About Matt Newman:
Matt Newman, known as Ian Steiner, was born in London on march 11th 1972. His interests in music were allready big when he was two years old. AT the age of 5 he moved to Switzerland with his parents. Matt started DJing when he was 12 years old on several school parties.
At the age of 20 Ian started his DJ career as DJ Stone. At this time he had no special musicstyle yet. After a few parties around Berne (Switzerland) in 1994, Ian changed his name from DJ Stone to DJ Ian S. Right in this time he knew that Housemusic was his choice. From this moment he got really busy. He used to be resident DJ at the famous Nachtwerk Club in Thun, the Area Club in Ostermundigen and Bookings on the Masters of House Series (all Switzerland) where a few of the highlights in his career. In the end of 1997 Ian almost stopped DJing because of several private changes.
In 1999 the letter S was deleted in his DJ name and he started again. Now Ian took part at the Pioneer DJ Masters and got the 7th place on the regional final, but he missed the Swiss final. In 2000/2001 he mixed some promo CDs. In this time he had some bookings on private parties.
Ian had his biggest success in 2002 when he got the 2nd place at the Stay Tuned Web Contest. During this time he was looking for a new name which matched better to the House-Scene. He changed his name from DJ Ian to Matt Newman.
In the following years he had some bookings in small locations in Switzerland, for example the Magazin-Club in Schaffhausen. From December 2005 until April 2006 he was one of the resident DJ..s at the famous Glamers Club in Dietlikon (Zurich, Switzerland). Since June Matt Newman can be seen with his friend DJ Sevenstyler as DJ Team Groove Defenders monthly at the Liquid Bar in Zurich.
