Always romancing the stoned with his special blend of only the funkiest liquid Drum'n Bass & breakbeat flavas . . . for me it's all about progressing funk, soul, reggae and atmospheric music into the future with a big funky dancefloor sound - I'm mainly focused on liquid Drum'n Bass but to me it's all the same - kickin' bass, killer melodies, bangin' beats, and good vibrations.
I am funky liquid drum'n bass DJ who plays out in my hometown of Auckland, New Zealand most weekends. You can listen to my music. And if you like funky, vibing dancefloor flavas you should.I got into Jungle and Trip Hop as a teenager in the mid 90's after being turned on to raves and cafs and that. I've been playing out and making beats for three years as Romantech. In late 2002, me and my mate started Data:bass Network here in Auckland, New Zealand - and I'm now running our label, 0474:8455 Recordings. I have also "released" a full length, mixed cd-r demonstration of our material from the funky side of things, "Lickwicked".
I'm on an urban buzz, that's my vibe, searching out the good things from amongst it all, searching for something to feel good about, to make you whole, that makes you just wanna ride it out on a fast break with a ridiculously funky lick on it , and your jumping up, moving into the future . . . or your chilling and this incredibly moving melody just hits you and cracks you open and all this shit comes flowing out of you and you look back, and you look forward, and you look around . . . and it makes you fully just THINK!I also produce downbeat and other more "at-home" joints as Further. + You can check out my DJ mixes on my homesite.
Matt says:
“I really feel the urge to make something happen, something special. Music is special, and to me, creativity is a necessity to understanding. Encouraging it, making it happen and attempting to go about it in a conscious way, I think is achieving something worthwhile. With music, a connection occurs between the artist and the listener that creates a greater potential for understanding than social interactions might otherwise allow. “
“My music is generally about life in the city, life at the turn of the century, the lifespans of the different relationships we form, the significance created by the ubiquitous passing of time, and how we reflect on the way our lives play out..”
My mixing's nothing flash, I can mix a bunch of records together, but when I step to the plates I represent for all the elements that Data:bass brings together - the music, the artists, the events - in my running of the label, and my commitment to building the Data:bass thing as something that can be better for more and more people who wanna do good things, and of course for those who come to us to have a good time.
I'm mainly into my production, I've got at least a hundred songs, all kinds. I've gone back to pure songwriting, then I lay down a break or some beats down on it. My strength is melodies and hooks, and I got my singer girl Haze, Bobbylon's daughter. "Sensitive yet soulful" is what I like to say about her. I play all the funky vocal numbers, and my dream is like to be the guy who gets called in to do big rolling club remixes of shit like K.lee and Nesian Mystic . . . and get away with it! . . . And . . . and like, make Drum'n Bass more acceptable to the mainstream so they can understand how funky and charging it is, and we can get cashed up and have massive free parties and give away heaps of CD's and sponsors products and shit! And I can retire into being this fat little gold chain wearing sugar daddy cutting up and playing out cheesy bootlegs and focusing on my stage act, like with dancers and pyrotechnics and Imagine if the next record would be lowered down from above in this brilliant cocoon of light and interpretive dancers would shuttle the hallowed twelve across the stage to meet it's destiny at the hand of the diamond tip . . .
