About Matt-U
Matt-U used to be a drumandbass producer/DJ, but his sound is dubstep nowadays. Budapest based DJ/producer Matt-U is nothing less than a tune making machine. Armed with a seriously heavy deep and techy based sound, Matyas Szalai has made a name for himself releasing hard and heavy drum & bass for labels as renowned as the legendary Moving Shadow, Timeless and Cylon. With over 34 releases to his name since 2004, this is one producer you should be keeping an eye on. His music encapsulates many genres of music, from drum & bass to dubstep, but all with that 'Matt-U' sound running throughout. Recently his dubstep tracks have been getting plenty of attention from DJs such as N-Type, TRG, Luke Envoy, Tes La Rok and many more. Look out for his releases forthcoming on Subway, Boombap, Mata-syn, Dub4Life and N-Type's Wheel & Deal. With just as much artistic emphasis placed on his DJ sets as his production, Matt-U can truly claim to cold rock a party with his impeccable blend of beats, incorporating everything from techy rollers to deeper, ambient pieces. This is one DJ who isn't afraid to drop the right tune, at the right time to take the crowd on a very special journey. (Matt-U is Matyas Szalai, one of Budapest's most prolific and respected drumandbass artists, making waves with his particular deep techy sound ever since his release with production partner Jade on the seminal BSE Recordings, 'Got Lost', in 2004. A mixdown purist and extreme neuro-bassline surgeon, Matt has released a host of 12"s on BSE, Moving Shadow, 1210, Citrus, Xtinction Agenda, Timeless and Commercial Suicide among others. His forthcoming records will be out on Gridlok's Project 51 and Loxy's Xtinction Agenda, sealing the deal for this tallented, diverse producer. DJ support comes from Loxy and Ink, Keaton, Flight, Goldie, Klute, LTJ Bukem, Gridlok, Ed Rush and Optical. All that penciled in, Matt proves he has soul after all! Soulproof is a production alias meant to cover the liquid side of things, alongside old-time partner Andor of Mindscape fame. As a DJ, Matt-U has been actively involved in his local scene for 3 years, with international appearances and headlining acts from the small, intimate venues to the post-rave festival gigs.)
