record and soon after signed his first major album deal with Warner Bro’s
and Sire Records in NYC. Matt’s productions have been a major influence on

Matt is respected as a leading DJ in the scene bringing a truly
international & Multi genre flavor to his sets.
Li Kwan – Point Zero was one
of the first records to be made of the new Genre that then went on to be
known as Trance. Embraced by leading DJ’s at the time
Pete Tong who made Matt his essential
new tune twice and Paul Oakenfold
who quoted that Li Kwan was in his top 5 all time fav tracks. Following on
from that Matt got into the remix game and turned out numerous club hits
which are listed in the discography section. Meanwhile Matt launched his new
act Lost Tribe and created one

on the legendary Hooj Choons
label. Matt also went on to launch artists like

the first time with his massive A -side productions. Since 1998 he sold well
over 2 million singles and albums

into new areas with his rock influenced productions and has continued to
tour the globe with his own unique blend of music from many genres. Most

it was broadcast each week by over 100 FM stations across the globe and

As time passed my tastes changed, eventually some flavors of house became more pleasing to the palate than others. In the beginning I’d dabble mostly with deep tech and a bit of house. Later on, after a few trips to California, I succumbed to the pressures of lounge and west coast soulful house. As time went on the tolerance of my addiction became apparent, I required something more. My love for tech was returning but my need for music was so great I had to play it all. These days I’ve completely given into music and play what I feel and whatever moves me. I do my best to take what’s out there and arrange it in a pleasing fashion for you to hear. Thanks for listening.
