Deep Grooves, Sublime Music

About Me

Lychee Martini is a group that fuses dance and Latin grooves, dub ambience and beautiful melodies with a jazz sensibility.
The band’s sophisticated and inviting sound has seen them travel to Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and Malaysia to play for high fashion shows and special nightclub events. They have played for Gucci, Chanel and Frank Muller's famed 'Nocturnal Haven' parties.
Locally they have played residencies in numerous venues around Melbourne including Don’t Tell Tom, Spleen Bar, The Social Bar and The Kitten Club, as well as for art exhibitions at ACCA and Federation Square.
The Lychees are currently recording their debut album, due for release in mid 2008. The album will be a blend of live songs and remixes, and is already generating interest in the USA, UK and Europe.
Recently Lychee Martini hosted a remix competition at www.soundpunk.com, with entries coming from all over Australia, Europe and the U.S. The winning remix by renowned producer Timothy Allan is being released by Smash Bang Records on Beatport.com soon.

"Being a true lover of the groove - when I first heard Lychee Martini I knew they had something special, a group of super-talented musicians that can connect with an audience, play their instruments with effortless ease but at the same time create an atmosphere that builds and builds until you can't help but move your body to their hypnotic rhythms" - Eric Powell
