The Martinez Brothers get ready for their new nightlife venture, Mad Beats & Crazy Styles. When we first started going all googly-eyed over the Martinez Brothers in 2006, the siblings were the young bucks of the deejaying world. And when we say young, we mean really young: Steve was 18, and Chris was freakin’ 15. Nowadays, not only are the pair old enough to legally join the party at the clubs they play at, but those clubs are bigger and better than ever—TMB, as they’re known, are international superstars of the first order, packing dance floors and festivals around the globe. But you can’t keep the Bronx bros away from their hometown for long, and on Saturday, March 16, the pair are unveiling their new venture: Mad Beats & Crazy Styles, a new series of soirees tossed in conjunction with the fine folks at ReSolute. The opening bash will feature sets from DJ Qu, Filsonik and, of course, TMB themselves; to warm you up, here’s a scrumptious new set of the duo’s deep and driving rhythms. Mad Beats & Crazy Styles: The Martinez Brothers + DJ Qu + Filsonik is on Saturday, March 16.

House hero Kerri Chandler spins a rare Gotham set at Cielo. Not many deep-house producers have a sound as distinct as New Jersey’s Kerri Chandler; his muscular basslines, dopamine-activating chord progressions and, most of all, badass kick drums stand out in a genre that can sometimes seem a bit monotone. He’s been working his unique style since the late ’80s, but Chandler’s star is as bright as ever, as evidenced by his constant gigging in Europe’s clubs and festivals, including a residency at Ibiza’s famed Circoloco party. He rarely spins in NYC anymore—but on Thursday, February 28, the venerable Nervous label has snagged the dance-music icon for an intimate session at Cielo.

How much influence did [seminal Newark club] Zanzibar and its resident, Tony Humphries, have on your development?Kerri Chandler: Oh, lots. We were all going there when we were teenagers…younger than that, even. It had a huge influence. I was already deejaying, playing at this place around the corner called Club America, and we would run over to Zanzibar when my club was done for the night. The same guy owned both clubs. We would get there around 11 o’clock in the morning, listen to Tony until he was done, and then finally head home.Time Out New York: You started releasing music not long after that time, in 1989—and even on your debut release, the Super Lover EP, the Kerri Chandler sound was pretty

The evolution of the talented FaltyDL's sound continues with the release of a new album. In the late aughts, Drew Lustman, better known as FaltyDL, came to the electronic-music world’s attention via a series of intricately crafted, jungle-tinged IDM EPs. But his latest album, the beautiful Hardcourage—which sees him moving from the Planet Mu label to the venerable Ninja Tune—repositions Lustman as a creator of deep, sumptuous and emotionally engaging gems. He’ll be celebrating the LP’s release with a gig at Mister Saturday Night on Saturday 26.Does the name of the new album have any particular significance? In the past year and a half or so, while I was making the album, I was also deciding what label to release it on, as well as getting into a new relationship and moving to a new apartment. You know, the kind of life stuff that happens to all of us. But at one point, I was like, Fuck it—I’ll just give this album to Planet Mu, I won’t change apartments…I’ll try not to challenge myself with anything. It took a lot of courage to go through with everything. Hadn’t you also released a track called “Hardcourage” just prior to the album coming out? Yeah, it’s a little bit confusing, I guess. That one is not on the album. I think that, at the time, I simply liked the way that word sounded. But began to realize that it meant a little bit more to me than just the name of a track, so here it is: Hardcourage.I was going to ask you about the label change. Was there any particular reason

Despite the bone-chilling weather, the amazing wintertime electronic-music shindig Igloofest packs in Montreal's party people. TONY had the good fortune of attending the second weekend of Montreal’s ongoing Igloofest, a monthlong electronic-music hoedown held outdoors on a pier along the Saint Lawrence River. Just how crazy is it to toss an outdoor festival in Montreal in the middle of winter? Here’s how crazy: On our first fest night, the temperature was 14 degrees below zero. And that’s Fahrenheit! Luckily, the music played by the fabulous lineup, which included Germany’s Ellen Allien and Pan-Pot, France’s Miss Kittin and Siberia’s Nina Kraviz (who probably thinks of 14 below as a steam bath), was hot enough to keep the frostbite away. If you hurry, there’s still time to catch the shindig’s final (and with any luck, less frigid) weekend, with sets coming courtesy of Joy Orbison, Ben UFO, Chris Liebing, a slew of their fellow international superstars and a crew of very cool locals. Igloofest’s final weekend runs from Thursday, February 7 through Saturday, February 9.
