The Night Shift offers the massive return of Justin Martin on November 22nd, making his first Pittsburgh appearance in 4 years! From feeding off the San Francisco underground and being intrinsically involved with the development of Dirtybird records, to creating his own label 'What To Do' in 2020, Justin is still at the top of his game, constantly releasing new and unique music ranging from House, UKG, and Drum & Bass. Justin Martin was one of our biggest events of the past 5 years so don't miss this long-awaited homecoming in an intimate club setting.

Getting the party jumping will be Rave Mustaine making his Longturn debut and Senseishun returning to the Cobra booth. This is going to be a can't miss party before Thanksgiving break so lock in your spot before it's too late.

Consider this your standing invite. Clock into the weekend: Cobra Lounge, every Saturday.

Justin Martin | What To Do | San Francisco

As the late Oscar Wilde once said: “life is too important to be taken seriously”, an ethos that Justin Martin is sticking with despite achieving soaring success over the last six years as a producer and international DJ. Justin initially pricked the ears of the electronic music community in 2003 with his first record ‘The Sad Piano’ on Ben Watt’s Buzzin’ Fly label.  

Feeding off the energy of the San Francisco underground, Justin was intrinsically involved with the development of Dirtybird records, appearing on its first four releases. Justin was soon ready to take flight, releasing a string of solo EPs that flaunted a very unique sound and garnered further respect among fellow DJs and heavyweights of the scene. 

Music journalists typically describe Justin’s sound as ‘melodic and tough’ with his music encapsulating both melody and emotional depth yet always with enough undeniable ass-shaking properties to translate to the floor. 

“I’m always trying to find music for my DJ sets that rattles sound systems, but still has enough melody and interesting texture to expand your mind even if you’re sitting at home on a snowy or rainy day.” 

Last year, Justin released his extremely well-received remixes for Rüfüs Du Sol and Ultraísta, as well as a collaborative project with fellow producer Ardalan, which was put out on his brother Christian Martin’s label, Trippy Ass Technologies. 

In 2020, Justin launched his new label ‘What To Do…’, kicking things off with his first single ‘Needs’. The label will focus on his distinctive sound and include special collaborative works. With these upcoming releases, there will be no holding back. Justin launched his new project with the intention of diving deeper creatively and pushing the limits of his sound. To everyone who is curious about what’s to come, “expect music with emotional depth combined with raw dancefloor grit.”

In the era when America's Rust Belt got its name, factory workers labored on a 12-hour day or night shift for two weeks straight. To switch shifts, one group would have to work 24-hours straight and cover the labor gap. This grueling shift became known as the Longturn.

Longturn music was founded to give people with day jobs a space to spend their second shift. No bottle service, no passwords, just a dance floor filled with good people and good music.

Come early, stay late, dance hard ⚒️
