Martin Valentine
Martin has been servicing some of the best and reputable bars and clubs in Edinburgh for over a quarter of a century, with his blend of funk, soul, disco, house & all genres in between. “Djing in a bar and/or restaurant is something I’ve always enjoyed, there’s a real skill to it as you can frequently have a very diverse audience” This is where his experience and flexibility doing large events & clubs come into the mix, not least his several appearances DJ’ing at SSW, EH1 & T in the Park under his belt.
Being a large black music lover is evident, as his set can move from the soaring soul into lounge disco before ending in classic house territory. Current residencies include Damm 27, OX, The Newsroom, Montpeliers & Rabble. “The beautiful thing of this ever-evolving scene is the new music that continually comes to the fold – there’s no end to it & that in itself is a massive inspiration to me”.
