Crank up the computer and Google "the Martinez Brothers," and you'll be directed to chatrooms containing comments like "Oh my god, can these two fucking rock the house" and "They can mix their asses off"—not to mention postings along the lines of "They are the cutest ever." Such accolades would be impressive for any DJ, considering the backbiting that is the norm in the online dance-music community, but when you realize that the subjects of those notices, Steve and Chris Martinez, are still in their teens, it's remarkable. And considering that the Bronx-born and -raised sibs are working in the world of traditional, NYC-style soulful house—a scene generally populated by relative graybeards—it's downright mind-boggling.

Within the last year, the duo has been rising through the ranks by rocking some of NYC's top house shindigs, including Pacha,Club Shelter (a soiree that was born the same year as the 15-year-old Chris), Danny Krivit's 718 Sessions and Cielo.During days off and school holidays they're also managing to squeeze in forthcoming dates in Spain, MTV parties in Italy, a week long tour of Portugal, Respect Is Burning in Paris and more to be announced.

Supporter #1 of the TMB mission is Dennis Ferrer, whose Objektivity label provides the outlet for their productions.Ferrer currently has them studying the A's and B's of engineering and production and their debut production "My Rendition" which is more n the techie side of things dropped heavy on Objektivity last December.They plan on keeping their palette of musical references as open as possible though and plan on recording a vocal record next.

The other man who has been showing the love is old pro Danny Krivit who recently invited them to play at his hugely successful NYC shindig 718 Sessions at Club Deep in NYC. "I feel like they're touching upon all the history this music has, as opposed to most kids, who are just into this momentary, what's-happening-now kind of thing," he says. "For them to grasp on to such a wide variety of music at their age is quite unique—and I think it bodes well for this scene's future."

Long live TMB and the future of New York house music!
