Words Are Liberation

Reset Button

Vertigo Deluxe is the songwriting/production team Matthew Ferry and Roger Wade. Ferry was recruited through a mutual friend to be the singer in Wade’s alternative band in the late 80’s, and the band scored a record deal with Orange County’s Dr. Dream Records. The normal frustrations of working around everyone’s schedules took their toll, and more importantly the pair discovered the emerging Downtown LA acid house club scene. They found this new form of music and culture to be far more enticing than the local live music circuit and they disbanded their group.

Ferry and Wade set aside their guitars and experimented with computers, samplers, and synthesizers. Trying their best to merge actual “songs” with this new and exciting form of music, the pair had only limited success in getting heard, and they went their separate ways in the early 1990’s. Wade moved to New York and Ferry remained in California, but both continued to work independently with their own home studios.

In the mid 90’s Wade had relocated to Arizona and hooked up with internationally known DJ/producer Markus Schulz. The new forms of Progressive House and later Trance were well suited to someone with a music background, and Schulz enlisted Wade’s help on various commercial remixes ranging from The Backstreet Boys to Blue Amazon infusing a sense of melody that was often missing from DJ remixes.

Ferry and Wade started producing new music at first from separate studios in separate states, but in the late 90’s the two merged their studios back into one in California. In two years, the pair wrote, produced and/or remixed a long string of singles on various dance labels under several different names in both the US and Europe. A few of these progressive productions were released under the name Vertigo Deluxe, but their greatest success came when they wrote and then remixed a song called “You Won’t See Me Cry” for their friend Markus Schulz. The song spent 9 weeks on the Billboard Club Play chart and has been included on dozens of compilations and mix CDs.

Wade began a side career as a DJ during this phase, but they always dreamed of doing projects that were more musical and “song” oriented than the strict format club music follows. They wrote songs for other artists and produced some downtempo “electronica” singles, most notably Carissa Mondavi’s debut single “Solid Ground” which became an international club hit in various remixed forms.

In early 2001 they decided to take a break from the club music and pursue their longtime dream of an entire album that incorporated some melodic vocals, but set against a tapestry of electronic and traditional textures that wove together to make a complete “album” experience. Influenced by the way the 1970’s Pink Floyd albums seamlessly combined different songs into one larger composition with recurring musical themes, Ferry and Wade never lost sight of their ambitious goal.

With guest performances by selected vocalists from previous projects, the album began taking shape, The project ended up taking much longer to complete than they anticipated, but in mid 2002 the album was completed and includes incredible contributions from singers Carissa Mondavi, Michelle Crispin, Anna Reis, and Margeaux Fernandez, as well as some uncredited vocals of their own.

Rather than shop the project as it was being worked on in small pieces, they decided to finish it independently and release it on their own, presenting it as one, finished work.

After the incredible success of Energy Affirmations 01, I went back into the studio and created an all new 60 minute, positive affirmation filled dance track for you to get inspired by.  Bouncy, upbeat dance beats, soaring melodies, positive lyrics and spoken word affirmations make this the ultimate mood enhancing album. Listen while working out, in the moring to wake up or while you are cleaning the house.

Energy Affirmations 2

This is a collection of demo's I created for an album I never released.  If you want to know what I'm going through in my life, listen to my music. 

I wrote these songs to be performed at a festival I was creating called, Festival of The Spirit. The songs are the story of my transformation. I was on a massive uptick on my own person journey and I was starting to have some pretty big awarenesses about myself and life.

I never finished the album. Never produced the songs. These are all demos. Which in musician speak is like an artists sketch. They are designed to give you the idea. Over the years, I've had many many people tell me to release them so I've decided to share them with you. I hope they inspire you as much as they have others in the past.

Surrendering to the work that is required to achieve my goals

Go! Go! Go!

I decided to get sober in 2003 because my spiritual practices had revealed the degree to which I was being a fool. I was letting the drugs and alcohol run my life. I was making really bad decisions. I was going through bouts of depression. I kept trying to use my personal development techniques to mask how I really felt but it wasn't working. David and I wrote this song to connect with that new realization that I needed to hit the reset button.

This was very hard time in my relationship with Claudine (my second wife). She was upset that I was no longer her party buddy. I was diving deep into my spiritual practices. She didn't enjoy or appreciate my spiritual process. I didn't want to drink, party and hang out with a bunch of drunk people on the weekends anymore. We were starting to live separate lives in our marriage. I was awake. I could see it. I was constantly using my techniques to reengage, take responsibility and own up to my side of the process. This song is me reflecting on my own resentments and how they had contributed to us not feeling connected.

I'm Sorry (I've been stupid)

Inspired by my relationship with my own father and how he influenced me to be more connected to my kids, David Keesee and I wrote this heartfelt ballad about renouncing working hard and ignoring the family. In 2008 I got off the road and dedicated myself to living a family-centric lifestyle and this song points to the mental emotional and spiritual process I went through.

I really enjoyed making this song. We hired an orchestrator in San Francisco to create the piano and orchestra for us. It was very inspiring to go through that process. And by the way, that's Lucas (my fourth son) talking to me as a baby in the beginning and end of the song.

Precious Moments

I accidentally created a movement in Seattle with a process I started calling The Gift.

My good friends Thach, Kristen and Mark organized events, a podcast and ultimately a book around the subject. David Keesee and I decided to write a song to commemorate the process of giving The Gift. You will get a hint as to the origin story behind the process.

The Gift

In 2008 I collaborated with my friend David Keesee on an album. We decided to write a collection of songs about the struggles of life which create new insights and ultimately transformation.

Why You Hatin' on Me Now was a song we wrote about my wife at the time who seemed to get annoyed with my desire to change, shift, up-level and transform. Every time I took on a new personal discipline to improve myself, she complained.

This song gives you my thoughts and feelings regarding being under constant scrutiny when all I was trying to do was make my life better.

Focused (On the Love)

Hey! Glad you are here!! I've been writing songs in the EDM and electronica genres since the 90's. But lately, I've been doing more singer-songwriter style. 

My most notable success was co-writing the song "You Won't See Me Cry" with artist/DJ Markus Schulz and Roger Wade, which spent 9 weeks on the Billboard magazine Dance Club Play charts in 1999, peaking for 3 weeks at #38.

In the early 2000's I made a left turn, got out of the songwriting for others business and started making music for my clients. I started writing songs about inspiration, empowerment, and I've tried to promoted ideas of self-realization and living a fulfilling life.

I've released music under the name Vertigo Deluxe and under my own name. Some of my releases have been Energy Affirmations, Love Explosion, and Reset Button. I've been writing for others again and wrote a song for a female artist named Nuttalya https://www.nuttalya.com/. I also have a release on Cold Harbour Recordings.

Over the years my messages have become more thoughtful, inspirational, introspective and spiritually focused.  

I am a spiritual teacher & happiness coach, who helps people break free of negative thought patterns so that they can reduce stress and enjoy life. I am the creator of The Rapid Enlightenment Process and the best selling author of Quiet Mind Epic Life: Escape the Status Quo and Experience Enlightened Prosperity Now.
