From the dark sweaty hypnotism of acid house, to the bodyshaking compression of modern electro tech, through the soul-binding magic of nu-Detroit epics and the sexy machine funk of jacking minimalism, Matt Drake weaves and twists you through an sonic odyssey of breathtaking proportions.

Matt has been spinning his wares for the past 15 years, always keeping his eye firmly on the future, playing the most innovative, body rocking cuts spliced, melted and served up in a seamless sonic sauce that has shown him to be one of New Zealand's most innovative dancefloor talents.

He emerged on to the Auckland club scene at the age of 14, playing at some of the city's most formative underground clubs and warehouse parties. His insatiable appetite for new and cutting-edge music, as well as an adventurous and dynamic mixing style soon caught the attention of the infamous 'rebel alliance', and before long Matt was playing across Auckland and throughout New Zealand.
