Matthew AKA “The Countach” sent me this track over a year ago and, to begin with, I couldn’t decide what to make of it.That was until I tried it out loud to some amazing reactions. It’s a borderline 90’s rave track that can work in a “deep” environment and still have a huge effect on a festival crowd.Some will absolutely love it and some won’t.

To balance out those in need for a “safe hit” I’ve pulled together another remix line up straight from my top draw.First up is the boss of Parisian label MEANT and close friend, Remain, who takes Melvin deep along a 10 minute hand’s on the back of your head ecstasy journey.

Second is Italian house producer and Tigersushi regular, Club Silencio, stretching the 90’s nod to another level with a remix that could easily be from Norman Cook circa 92’.

Acid house Mancunian, Miguel Manzano, recently had a smash with “Raw Onion” on Popular Peoples Front, so much so that I winged him in for a remix straight away.A crazy dubbed out raw 303 groove appeared in my inbox soon after and it was added straight to the pack.

Lastly myself and Clouded partner, Steve, compete the EP with our take on Melvin with a low-slung, drugged out weirdo expedition.

The Countach - Melvin Never Made it EP (CLOUDED 004)

The Countach - Melvin Never Made it (Original)  clip

Matt Walsh’s inter­est in DJing and pro­duc­tion was fos­tered in the late 1990′s, while he was at uni­ver­si­ty and pro­gres­sive house was at its peak. Fast-for­ward a cou­ple of years, a new decade her­ald­ed the birth of Elec­tro­clash and with it DJ Hell’s Gigo­lo Records, City Rock­ers and Play­house. As Matt began to devel­op his trade­mark sound of mod­ern dis­co-infused elec­tron­ic house and tech­no, an offer of a res­i­den­cy at East London’s sem­i­nal T‑Bar club set off a chain of events that would lead to Tur­bo Record­ings don Tiga spot­ting him there in 2007. He then became a long term res­i­dent of Bugged Out! and Tur­bo and has since toured the globe alone and with oth­er artists.

Matt’s record label, Cloud­ed Vision Record­ings has seen releas­es from tal­ent from all cor­ners, includ­ing Red Axes, long term friend Daniel Avery and many more. His two mixed com­pi­la­tions “The Cloud­ed Vision Exper­i­ment” received crit­i­cal acclaim from Mix­mag, GQ and DJ Mag.

Since relo­cat­ing to Mar­gate in 2017, Matt has been busy opening The Tap Room and has trans­formed one of Margate’s secret spots into a boom­ing small bar, where you can expect to see local and trav­el­ling DJs play­ing every week, as well as a great mix of cock­tails and craft beer.



In 2023 Matt reignited his old clubnight "Movement" which was originally formed with Daniel Avery back in 2011. The new version is held quarterly at Faith In Strangers, Margate and the first three sold out parties have seen Erol Alkan, Daniel Avery , Optimo and Richard Fearless join Matt on the decks for the night. August will welcome Manfredas to Margate for the first time and some very exciting collaborations are to follow in 2025.
