One of the first artists to join Claude Von-Stroke’s iconic San Francisco electronic music label Dirtybird Records, Christian Martin is known for his danceable yet off-kilter take on house music. The co-founder of the Dirtybird BBQ now has a label of his own, Trippy Ass Technologies. In addition to funneling a variety of genres into his globetrotting mixes, Martin produces his own music. His latest EP features two tracks. “The Clapper” is a funky, bubbling laid-back groove, while “Athena’s Lullaby” is spacier affair, dedicated to his daughter, Athena, whose second birthday on June 26 also marks the EP’s release.
