About AlejandroMartinez /
Alejandro Martinez, aka Alex M always had a deep passion for music since a very early age. At 11 years of age he was already listening to industrial, metal and hip-hop groups like Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Metallica, Slayer and A Tribe Called Quest. He started attending illegal raves and warehouse parties in 1996 at age 14 and soon found himself being captivated by the brilliant sounds of Global Communication, Aphex Twin, Underworld, Coldcut and Future Sound of London to name a few.
He got his first taste of vinyl in 1998 when his room mate at the time purchased a pair of Technics-1200’s and started hosting after parties at their apartment - playing everything from progressive house, drum & bass, trance, deep house, and techno. After turning 21 he then started frequenting New York City nightclubs such as Crobar, Spirit, Cielo, Sullivan Room and the Arc where DJs such as Danny Howells, Danny Tenaglia and Sander Kleinenberg would play their infamous marathon sets.
After making the decision to relocate to Denver, Colorado in March of 2009 and furthering his DJ career, he has been booked to play in various venues such as Club Rich's (Houston, TX) DEFCON 18 (Las Vegas, NV) and a string of Denver clubs and lounges like the Beatport Lounge (located inside of the world-famous Beta Nightclub), Mynt, Blue Ice, Minibar, and Funky Buddha, where legendary DJ Lee Burridge had a short-lived residency in 2006. Alex's unique and unorthodox mixing style allows him to fuse different genres together in a set flawlessly and has displayed these skills every time in his radio shows and live performances.
Alex also held a weekly residency on Stream-FM (Bulgaria) where he had special guest DJs such as Chris Fortier (Fade Records), Dave Robertson (Reset Robot) and Anil Chawla (Global Underground UK). He has also received radio airplay from Danceradio.gr (Greece) and has been a guest DJ on Proton Radio and Frisky Radio many times. His sets have also reached DJMix.net's "top mixes" on various occasions and was given the opportunity to mix progcast 091 for Progressivehouse.com. Alex has been featured on DJ Korruptor's (Gareth Noyce) wildly popular RK2 podcast which is based in the UK and showcases some of the best up and coming DJs from around the world. He also holds a weekly residency on Innervisions Radio UK, which features DJs and producers such as Robert Babicz, Jody Wisternoff and Anthony Pappa.
