Darkmatter is Matt Bettany from stoke on trent , staffordshire UK. Matt began going to his local club called Kinetic at the age of 14 (check out the BPM video below) . Saving up his dinner money at school to pay for the entrance fee, he and a few mates used to que outside the local bus depot in the near town of longton on a friday night , telling his parents he was sleeping over at a friends . The club which in the 70s and 80s had been known as jolies and hosted many a World Darts Championship! was above the bus station. It was here matt first got into hard dance music like Hardcore, Techno and Darkcore. Some of his favourite dj's at the time were the likes of Ratty and Tango , Grooverider,SS, Brisk . Matt was also into The then early starting out rave PA called The Prodigy who have been a major influence on Darkmatters musical tastes. Towards the mid nineties the music style played in Kinetic started to go down a cheesy, commercial route rather than the gritty underground stuff he liked.
This was happening all over the country too. Before long a new style of music emerged from the dark hardcore seen. A fusion of breakbeat, Ragga and Regae ...JUNGLE!! was the new sound for this Sound bwoy. Matt loves the breaks and even more so the bass. Darkmatter some times DJ's under the guise of DJ Veloce (Vee-lo-Chee) which is italian for Velocity, playing out the latest tunes. Following the jungle scene into what is now refered to as Drum and Bass,now at the age of 28 Darkmatter started producing at the end of 2005. Matt finds it difficult to find his creative flow at times due to working 54 hours so he works on bits of tunes and then goes back to them later and mainly works late at night , Keep checking this site for more Darkmatter tunes as they progress. Darkmatter plans to work on some tracks with his friend Dj Dubplate in the near future. Check out dubplates myspace by clicking on his link in darkmatters friends. Darkmatter is looking to get signed to a label in the next couple of years and hopefully get regular djing slots. Watch this space! In 2000 matt was approached by his then next door neighbour Chig who asked him to bring his keyboards etc to a band rehersal. The band called flowertrap were looking for another guitarist and had not thought of the possibility of keyboards before but gave matt a go . Matt would add all kinds of weird noises and effects to live shows and introduced movie samples in between tracks as kind of intro fills. They recored a number of demo's appeared at battle of the band competitions and came second only to a manufactured band which had been put together by a record company soley for the competition. They even had air play on BBC radio stoke but alas the band split a few years later. Chig and Usher have now reformed there punk band called The Skeptix and are having phenominal success in the U.S. Hayley and Daz had a baby Son ... width="425" height="350" ..Knights Of Cydonia
