About Me

I make music, dj and play live. I also cycle, go fly fishing and leave the toilet seat up.

Click Here to listen to a great deep and soulfull house mix I did for a night called *the social way back in 2002. Girls and guys with taste sure like this one.

Click Here to listen to an all original live set I did for a tech-house/techno show in 2007. It's really greasy. I don't have any of those neat moist towelettes handy, sorry.

Here is some english woven by the talented Donte Parks.

Seattle's Mat Anderson is a house music producer and DJ whose profile is still on the rise. His productions and DJ sets carry enough thump to get even the most discerning dance floors moving, while still managing to communicate his quirky sense of humor and fun-loving attitude. With every release or outing, Mat manages to capture a new legion of fans. Mat Anderson's electronic music education started with the mid-90sNorthwest rave scene, which quickly grew to dominate his attention and weekends. This was further bolstered by the community he found there and online, with the .mod/tracker/BBS scene leading him to his first foray into production using Scream Tracker, an early multi-track digital sequencer in 1995. Mat's father had a collection of gear around the house as well that Mat would toy with, experimenting with ambient tracks that he'd later share with friends as they relaxed post-party. Despite not having turntables, Mat also began buying records around the same period, starting his collection with Red Planet's "Cosmic Movement" and Resistance D's "Echoplexing," two tracks that remain on his all-time favorites list. Mat's house music influences came from various players in the Seattle scene, such as vinylized, the Smartbeat crew, the Lish, Artificial Limb, and Eye drop. He met Jacob London in 2000, asking them to remix "Maybe Naked," produced with then partner Roger Alexander. They traveled to Europe for a month to shop the record around, ultimately selling it to UCMG-UK, who later put it out on Suburbia soon before the entire label and its many heads went under. Inspired by the DIY spirit they could in Europe, Mat and Roger started their own night called "The Social" in a downtown Seattle bar that ran for two years. While ultimately a money-losing proposition with all of its various costs, the night further solidified Mat's love for house music. Around this same period he worked at esteemed record store Beats International, Seattle's premier house music destination. In 2003, while sharing studio space with Jacob London, Mat Anderson wrote the tracks that would later form the "Flammable EP," released on Uniting Souls. The title track was an ode to the longest house music night on the West Coast, Seattle's Flammable. Not long after completion of these tracks, Mat decided to take a break from Seattle, opting to move to the country to clear his head for the better part of a year. Since his return, Mat's attention has been focused on adopting his various productions to a live set format, a move he feels will better allow him to express himself in his performances. In the future, he'd like to extend the live set format to incorporate live vocals, either those of a partner or his own. Regardless of what direction his live sets take, it's certain that Mat Anderson's personality and love for music will shine through.Mat Anderson's latest release is his contribution to Blacksoul's upcoming "Original Sinner" on Deepfunk Records.
