About Me

Matt Clarke has been djing for over 13 years and been at the very fore front of the Drum n Bass movement in Detroit. For over 5 years he was the DnB buyer at various record shops (Record Time (Roseville), Melodies, Hear Wax)and has continually pushed the music through his unique Dj sets. His style of quickly layering sounds and double dropping tracks have always set him apart from the rest of the pack. Blessed with the name "Razorsharp" from the local emcees, he never disappoints while playing a variation of styles. "I play music that I think people should hear, not necessaily what they want to hear". Matt is taking part in the Movement festival for the 5th time this year, something that only a select breed of artists have been able to partake in. *Past and current affiliations* Subculture, Substance, Frequency Detroit, Detroit Bachelor Djs, Syst3m, Analogue Systems, Detroit Jungle Society, 33 1/3, Bordercity, Breakbeat Etiquette, Blacklisted, Cave Dj's, *Ex-residency's Motor, Clutch, Carbon, Necto, Alvins, Bird of Paradise (Jazz Bar)
