Industry veteran Paolo Martini is next to join the Emerald City family with Red Rocks. Bringing the funk, he delivers a solid two track release with irresistible groove and dancefloor heat.

‘I wanted to give these tracks a funky, disco feel, so I searched deep in my vinyl collection. I started by working minutely on a couples of samples and from that point onwards the construction of the tracks took place in a completely natural way. I tried to fit the rhythmic sections in the right places to transfer people back to the magical mood of that era.’

Paolo Martini has been in the business for over 30 years, first releasing with Gianni Bini on various labels such as Defected, Strictly Rhythm, Universal, Azuli and Nervous. They soon established their own label Ocean Trax and handled remixes of Kylie Minogue and Jamiroquai. Paolo has also been testimonial for several clothing brands including Diesel and Adidas and also the Rane MP2015 mixer. His following co-productions can be found on acclaimed labels such as Hot Creations, Snatch!, Moon Harbour, 8Bit, Saved and Cecille amongst many others. 2017 starts the beginning of a new adventure with a string of releases geared up under his new solo project.
