GET UP GET DOWN - THE REMIX presents
MAT THE ALIEN – http://www.myspace.com/matthealien
Let’s clear something up - technically Mat is not an Alien though after seeing him play a DJ set you’d think otherwise!
He’s been DJ’ing since ’88 but it was after being introduced to the DJ culture of the Acid House warehouse party scene that he was really hooked on blending beats on the turntables. He further developed his style while working in his family’s record store (opened by his dad in the UK when Mat was just 4) and it wasn’t until after he arrived in Canada that his turntable abilities suddenly jumped to new heights. Heights later described by Knowledge Magazine as, “awe inspiring & some next level shit.”
Mat’s music selection appeals to a wide variety of crowds, spanning many genres from Hip-Hop, Funk, Dancehall, Breakbeats, Drum & Bass, Rock, and more. He has toured across the globe at events of up to 10,000 people, pioneering regular club nights in Whistler, Vancouver and even held down a bi-weekly residency in Las Vegas at Eye Candy (at Mandalay Bay) for 8 months.
At shows Mat is known for his pristine, quick mixing of many genres (usually driven by heavy bass-lines) and scratching techniques that really do sound like they came from another world. Did Mat really get abducted by aliens? We’ll never know but one thing is certain, he has proven time and time again that he plays out of this world DJ sets.
