We don‘t know exactly when they called themselves Märtini Brös for the first time, but it should have been at one of their first joint club-gigs in Berlin, one of them spinning records and the other improvising on guitar, keyboard or on the mic.

But at the latest in summer ‘98 with the start of the Sundays event series "Audiopark" in the garden of Berlin‘s Suicide Club, Clé and Mike Vamp presented themselves as duo Märtini Brös. Since then they have been creating hymn-like Electro-House-tracks, benefiting from the huge musical background of their lifetime experience as DJs.

You can always hear how much fun they had producing their music, especially when it gets down to Vocoder homage. Accordingly they write lively, strong and unique songs; sometimes with a funky guitar and sometimes with an 80ies-Moroder-bass. What starts as a sparse rhythm-and-vocal-sample framework condenses down to that kind of music that hits the spot.

The first Märtini Brös 12" "Material Love EP" was released on Raw Elements in 1998, their fourth release "Saviours Of The Universe" (PFR13) in 2000 already included their first hit: "Flash" became the anthem of a whole club generation. Further single releases on Turbo (Canada) and Poker Flat / Superstar underpinned their reputation as up-and-coming artists and led to their first Longplay release in summer 2002.

With their debut album "Pläy" (Poker Flat / Turbo / Superstar) under the pillow they now slept more often in hotels than at home. They visited the entire club-equator and showed the people out there what it means to "Flash" and that they do so every weekend. Consequently everybody wanted to "Dance Like It Is OK". That video was nominated for the German Dance Awards.

Remix requests followed by Tiga, Ivan Smagghe, Mr. Brooks and Detroit Grand Pubahs, who carried the sound further around the globe. The Märtini Brös became artists of international demand.

Since their first official live show at the world premiere of the German cult-movie "Run Lola Run" where they delivered a remarkable performance, the Märtini Brös toured a couple times around the globe. On their album world tour in 2002 and 2003 alone they played all over Europe, Australia, Canada and the US. In between gigs they remixed acts like Turner, Tok Tok, Sono, Louie Austen and 2Raumwohnung. Mike Vamp became part of the Remington Allstars side-projects for danceable Electronica amongst Gebrüder Teichmann.

In late 2003 the singles "Hot" (Poker Flat, pfr34) and "Boy/Girl" (Poker Flat / Superstar) marked the end of the "Pläy "era. Märtini Brös returned to their Audiopark studio and locked themselves away until the new album was ready.

After months of studio work already the first single "Love The Machine" (pfr41) became a Clubhit. The new album underlined once more what everybody knew anyway: The Märtini Brös are definitively one of the most interesting acts and producers. There is no need to categorize their music as they always sound NOW.
