About Me
Matt Dyson saw the light of day on the 3rd September 1983. Born in Chester just outside Liverpool it was inevitable that an interest for electronic music would be inspired by the great Paul Oakenfold and his famous residency at Cream. Being an avid clubber and visiting the great superclubs of the
euro trance era in the late 90’s Matt began his love affair with vinyl, determined to one day set the main rooms of Gatecrasher, Godskitchen and Cream alight alongside his idols Tiesto, Scott Bond
and Paul Van Dyk.As is the case with all DJ’s Matt began spinning at house parties and small events within his local town of Chester, after just two years Matt’s hardwork and determination paid off when his path
crossed with an up and coming event based in North Wales called Slide. Matt grasped the opportunity given to him with both hands and nearly took the roof off with his very first live gig, in fact he did so well he was soon to be offered a permanent residency which he has now held for a
number of years.Matt soon realised that to get to the very top he not only had to be an excellent DJ but also needed the all round skills, so in late 2002 Matt teamed up with Canadian producer Jean-Luc Wu to began
the collaboration Oceans Apart. Together, they have a host of productions and remixes between them. Their latest material brings a blend of new and exciting productions, some of which you may
have already heard.Early productions include Wicked Storm 05, this was a track which received a great reaction from the dancefloor back in early 2004, it was re-made and updated for 2005; Matt’s solo production, A
Race Against Time, was written for the Thrillseekers album launch at the end of 2005. These tracks only underlined the potential that lay within Matt and successes were soon to follow.Frozen in Time is a powerful track which has been earmarked as the beginning of a bright future for both Matt & Jean-Luc within the production ranks, it was written by Jean-Luc and his original mix is
targeted at the more progressive and melodically minded sets. Matt’s very own remix summed up the high energy he displays within his own sets displaying a chunky bassline before launching a
massive breakdown designed to blow away the clubber from the dance floor to the ceiling. This track has been such a success with SunQuest from Black Hole Recordings adding to the growing
number of admirers before adding his own expertise to the track releasing a stunning remix to complete the package, This looks set to be a big hit on the massive label Bonzai.Matt enjoys progressing his sets in order to give the audience a unique and powerful story of music. His style is aimed at the clubber who loves to dance and get lost in the music - Driving basslines and chunky beats with a distinctive uplifting and euphoric feel mean that the dance floor won’t be standing still.It has already been a great few years for Matt, having played along side some of the biggest name in trance including: Judge Jules, Matt Hardwick, Above & Beyond, Scott Bond, Adam Sheridan,
Signum, Hemstock & Jennings, Lange, Alex M.O.R.P.H and more recently Guy Ornadel.2007 and beyond is already developing into an exciting time in Matt’ short career. He has a radio show “HIGHER STATE†which is broadcasted on the internet radio station Pure.FM every 3rd Friday

snowball and his more recent productions, Frozen In Time and Lunar Rhythm have now been signed to the massive Bonzai label, they are due for release in the summer of 2007 and have been penciled in to appear on the labels new album.Matt can only move onwards and upwards and is certainly the man to watch out for over the next few years…My new radio show "HIGHER STAE" starts on the 19th May 2006 on PURE.fm (9pm GMT) The show will air once a month on the 3rd friday of every month, the show will be playing all the best in Trance and Progressive Music from the best trance producers on the planet.
