This is Astron Music for You

Presented by
Rubeen Khan (Director)

Electro by nature with dark soul of techno Unlayr is a creature not quite elegant but surely effective. Featuring a gritty edge, this young producer seeks to drive a name without definition but with a voice. Subtly tech beat and bass, this one draws unique a sound embedded in groove. Though early on the path, we expect big things from this budding and driven name.

Born in 1979, Matt is mixing since 1993. He had his first paid gig on Juli 17th 1993, after which many homies aksed him to play on their parties. At the age of sixteen, he was booked to his first official club-gigs.

2009 he began to study "Digital Music Production" and married his wife Verena, who was at that time a well known DJane using her Alter Ego "Lucy van Dura". Lucy was spinning at the decks since 2001 already. Both had started their career with pure vinyl mixing in perfect beat.

2010 Matt sold his first tracks to a webdesigner from munich and to a mobile game publisher at hamburg.

In February 2013 he published Ozymandias, his first single using his alter ego Matt van Dura. It contains a famous poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley, which was read by Matt himself and later sung by his DJ-Buddy Groovechiller.

On March 28th 2013 the follow-up Gilgamesh was released to iTunes, Beatport, Junodownload and many other shops. It was already licensed by Heineken Deutschland and Klang ID Berlin for their Heineken UEFA Ibiza Final Compilation mixed by Steve Paris. 

The Remixes of Ozymandias, containing Groovechillers vocals, were released in April 2013.

One year and many gigs later, Matt finally teamed up with his spouse Lucy, now an even more famous DJane, than in 2009. She had already remixed Ozymandias and Gilgamesh.

They succesfully published their first joint project, the "Heiss" EP in May 2015.

This colaboration was so succesfull indeed, that they decided to work on that way. So they concentrated on music production.

In only 9 months they produced a completely new album, with the working title "Smoke, Dust 'n' Drinks".

In summer 2015 Matt and Lucy decided to found a project with their coproducer and DJ-Buddie Groovechiller. The aim of this project is to built live playable versions of their existing tracks and to produce more common works of Groovechiller and the vanDuras. This group is called "The Looped Society".

Singer. Perfomer. Songwriter. Percussionist. Lyricist/Composer.

Saxophone/Piano and Vocal Direction. Choir Direction: ALL MALE VOICES (4 part chorus)(US NAVY BLUE JACKETS CHOIR DIRECTOR GREAT LAKES, Illinois - 1992), Labor Of Love Outreach Ministry (Gospel), God's House Of Prayer (Gospel). Zero Lip Syncing. ALL FEELING. ALL SOUL. ALL LIVE. I love music DEEP, SOULFUL & with FEELING!!!!! 

And that's the whole thing. REAL Modern LIFE, it seems, has lost "feeling"…"intimacy". Like Tin Pan Alley days of yore… :)

I was alive at the turn of R&B-Funk-Disco-House and I love them ALL because I remember all those LOFTY emotions; dancing the night away; sneaking into nightclubs at 14 after growing my beard out all week in NYC. The Haunting vocals that RESONATED in the mind of a precocious TEEN that understood THEN AND NOW, that LOVE is worth every effort…NO MATTER WHAT…LOVE should be sought after like Colombus' global quest for bounty…

THE VOICE IS THE FIRST INSTRUMENT. The BEAT FOLLOWED. The Melody. The Harmony. The Discord in the background vocals. Sentiment. Then THE RHYTHM Emoting SOUL BEARING nuances in House Music that make you lift off AND THEN UNBELIEVABLE LYRICS that resonate….That's what I use to escape the MUNDANITY of HUMANITY…

NOW LYRIC IS MOST IMPORTANT…All animals make noise…BUT FEW MAKE MUSIC!!!! And NONE CAN WRITE save humans…

And the SPIRIT Realm that GOOD music can usher in…I grew up during the ERA of the DJ. I am from NY and was educated in NJ…. DJ's in the 70's and 80's were Rock Stars. Hip Hop started with the DJ and the MC. HOUSE was built by Jack; The DJ lol. WE did not have auto tune and digital vocal enhancements BECUZ we had to ACTUALLY HAVE TALENT…. ijs #LongevityMuch

I have a LAUNDRY LIST of DJ's I have loved and followed through the years, from Paradise Garage and The Loft to Newark's ZANZIBAR to NYC Traxx and The Tunnel or Sound Factory OR Mallorca Spain's BCM and the whole Ibiza movement as well as Defected in the House <3

These ROCK STARS were like 'gods' to us come down from HOUSE OLYMPUS…LEVAN, HUMPHRIES, KNUCKLES, BENITEZ, CAPRI, VEGA, and others who've ushered in this generation of DJ's. Salute to the DJ's who keeps MUSIC PUSHING FORWARD! Including legendary First Lady of the Tables, Niecy D….

DJ Sadhu, DJQuentin Harris, Black Coffee, DJ Renay and DJ SUSPENCE are this ERA's DJ gods from HOUSE OLYPMUS! #PutItTogether
