UNDERGROUND PRESENTS; MARTELO (FREE ENTRY)

After a killer party with MJ Cole last month that saw Superfly jam packed to the rafters, it’s time once again for another pioneer of British music to grace our decks, this time though for a special extravaganza that see’s some of the cities biggest names join forces to celebrate the festive season in style!

Like most people that move around a lot as a child, Martelo sees the world with wide eyes and takes influence from all aspects of life. Growing up on Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Paul Simon, his teenage years saw him delve into everything from punk and grunge to drum ‘n’ bass, garage and hip hop; an eclectic array of music that has no doubt had an influence on his music taste and DJ/production style.

“I guess I play world music, but not the snobby stuff. Hood music from the global underground.. from the favelas to the projects to the tower blocks”

In the years since then he has become known as part of the yOyO family who consistently blow the roof off any party they throw, with Martelo being an ever-present on these memorable occasions.

He has been the International Tour DJ for Santigold since 2007, as recommended by Diplo, and has played festivals all over the planet from Coachella (LA) to Summersonic (Japan) to Field Day (Aus) right back to Glastonbury (England). Last year alone he was asked to open up for Jay-Z twice and was said to be a major highlight at 2009′s Exit fetsival in Serbia. He is also part of “The End Of The World” with Toddla T and Oneman.

So join The Interlude, Superfly, Underground, DBE and Wellgosh for a very special festive celebration and night of the best free music from across the UK Underground scene.
