The artwork for Louie Vega and The Martinez Brothers’ new collaboration “Let It Go” shows a young couple locked in embrace, inches away from an inevitable kiss. An arrow-stricken heart hovers under the white glow of the streetlight as the cityscape behind them comes to life. Bright colors like sky blue, crimson and marigold dominate the color scheme, but it’s more than a design meant simply to catch the eye.
In some ways, Vega and the Martinez Brothers could be the same people. Vega, Chris and Steve were all born in the Bronx, Nuyoricans and proud of it. They had family members who frequented the legendary Paradise Garage, and all were already DJing to hot crowds as teenagers. But whereas Vega helped pioneer New York house music in the ‘90s, both solo and alongside Kenny “Dope” Gonzales as Masters At Work, the Martinezes were its disciples.
Similarly, “Let It Go” represents “what New York is about, past and present,” say the Brothers. “Visually, just being from the inner city and basically living amongst graffiti; it has always been a mega influence on us.” Percussive and soulful house music with just a hint of grit, the track is the perfect composite of both Vega and the Brothers’ styles. At its heart are hypnotic, seductive vocals from San Francisco-based singer Marc E. Bassy.
