Justin Martin

Justin Martin is one of the few house DJ’s that successfully bridges the gap between being commercially successful and staying true to the underground. His sound has been described as both melodic and tough, with releases ranging from the dynamic “Cicada” on Dirtybird to the slamming "Magnificent" remix for Iz and Diz on Om Records. Justin first gained international acclaim for his single, “The Sad Piano,” on Ben Watt's Buzzin' Fly label. Justin continues to develop the SF-based Dirtybird label with his friend, Claude VonStroke,..And Om Records is proud to have him on board!

Johnny Fiasco

Like German engineers craft fine automobiles, Chicago’s DJ’s pride themselves in their house music. Ripping up dance floors since the early 90’s golden era of Derrick Carter and Mark Farina, Johnny Fiasco’s now legendary Thursday nights at Shelter are held in the archives of house music history. Johnny's records are widely regarded as being some of the tightest tracks around. There's a depth, quality and complexity in his productions that make his house stand tall above the rest -- odds are that there's a Fiasco 12-inch sitting in every house aficionado's crate. Handling remix duties for Soulstice’s “Lovely” and releasing a international hit 12” on Om entitled “Things that Go Bump in the Night”, as Darth Vader would say, the force is strong with this one.
