About Me

My name is Matt and l have been fascinated with music all my life. I have an interest in nearly all genres. From my earliest ages, I have always had a strong, positive feeling for electronic music. I was exposed to Nine Inch Nails when I was very young and they instantly became my favorite band, and always will be. Everything Trent Reznor releases is nothing short of outstanding. I also have always been hardcore into all of the Global Underground releases and DJs. Ambient and chill music is probably my favorite over all; especially the instrumental electronic. The kind that slowly smooths your brain out with it's patterns of abstract beauty.I got my first set of turntables when I was 16 and love mixing music together just as much as I like creating music. I knew I wanted to mix music ever since I discovered the talents of DJs like Sasha and Digweed.I think its truly fascinating the way creative DJs share, blend, and mix together this wonderful, hard-to-find music that so many people will never hear, in their own original way. If it werent for my friends, I wouldnt be as exposed to the amounts of music that I listen to today, so I have much thanks to give to all of them.
