CHRIS SAMBA & PABLO MARTINEZ ARE SAMBA LA CASA

Chris & Pablo joined forces as Samba La Casa back in 2000! They throw the first Samba La Casa party at Chocolate Bar, Mayfair London in March 2000 with guest DJ Chrissy T & vocalist Andrea Mendez ! This lead to a string of guest appearances at London 's finest soulful house nite Garage City at Bar Rumba! They continued to perform across the UK and graced the decks b2b at Pacha, Fabric, The End, The Cross, Turnmills, Egg, MOS to name a few!

In 2002 they where given the chance to remix Donell Jones for BMG. This was their first venture in the studio and they turned out a mix that Donell himself chose to go on the single release! It reached number 41 in the UK national Charts and led to them remixing for Angie Stone, Jocelyn Brown & Vee from Jazzy Jeff's Touch of Jazz!

Papi Chulo another remix they had completed, was then picked up by UK major Gusto, released on the single and featured on Ministry of Sounds Summer Anthems Compilation!

In 2004 they recorded their 1 st production Friday Marshmallow, it was released on Terry Hunters Vinyl Soul label and went to number 10 in the USA dance billboard chart and number 4 in the world dance chart! 2005 saw them release "I Am Soul" which featured on the infamous Bar Grooves compilation!
