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.
