Matt Rowan’s DJ career spans two decades of house music and continues to grow and evolve today. Having commenced his first residency back in 1998, Matt has gone on to become a regular at many a Sydney nightclub and event.

A style that’s been described as “Bass-driven House Music”, Matt’s sets incorporate a strong rhythmic and techy feel whilst remaining light hearted and funky: A combination which gets any dance floor moving! This dance floor oriented approach to set structure and programming, combined with deft skills, has seen Matt hold residencies at Sounds on Sunday and Sydney’s premier progressive night SweetChilli. With dates both at home and abroad, 2006 saw Matt make his WMC debut with numerous guest appearances alongside some of the industry’s finest, whilst 2007 promises to be a big year with further dates in Europe and South America.

2005 saw the release of Matt’s debut production “The Cruzer EP” on L2 Music as well as remixes of Ikarus’s Collapso and Seyton’s “Vikinfjord”. 2006 saw productions on labels such as Reversible, Fiberline, Only and Amenta Records whilst his tune “Keep Sake” appears on Steve Porter’s “PorterHouse” compilation and with a further four tunes licensed to Porter’s “PorterHouse 2” recording in 2007. In demand on the remix front, expect to see more releases very soon.

Alongside production buddy Jaytech, Matt’s release “Tomorrow/Blaze” was described by Nick Warren as “…the tune of 2005” and was championed by Warren as well as Hernan Cattaneo around the globe. Signed to Hope recordings, “Tomorrow” features on Dave Seaman’s Renaissance compilation “Master Series 3”. 2006 saw more original productions from the duo and remixes for V-Sag, Starecase, AFK, CPM, Narek and Danny Bullo, Cue Maddison and Medway whilst 2007 will see further productions original and co-productions on labels Rapid Response,
