Christian Martin

While many have previously thought Christian Martin to be birthed from the bass within the stars, the Trippy Ass Technologies label boss was immersed in music from a very early age. Beginning his musical journey with classical piano at age five, then advancing to jazz theory, he eventually became involved in bands throughout high school and his formative years during which he found his particular love for loud systems while bumping tunes in big car stereos. In 1995, Christian discovered electronic music and sound system culture after attending an event by SoCal’s legendary Moontribe collective; standing in front of massive speaker stacks could only be described as “ear-opening.” Fast forward 8 years in front of giant sound systems from New York to London to Detroit, Christian would act as the catalyst to what we now know as the Dirtybird BBQ. With the swipe of a credit card, he bought the original Dirtybird sound system. Christian’s intense love for music vibrates through the speakers, floors, and walls at every event he plays. His sixth sense for what makes the dancefloor tick, Jedi-like DJ mastery, and connection with the crowd are what make his sets unique and capable of healing. His sound can only be described as “Music that captures fleeting emotions.”
