Mixmaster F

Profile courtesy of Free MySpace LayoutsWell, here it is. I'm Mixmaster F. Friends call me the Mixmaster, DJ, or Matt. I've been into music my entire life. I started taking piano lessons when i was six years old. I found out around 6th grade sometime, that DANCE MUSIC was my real passion. I dj'd my first mobile gig @ 15 years old. It was an Avon x-mas party (lol). I self-taught myself for a while to mix and blend, but my real break didn't come until I was 17. I met Dan Colantone (owner of Tone Productions DJ Service) at a wedding expo that was held at the banquet hall where i worked. I began working for him shortly after i met him, and i still do! I've been with Tone Productions for almost 13 years now, and i currently hold the position of Office Manager. To date i have dj'd approximately 500 weddings, and i'm still going. Weddings are fun, but like i already said my real passion is the dance music. I've always worked clubs, but in the last four years i've really jumped ahead and put alot of work into my club gigs. I currently resident DJ on various nights at Charlie's Chicago & Roscoe's Tavern in the Lakeview (Boystown) neighborhood in Chicago. When i spin at the clubs, you can definately expect something DIFFERENT! I like to think that my style, and my vision of how music should be programmed at clubs is different than any other DJ out there. I love to spin the top 40 dance hits, with my own little flava mixed in. I love the vocal/UK house tracks, some underground, and anything dance remixed. I'll often make my own remixes of tracks, and then surprise the crowds on any given night. Oh wait, that's right.....i also REMIX! Remixing has become my ultimate passion. Making tracks for other DJ's, getting your name recognized, that's the name of the game. I want to continue progressing, and really make a name for myself. I've been a remixer for Selectmix/Hot Tracks (www.selectmix.com) since 2004. We make promotional remixes for DJ ONLY use and radio broadcast. Working for a "Remix Service" has always been my dream. Since the days when i first started spinning, i used to buy Ultimix, Powerhouse, Direct Hit, Discotech, Promix, all of them. Using DJ friendly edits was what i used when i learned how to beat-mix, and i still use them today. Now that i work for a remix service, i get to make the edits that LOTS of DJ's use. That means a lot to me, and i always do my best to make a high-quality product. Currently I hold the position of Lead Remixer for Selectmix, and along with owner Scott Thomas, Executive Producer of the Hot Tracks Mainstream Dance series. Hot Tracks is now in it's 27th year of production. One of these days, i will jump a little further into the original production field, i can't wait. So that's that. At any given time, you can find me Spinnin' somewhere, or at home in my studio remixing. See-Ya At The CLUB!......Check out these SNL Video Skits.........They are funny as Hell!
