Podcast 116: Martin Kemp

• Words: Shawn Reynaldo

Given that Martin Kemp has Brackles for an older brother, the fresh-faced London DJ and producer certainly has some big shoes to fill. Kemp's discography may be short, but he's certainly been impressive out of the gate with his first few tracks and remixes, most of which haven't even been given a proper release yet. Since his big bro turned in a stellar podcast last summer, it's only fair that we also give the younger Kemp brother a turn at the wheel. Loaded with high-quality tunes—many of which are forthcoming or entirely unreleased—the mix occupies that unique space where garage, 2-step, funky, and house bubble together in a uniquely potent brew. Let's just hope it doesn't spark a vicious rivalry in the Kemp household this holiday season.
