Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is Matt and I am a 22 year-old Open-Format DJ/Producer based out of State College, PA. Over the past 9 months I've held residencies at 5 bars/clubs in downtown State College, and have also performed in shows alongside acts such as hip-hop artist NAV, the DJ/Producer duo Xuitecase City, and more. From a production standpoint, I have made many edits and mashups of many different genres that have garnered the attention and support of DJ's such as DJ Benzi, DJ Noodles, and many more. My current genre of choice to produce in would be trap, twerk, and moombah, and I am hoping to continue this with some upcoming original releases within those genres.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I started as a "Frat DJ" in college playing at the notoriously large parties in Penn State Greek Life, which primarily revolved around big room house and progressive house. I was really into the progressive house sound for about a year, until I discovered the many subgenres of club music and trap. I'm now into a lot more hip-hop oriented trap music and would like to continue my production career within this category, alongside some of the great DJs and Producers who brought my interest to the genre.
What´s new right now?
I just graduated from Penn State with my undergraduate degree in December, and have now decided to take a few months off before pursuing graduate school. I'm planning to continue DJing in downtown State College over the course of this time, as well as attempting to produce my own original music full-time. I do not have a timeline as to when I will release anything new, but I'm hoping to develop my production workflow to the degree at which I can release some original work within the next two months.
