Poli ( Austin Matkin ) came to earth in Memphis Tennessee, home of the blues and soul. With twelve years old and the large amounts of watching MTV (When it still showed Music videos), his first wish for a guitar was granted. Because of idols like Jimmy Hendrix, he became a member of a rock and roll band at the raw age of fourteen.
With 16 years of age he crossed the Atlantic to visit his brother Riktam (GMS) in Amsterdam. At the time there was small a bunch of Growling Members making primary forays into Dj-ism and production. A year later he went to the 1994 VooV. This was his first experience of proper Goa party and there was nothing else like it at the time. Having seen something like this made a tremendous impact on him.
He then stayed in Holland and started collecting music. He moved to the Elf, a small community of artists that had a venue where he regularly spun due to popular demand. From there, he went on to the Milkweed and has since played all over over the world, notably, Brazils 2000 Transcendence, Japans Solstice and across the US club scene from N.Y. to L.A. In that time he moved to the old growly "Boat" in Amsterdam and then later to Ibiza. It is there that he began working in the Tri-ball studio on his first album called “Electric Wonders†being released on Spun Records and has now come to fruition and will hit the shelves this summer!
