Premiere: Justin Martin unleashes the jungle on his brother's 'Elephant Fight'

Embodying the spirit of Anabatic Records

Bringing Justin and Christian Martin together on a track is a brotherly match made in heaven, and this latest premiere is a testament to that fact.

In celebration of Anabatic Records, the West Coast rooted "future bass and booty house" label which is celebrating its big 10 year anniversary, a compilation has been pulled together by label head Worthy, an original member of the Dirtybird crew.

"It is hard for me to imagine that Anabatic is 10 years old," Worthy says. "When I started the label as a way for me to explore and release my own music, I never thought I would be doing it for a decade and had the opportunity to give so many musicians a place to release and explore their own sounds. Having released so much music over the years, it was hard to select which tracks to put on this compilation, but I think the selections really speak to the journey of the label."

No surprise, the compilation is an energetic collection of good vibes and big names, and a standout of the 20 track record is 'Elephant Fight', a quirky original from Christian Martin. Now in the hands of Justin, the circus-influenced tune receives a pulsing jungle-infused update and a truly unique dance floor hitter.

The compilation is out February 10 on Anabatic, but in the meantime, listen to the tune below.
