One of the most successful compilation series of Tiger records is coming back for another extremely hot episode. Tiger records presents the brand new Bodygrooves compilation, this time mixed and compiled by the one and only Mekki Martin who is about to rock the big crowds with his forthcoming material. For those who dont't know him well read what he states in his soundcloud profile. Mekki Martin is a professional DJ, producer and a resident DJ in the Tabarin Club in Brno, one of the most popular Czech clubs with a 22 year old history.
The beginnings of his career go back to his "birth" as he grew up in the music club environment. He fell in love with DJing when he was just eight, gave up all sports and started to spend hours behind the mixing desk at clubs, playing hours on end as well as playing at children's parties. At fourteen he had is first public appearance as a DJ and soon after he became a resident DJ in Tabarin.
Martin's tireless hard work and creative spirit changed the club's music scene and helped place Tabarin among DJ Mag's Top 100 Clubs this year. Martin's sets are often up to twelve hours long as Tabarin opens 10pm to 10am and often even longer. He is also very involved with selecting and organizing guest DJs for the club.
In 2008 Martin's talent got noticed abroad and has been traveling since to USA, Sweden, Slovakia, Austria, Spain and especially to Ibiza, which he fell in love with.
This spring Martin performed at the WMC in Miami at the 'Welcome 2 Miami' closing party on Nikki Beach with Roger Sanchez as a headliner and other DJs such as Armand Pena, DJ Scaloni and Plastik Funk. Definitely the most exciting and inspiring experience for Martin this year.
At the end of summer Martin started organizing his own boat parties using the trademark name as for his resident nights 'House 4U'.
In 2011 Matin started cooperating with DJ Federico Scavo and in 2012 Martin started to work closely with DJs such as Maurizio Gubellini, Stefano Pain, Lissat & Voltaxx, Armand Pena, Alex Kenji, Plastik Funk, The Delayers, Manuel De La Mare, Jesse Vorn, and many others.
In 2012 he also had three successful tracks with great remixes released on top labels. 'Kiss me' Tiger Records, 'Best Mistake' Starlight Records and 'Deeper & Higher' Ego Records. 'Deeper & Higher' was remixed brilliantly by Federico Scavo
For several weeks Roger Sanchez featured the track on his regular radio and it got a lot of support from Abel Ramoz, CrazIbiza, Daddy's Grove, DJ Dan, Freemasons, Funkagenda, Fuzzy Hair, Ian Carey, Kaskade, Matisse & Sadko, Paul Oakenfold, Ralph Good, Robbie Rivera, Seamus Hajl, StoneBridge, Syke'N'Sugarstarr, Wally Lopez.
Martin continues his cooperation with Ego Records this year releasing his brand new track 'Kilimanjaro' there together with Sean Finn and Maurizio Gubellini remixes. Interestingly Maurizio Gubellini made his remix of 'Kilimanjaro' at the same time he was working on a remix for David Guetta. Kilimanjaro made it onto Ego's compilation 'I Love Ego Step 20'.
Martin's track 'The Funk' with Tom Novy remix featured on the 'Nature One Compilation', is the start of a new promising cooperation with Tom Novy and Christopher Trucher. The track was followed by a collaboration track 'Feel it' released in summer. Both tracks were released on Nouveau Niveau Records. Tom and Martin are preparing another collaboration track.
Definitely Mekki Martin is one to watch as his career, popularity and recognition grows all over the world and spread like virus!
