It's My Life EP by Max Martinez

Republic Music consolidates plans for underground house liberation with its second scorching offering in as many months. Brooklyn-born, Pennsylvannia-based Max Martinez, who's made a big noise on the East Coast scene with a string of steady-rocking remixes and originals for Maya Records, Aztec Tribalism, Selecta Recordings and others, comes up with a pair of aces in a deep-tribal-tech vein for his Republic debut. Meanwhile label founder Seph steps up with a rework on the flip that's as melodic as it is epic. These three sharp new tracks make up a balanced attack that will dominate sets in many formats. The It's My Life EP shows why the New York underground still leads the way when it comes to the authentic sound of house.
