bedrock of Romania's underground scene, Studio Martin's techno heritage extends far beyond the point when minimal dilettantes starting waxing lyrical about Raresh, Rhadoo and Pedro. Opening in 1993 and championing quality techno ever since, this former cinema was the place where DJs like Laurent Garnier, Derrick May and Jeff Mills played their first Romanian gigs, while James Lavelle recorded his 'Romania' instalment to the Global Underground series here. And despite other clubs joining the Romanian party, Studio Martin still has both history and heritage on its side - Cocoon, M-Nus, Cécille, Kompakt and Bpitch Control all host semi-regular showcases here.
