A native of Seattle, Washington, his sound is a fusion of EDM and disco, and the artist is taking the music industry by storm.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Rob Martini &amp; Friends Vol 1&#8217; took Martini two years to complete, but it&#8217;s certainly worth it. The 17 track long player, which includes two remixes, was recorded and produced by Rob in collaboration with some close producer friends. The sound harks back to the music of the 70s and 80s, and at times is reminiscent of The KLF (especially track 3, &#8216;My House&#8217;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The artist has built up a  reputation around Seattle, where he has been a DJ for 22 years. Additionally he has been producing and remixing music for the past 15 years. Additionally he is the Drive @5 DJ for radio station C895, and through this connection he was able to not only share his video content on their website and social media, but to also have his songs put in rotation on the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Rob Martini is signed to four record labels across the world, comprising Viva Records, and Global Dance Records, both in Seattle, Nova Records, in New York, and Jukebox Records, in the UK. If that wasn&#8217;t enough, he set up MMR (MartiniMusicRecordings) in 2020, in order to showcase his production\/producer skills, as well as talented artists from the PNW. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">You can stream and download &#8216;Rob Martini &amp; Friends Vol 1&#8217; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ditto.fm\/rob-martini-friends-vol-1\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, and find out more about Rob Martini and his music online on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DjMartiniMusic\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/martinimusicworldwide\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/martinimusicrecordings\" target=\"_blank\">Soundcloud<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/22RI8xBoPECKg70RPlP4zD?si=W4SR5zbyS_-7_sdUjWSBXQ\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a>, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/artist\/rob-martini\/989029868\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Rob Martini &amp; Friends, Vol. 1\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/57y7hnrY0lvRiZfVHPgYEN?si=Xjzoqr5QStS1T6QpVqdheQ&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Out now, &#8216;Rob Martini &#038; Friends Vol 1&#8217; is the new album from Rob Martini.
