The Martinez Brothers & Wakyin
The Martinez Brothers present Órbita: The Martinez Brothers will be performing a 360, in the round set Friday night at Showbox SoDo.
The Martinez Brothers: Legends in the making, Christian and Steve Martinez, known as The Martinez Brothers, are a testament to the vibrant pulse of house music. Born and raised in the rhythmic heart of The Bronx, New York, they were spinning tracks before they could even legally enter the clubs they electrified. From their father’s soulful selections of salsa, Latin jazz, and disco to holding court as residents at the world-renowned DC10 in Ibiza since 2011, they’ve ascended to the pinnacle of house music with lasting staying power. Their signature Latin-infused New York house and dynamic tech house have become a clear, irresistible call to the dance floor, evidenced by their sold-out show at London’s Drumsheds in 2024. Their global impact was further cemented with a headline appearance on Coachella’s coveted Quasar stage in the spring of 2025.
Wakyin: With strong Dominican and Puerto Rican roots, Wakyin, whose real name is Christian Rivera-Joaquin, emerged as a rhythmic maestro destined to weave the beats of his combined Latin heritage into the global tapestry of music. Christian’s journey began with his family’s Latin American background, exposing him to lively rhythms of merengue, bachata, and salsa that permeated the streets of his family’s local neighborhoods. Christian enjoys fusing genres, creating a unique signature that resonates with audiences far and wide. His ability to bridge cultures through music became a testament to the universal language that knows no boundaries, and is why his fans admire his work. With an unwavering commitment to his roots and an ever-evolving musical palette, Wakyin stands as a testament to the transformative power of music that transcends borders. (c/o Insominac)
