Ohio's Doug Martin masquerades as Hesohi for West Coast labels such as Imperial Dub and Viva Recordings. His bass-heavy herbal house is essential listening on and off the dance floor.
Doug Martin (Hesohi) did what few other house producers are willing to do -- he took his show on the road. His live performance for Imperial Dub at San Francisco's infamous Fillmore studios blew the proverbial house down and made him a household name overnight. For Martin's prerecorded work, look to the aforementioned Imperial Dub label and Seattle's innovative Viva imprint. "Get This" and "This Too" have been provided by kind permission of the chaps at Viva. Warm bubbling basslines, natty drums, and ever-so-slightly acidic synths prevail throughout.
