Is it my brake fluid?

I had my rotors and brake pads replaced with brembo blanks and Axxis Metal Master pads on my 01 infiniti i30t, but my brakes still feel mushy like before. My car has 135000 miles on there and my last brake job was around 65000 miles. Everything looks to have been installed correctly. Could it be my brake pads, rotors or is it the old brake fluid?

Thanks for the help

Valvoline Synthetic DOT 3/4

I believe you can get it at autozone or pep boys.

Thanks, I hope bleeding the brakes will take care of it. I remember when i did my brakes around the 65000 mile mark, i replaced them with factory rotors and pads and the car stopped great. This is the first time i went aftermarket on pads and rotors, so i hope i didnt choose bad components.
