DJ Martini

// Biography //
Martin Liska is the founder and owner of JZD Promotion, which specialises in parties, promotions and bookings. He has been actively involved in the music industry since he was 15 years old as a member of different regional metal, rock and punk bands mainly playing guitar, but also singing and songwriting. Dance music captured his attention in the early 90s thanks to bands like the Prodigy, Chemical Brothers etc. In 1996 he visited one of the famous free parties in Hostomice (nowadays known as Czechtek) which left him with a great enthusiasm of introducing dance music to people in his home ground - Valachian region and beyond. Together with his friend he started organizing first local parties which are not musically specified but mixes of different dance music styles and the attendance was promising.
After difficult attempts to discover the secrets of computer music which did not satisfy him in terms of sound, in about 2002 he converted into the traditional vinyl mixing. Surprisingly he found a big potential for diversity in mixing vinyl. Firstly performing as Mafoks he specialised in Tekno. Later on he changed his DJ name to Martini, mellowing into the world of techhouse and funky groovy techno.
He tours with his fellow JZD DJ's around clubs in Moravia and Slovakia on his regular resident night called JZDclubbing.
He has played in: Brno (Yacht Club, 7 Nebe, Perpetuum), Zlín (Bush, Golem, Bar u Sneka), Vsetín (U trí opic), Luhacovice (Bludicka, U Suchánku), Valasské Klobouky (VestiBull,KD Radost), Slavicín (Scream, Sokolovna, Ácko, Festiválek), Brumov (Olympia, Ex-club, Music Caffe), Hluk (Euro club), Jablonné nad Orlicí (club Galaxy), Chropyne (club Mix), Lidecko (Racné), Povazska Bystrica/SK (Planet Music club), Púchov/SK (Shaka, Ropucha), Trencín/SK (Krankenhaus).
