Arrivals - Volume Twenty Five

My next guest on Yax Invites is Matt Holt, a techno DJ, avid music collector and a lover of underground electronica.

From Wolverhampton, Matt discovered his passion for the underground scene through Hysteria, Helter Skelter and Rennie Pilgrim mixtapes. Learning his trade at the age of 17 on a pair of belt-driven turntables he soon got gigs in Wolverhampton bars. These were followed with regular nights at Nailed, a hard dance night in Leicester. In 2019 Matt became a resident at MONO, an up and coming Liverpool techno brand.

Over the years, like many DJ's, Matt’s sound has changed but always keeps to that techno sound. Whether its funky chunky cuts, driving energetic stompers or darker melodic breaks, matt’s sets fit any dancefloor.

This mix showcases where Matt is musically with 90 minutes of funky, driving energetic industrial techno with tracks by Manuel Di Martino, DAST, Audio Units and BAUGRUPPE90 on labels such as Illegal Alien and Newrhythmic Recordings.

Dark Times - Volume Fourteen

The love of dance and electronic music pushed me to start mixing at the age of 17 with a pair of belt driven decks. A few years later I managed to get a slot djing at Leicester hard dance night Nailed. With the help of good friend Davey Asprey more gigs followed.

Several years not mixing and out of the scene I'm now trying it again and seeing where it can take me.

Hope you enjoy listening to my mixes and any comments (good and bad) will be appreciated.
