CURRENTLY DORMANT

I’d love to be making music, recording mixes and actively following others who make the music I love, but since winter 2018/2019, real life has been getting in the way (no, I’ve not been in prison or anything!).

Hopefully I’ll get back onto it as soon as time allows, and maybe I’ll be back. On the other hand, it’s dead on here these days, so maybe I won’t…

Many thanks to everyone who followed, liked, commented and downloaded.

New Acid Techno Label Imported From Outta Space !!!!!

BEEP BEEP BEEP WHOOOOOOSH

Hello, all. My name is DJ Shnootz (real name Matt), and my obsession with acid techno and acid trance began in late 1996. Twenty-eight years later, I am still obsessed with acid techno and acid trance.

Of course, I also mix hardcore/gabber, acid core, psybient, Goa/psy, hard trance, UK hard house/NRG, ragga tek, and even some melodic trance every now and then. In fact, in the last few years (since mid 2015 or so, and especially since late 2017), I've gravitated quite significantly toward hardcore/gabber (particularly "early hardcore" with healthy doses of ACID). To be clear, I still mix acid techno, acid trance, and the other styles I mentioned above; but fair to say, gabber has become one of my main pursuits in the last few years, so hardcore heads should expect many more mixes of thunderous gabber going forward.

In any case, I’ve also long been a fan of hardcore punk rock (e.g., Propagandhi, [UK] Subhumans, Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, etc.), hip-hop (Del the Funkee Homosapien, Jurassic-5, Sage Francis, early Wu, etc.), reggae/dancehall/dub (General Levy, Daddy Freddy, Pato Banton, Steel Pulse, Bob, etc.), classical music (Beethoven, Dvorak, Khachaturian, Rossini, Verdi, etc.), and many other types of "normal" music, as well.

In terms of my work as a DJ, I have always been a vinyl guy (the only exception being my psybient sets, as most psybient is released digital-only), though to be clear, I have absolutely no problem with digital DJs and digital-only tracks; I just stick to what I know, that's all. Anyway, I started playing parties in southern California in late '99, and over the next few years, I played a few dozen events for Something Fresh, Neosapiens, Believe, Molecule, and a handful of other production companies I can't remember. I took a semi-hiatus between maybe 2005 and early 2009 (and I still mixed the occasional set during those years) but then got back into it more earnestly and developed a modest but wonderfully demented online following, particularly overseas. Since early 2015, I've also begun to play a handful of events again, so we'll see what the future holds.

Anyway, enjoy the mixes, and feel free to contact me about tunes, further info, or bookings. Keep it acid!
