Matt Wainwright

From : 31/03/08

Matty has been a DJ in bars, clubs ,restaurants and festivals on a weekly basis since 2000 and has worked with many talented artists and played at many large corporate events in the UK and abroad. Highlights include a residency in one of India's finest bars/clubs, Reading & Leeds festivals 2005 & 2006, Stella Artois After Dark events for which he appeared in Dazed and Confused Magazine, Fruitstock, Café Mambo (Ibiza) and working alongside talents such as James Lavelle (UNKLE), David Holmes, Rob Tissera, Bill Brewster (Last Night a DJ Saved My Life), DJ Yoda, Pete Gooding (Cafe Mambo-Ibiza),Snowboy, Rob Da Bank (BBC Radio 1) and The Unabombers to name a few.

Matty also worked as an Artist Relations Manager at Warner Bros Records UK until August 2008, responsible for producing many one off events/launches and scheduling artists promo for artists such as Madonna, REM, Led Zeppelin as well as many up and coming UK and international artists.This has enabled him to fine tune his skills for putting on a show and recognise the bigger picture, rather than just playing other peoples records with no sense of occasion.

His DJ sets are eclectic, forging a unique 'anything goes' style which is all about the vibe and working the room. So expect to hear anything from house, reggae, soul, disco, electro, balearica, nu-jazz, funk, broken beats and hip hop. Matty can play the main room of a club but is equally at home playing to a sunset, his DJ history reflects this diversity (please see below)

The mantra is simple, if it's got soul; it's got the vote.
