Snoop Dogg feat. Pharrell - Drop It Like It's Hot (Matt Slammer's Bach to Basics Mix)

Tape rip of a Happy Hardcore mix I did back in 1996.

DJ Mattrix (aka Matt Slammer) - Happy Hardcore '96

One of my favourite 80s tracks, remixed for 2014 by yours truly. Out of respect for the artist and his new name I have title it as Sananda Maitreya but you will all know who he formerly was.

Extended version of the original with numerous added elements included breaks and a funky bassline. 

Enjoy.

Matt Slammer - Booty Breaks Mix

Conspiracy theories work because they appeal to our fascination for stories and narratives that are salient and evoke vivid imagery.

In statistics, the overall probability decreases with each event you add. In storytelling, however, the more detail you provide, the more believable the story becomes.

In this example, I tell "the truth" about COVID-19. Each piece of the story is possible but has an unknown degree of probability. 

Do you believe it?

How conspiracy theories work in the age of COVID-19

At the tender age of 12, Matt Slammer started mixing the early hardcore and jungle bought with pocket money from Birmingham's Don Cristie's record shop. A couple of years' too young to attend the early 90s raves, Slammer had to make do listening to the events' tape packs and trying to emulate his heroes on the 1s and 2s.

Slammer spun at clubs and parties around the UK throughout the 90s and early noughties, the highlight of which was doing the warm-up set for the legendary Slipmatt.

During a 10-year stint in Thailand, Slammer was a regular fixture at the capital's underground parties and ran a radio station which became notorious for its late-night unofficial old skool hardcore sets.

After returning to the UK, Slammer joined the Urban Warfare Crew, doing regular radio shows and events in London and Malta. 

After nearly 3 decades on the wheels of steel, Slammer's unconditional love for anything with a breakbeat has never dwindled.

When he's not producing, Matt is the Founder and Director of the psychology-based Learning & Development company, Enlites. www.enlites.com
