Pimp My ProfileMatt started hi trade whilst working for Manumission in Ibiza back in 95’. After blagging his way onto the decks at Space and pulling off a reasonably good set, he realised that Djing was in his blood.
He secured some bar residencies in the UK in the winter of 95’/96’, then planned his Ibiza assault. His first residency was at Kanya, Ibiza, under the name of Matt P. This famed “day time session†bar was a popular hang out for the Islands promoters and other DJ’s. This is where he practised his talents as a “slightly crazy†dj and nurtured his Funky, sexy music style.
He was then hired by Sundissential to stand in for Alistair Whitehead after he missed his plane. Matt also warmed up for Sasha at Pacha, one of his most memorable gigs.
Moneypenny's then took Matt under their wing as a regular in the back room and then onto the main room. Warming up for the likes of John Kelly, Norman Jay, Lord G, Eric Morillo and Jeremy Healy in 97’ and 98’.
Both Submission and Decadence had Matt playing regularly at the nights held at Ibiza’s glamorous club, El Divino in 98’. He also was a regular on the Amnesia terrace for Gatecrasher and the local Spanish nights. He also got fired from a few for stupid behaviour... not much has changed. He played for Charlie Chester in both Ibiza for Mezzanine and back in the Uk before touring in South Africa in 1999.
After several SA tours, some with Decadences Rob James (no relation) he was offered a residency at the Infamous star/celeb super club, Rhodes House in Cape Town in 2001. It is from here he forged a reputable name, playing almost every single club in the country as well as all the major UK Club tours that visited. Miss MoneyPenny's, Ministry of Sound, The Judge Jules weekend and the Official Jamiroquai Concert after party with Smokin Jo. He was also resident at Cape Towns famous LAB Bar. Matt took the bar to new highs in 2002 making it Cape Towns most popular and busiest funky house venue.
He then started doing regular slots on South Africa’s second biggest radio stations Good Hope FM where his wacky humour and mental behaviour earned him local fame and a place in the Capetonian history books.
Matt is back in the UK playing alongside his chum Jeremy Healy at events across the country, including Fakin The Funk in Birmingham and Plymouth.
% He is also touring with LOVE with numerous events in Poland, Berlin, Hamburg, Helsinki, and Miami next year(2007). Sorry to Billy Ray Martin, who he should have been in Hamburg with but due due yet ANOTHER broken leg in Ibiza, it never happened......shame
