Patafunk


Carlos Eduardo Martinez better known as Patafunk is a Venezuelan singer-songwriter, producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist. Between 2008 and 2011, Patafunk released two critically acclaimed albums: 'Dubdelic' and 'Playa', an eclectic arrangement of music that merges Latin, pop, and disco-funk. His songs topped the charts in Venezuelan radio, and outlets like Rolling Stone Latin America, Billboard Magazine, and MTV Latin America praised Patafunk for his distinctively pleasant, “ocean-like” sound. Patafunk became a household in the Venezuelan music scene, delivering multiple nationwide tours and championing his own radio show on contemporary music.
In 2010, Patafunk left his tropical coast of Caracas to take-on the international dynamism of the New York City music scene. In the years that followed, Patafunk developed into a prolific DJ and producer, releasing a series of original singles and remixing songs for the likes of The Knocks, Goldroom, Phoenix, Pat Lok, and others. As a DJ, Patafunk regularly plays throughout NYC and has held residencies at NYC staples such as Ophelia, Buddakan, Zuma, Soho House, Cafe Noir, Le Bain, and Hotel Hugo; while his tropical, global sound has enlivened audiences at shows and festivals around the world, including SXSW, Tribeca Film Festival, CMJ, and Miami Art Basel.
In 2017, Patafunk co-founded Greenpoint Records with his friend and co-producer, NY Native, DJ Zev.
Patafunk’s latest creation, the album High Life!, fuses his Latin-reggae roots with the best of New York's multicultural ethos, and is set to release in summer 2020.
