That was a quick resume on Pete please carry on reading if you so desire. Also check out his dicography on the left.

Pete Martine began his path into DJing at the age of thirteen, seamlessly mixing records long before many of today’s DJs had touched a set of decks.

His first residency was at the infamous Part II club in Nottingham, voted Europe’s most prestigious club three years in a row. His blend of early 80’s Disco and Hi-NRG soon gave him a reputation as one of the UK’s leading Dance DJs. Customers and friends included the late Tony de Vit, who himself had recently embarked on a DJing career, playing a similar blend of tunes.

Pete was headhunted to front what can best be described as the UK’s first super-club, the 2000 capacity Nottingham Astoria. Playing 6 hour sets on 4 decks to a buzzing audience most of whom had until then never experienced a mixed in set. Headlining at this venue led to Pete being asked to mix the top 20 album, ”“The Best of Hi-NRG, the first of his many chart credits.

Pete moved on to become the resident DJ at Nottingham’s "The Club" which later became Venus. As always his trend-setting ways made him one of the first to play such Chicago house classics as, “Love Can’t Turn Around”, along with imported vocal house, truly the start of the UK’s most famous funky dance scene, with fellow DJ’s Graham Park and Alister Whitehead amongst the crowd.

In a chance meeting with American chanteuse Vicki Shepard who’s US Number One “Somewhere” became a huge UK dance hit, prompted Pete to take his first steps into artist management and record production. He became known as “The Man With The Divas”, involving himself with Vicki, ex-weather girl Jeanie Tracy and Carol Leeming negotiating her deal which led to the worldwide hit “Joy”.

Gaining his reputation within the industry he was approached by the then unknown Paul Masterson and the two were soon collaborating in the studio. Paul’s articulate technical skills married to Pete’s knowledge of cutting-edge dance music led to a catalogue of credible tunes. The duos chart hits include “Sex” featuring Vicki Shepard, and the notorious Ibiza anthem “Lets Whip It Up” (You Go Girl). This became a worldwide dance best-seller, featuring on eight Ibiza compilations including Brandon Block and Alex P’s Clockwork Orange, and to this day remains a club classic. The guys then followed their success with another worldwide chart topper “Work It Up and Wear It Out” with BMG Records, which led to Peter touring Australia and the USA.

Paul moved on to become Yomanda, whilst Peter continued as “The Sleazesisters”, now with fellow DJ and London’s Heaven resident Porl Young. A string of world-wide chart remixes and productions followed, including such massive tunes as Samantha Mumba’s “Gotta Tell U”, Steps’ “Deeper Shade of Blue” and Anastacia’s “I’m Outta Love” turning commercial chart records into storming dance-floor anthems. On many occasions their mixes are preferred to the original versions and are performed at many of the artist's live concert dates.

Peter has never turned his back ..ting edge dance and has recently astounded the clubbing fraternity under the cool and credible title "The Starlet DJs". His massive funky house club hit "Can’t Stop Dancin" has received a staggering fourteen plays from Radio Ones’ Judge Jules as well as plays from Pete Tong and Dave Pearce alongside countless other radio shows.

Sleazesisters' are making a comeback too. The remix of Infernal’s single "I Won't Be Crying When I'm Lonely" and Scoochs' Eurovision Entry ''Flying The Flag'' have recently been compared with some of Pete's finest work along with a remix for sensational new boy band ‘Billiam’ who scored a September top 40 hit with “Beautiful Ones”. Pete has now teamed up with fellow producer J.Saint James the first collaboration being the new Starlet Djs' single 'Happy' and two tracks with disco legend 'Viola Wills' called ''Feel You Feelin Me'' and ''Let Me Rock Your Soul''. ‘Norma Lewis’ features on a storming U.S. house track “Lock The Door”.
