Bio:
Jon Martin has been a regular face on the New York club scene since the mid-1980's. His personality and musical taste both focus on soul and depth, the search for which led him to many sweaty nights dancing (and often working) at legendary venues like the Choice, Better Days, Red Zone, Zanzibar, Vinyl, Palladium, Tracks, Club USA and Mars - and eventually led to a variety of staff positions in these venues, in addition to the now-defunct Rampage Music and New York powerhouse King Street Sounds. He has sought out opportunities to expose the more soulful side of dance music - including Deep House, Garage Classics, and a wide variety of downtempo, experimental and other melodies from "off the beaten track".


Jon spends his days working as a web designer and creative marketing consultant for independent & underground artists and labels (including Frankie Knuckles, Kerri Chandler, Systems by Shorty, Eric Kupper, King Street Sounds and many others). Having abandoned the commercial "liquor-sales-focused" club and bar business model in search of more inspirational, independent and meaningful musical vehicles, Jon throws several private parties every year, in a continuing campaign to return the focus to the music, the sound, the people, and the energy of an amazing party. He has played venues throughout the US and Western Europe, as well as at Ageha in Tokyo, Japan - alongside such notable DJs as Victor Rosado, Danny Krivit, DJ Spinna, DJ Nori, Marley Marl, Jay-J Hernandez, Dennis Ferrer and countless others.
