About Me


DJ Gary Matthews
..Ever since the mid 90’s, Gary Matthews has found himself inspired by the pounding rhythm of electronic music. Early on, by trance music and DJ's such as Johnny Vicious & Tiesto. Later on he was introduced to the deep dark percussion of House Music by NYC legendary DJ Danny Tenaglia. Making frequent trips to NYC's most famous clubs and watching these DJ's work in the booth inspired Gary to buy some equipment and start mixing this new found love called House. Quickly he was being booked for gigs at local clubs, bars & lounges around NJ & NY, as well as radio guest spots. Gary considers his sound eclectic and tries to make it sound original. He doesn’t want to be stuck in any one genre of House music, but instead embraces all genres and plays what he feels. Its all about the mood. Sometimes he wants to be dark and dirty. Sometimes he wants to be deep and soulful. But the main goal is to entertain and keep the party going.

In the beginning, there was Jack, And Jack had a groove, And from this groove came the grooves of all grooves. And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldly declared, Let There Be House!, And House Muzik was born. I am you see, I am the creator, and this is my House, And in my House there is only House Muzik. But I am not so selfish, Because once you enter my House, It then becomes our House, And our House Muzik!! And you see, No one then owns House, Because House music is a universal language, Spoken and understood by all. You see, House is a feeling, That no one can understand really, Unless you're deep into the vibe of House. House is an uncontrollable desire to jack your body, And as I told you before, This is our House And our House Muzik! And in every House, you'll understand, There is a keeper, And in this House the keeper is Jack. Now, some of you might wonder, Who is Jack and what is it that Jack does. Jack is the one who gives you the power to jack your body. Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake. Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly worm. Jack is the one who learns you how to rock your body. Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all jackers together under one House. You may be black, You may be white, You may be Jew or Gentile, It don't make a difference in our House. And this is fresh! "The DJ is not your personal jukebox. Nor would you want him to be. Would you go to your surgeon, while he's giving you stitches in the face, and go ,"Hey, do you have number 3 sinew instead of number 6? I sure love that number 3 sinew." No. Why? Because a surgeon knows what he's doing. So does the DJ. If you're able to get out of your "programmed by clear channel" force-fed crap music, and just LISTEN to what the DJ is blending, building, and releasing, you'll be in for a great night of new music that you've never heard, presented lovingly for you. If you go up and request a song that you've already heard, you've completely missed the point. Let the music change you. Don't change the music."
