ABOUT GRUVHAUS THE PRODUCER:
Matt Xavier's relationship with electronic music began in New York City back in early 1993. Following his birth at NYC's infamous NASA club in Downtown Manhattan, he began street promoting for Long Island's nightclub Caffeine where he met friend and confidante Michael "Blackwatch" Thomas. Together the two formed "Island Vibe Network" and began organizing illegal warehouse events throughout New York's Tri-state area. In 1995 he organized the first European Goa-trance parties on the North American East Coast and later founded New York City's first Psy-trance event company "Tsunami Productions". He would spend 4 years as music director and resident DJ of Tsunami Productions and finally retired the psy-trance format following the 2000 millennium celebration. Eventually his soul re-acquired a taste for house music inspiring him to adopt the tech-house production moniker known as "Gruvhaus". In 2005 he and childhood friend Sean Palm founded the label known as "Railyard Recordings" who have hosted such world-renowned producers as Joel Mull, Cari Lekebusch, Alexi Delano, Adultnapper, Simon Flower and Donato Dozzy. After residing in Berlin's wild Kreuzberg district for the 2007 season, he returned to the States to begin his role as music director and resident DJ for North America's most premiere techno nightclub "Compression Los Angeles". And, his journey continues...
