I like your music. 
Supporter and die hard fan of ALL OF IT...for now
Possible creations foreseen in future... 

Loved DJing back in the 90s and early 2000s, as well as raving, when I was dropping those badass tunes! amongst other things! ☺ Now I'm very content in just listening to many genres of music. Why limit yourself to one particular genre when there's so much to discover and love, and also rediscover and love even more? Don't brand yourself! let loose, feel the boundless vibe of life! ☺ Enjoy guys! ♥  d(∩_∩)b

Godfather’, ‘Legend’, ‘International Hero’. All accolades attributed by loving fans Worldwide to the DJ, Producer and scene pioneer known as ‘Slipmatt’. For over three decades, this dubplate diamond has been changing the game, staying on the pulse and keeping ahead of the curve, packing dancefloors and selling out clubs long before it was cool and still does so to this very day.
  
Having produced a ton of successful singles and compiled a number of hit selling mix albums under his ‘Slipmatt’ alias for some of the World’s most respected record labels including United Dance and Ministry Of Sound, ‘Slipmatt’ is also one of the masterminds behind legendary production outfit SL2 (along with Lime and MC Jay), the visionaries responsible for the chart smashing anthems ‘On A Ragga Tip’ & ‘Way In My Brain’ among many others on the iconic label XL Recordings, home to legendary acts such as ‘The Prodigy’, ‘Basement Jaxx’; and ‘Adele’. 

‘On A Ragga Tip’ is presently enjoying a resurgence of popularity as it goes on the current Virgin Media TV ad as part of their Un-Limiting adverts which includes the new ‘On A Ragga Tip’ Un-Limiting Remix, which has equally proved as popular as ever with dancefloors around the globe and this year alone is scheduled  to collaborate in the studio with Shades Of Rhythm, Andy Galea of Sol Brothers, Alex P, Awesome 3, Alexis Raphael, Sooney and, his good friend DJ Lime with some brand new SL2 releases also in the pipeline.

This wayward don of dance has also played at every major dance event and venue worth knowing about over the years including Energy, Telepathy, Fantazia, Vision, Universe, World Dance, United Dance, Dreamscape, Helter Skelter, Slammin’ Vinyl, Rezurrection, Elevation, Moondance, Raindance, Peace Fest, Clockwork Orange and to top it all off had the great honour of playing directly after his good friends ‘The Prodigy’ to a packed O2 Arena of over 20, 000 people, bringing that particular night to an epic close, and ringing in the year 2014 with a tremendous bang.

‘Slipmatt’ also repeatedly continues to play across the globe in the USA, Asia, Australia, Europe and every corner of his native UK for a string of well recognised and well attended club promotions, festivals and events. He’s no stranger to a Festival or two either playing at leading big top gigs such as Glastonbury, Boomtown and We Are Festival and there has also been and continues to be multiple overseas visits to Ibiza where Slipmatt still to this day enjoys regular return trips to the White Isle’s most infamous hot spots to play such as Eden, Es Paradis and Benimussa Park (The Zoo) 

His media outreach is quite noteworthy also, having started RAW FM, been a resident on Kiss FM, a regular in M8 Magazine and Mixmag, featured in the illustrious DJ Magazine Top 100, he’s been on BBC television a number of times including the famous chart show ‘Top Of The Pops’, runs two of his own popular Radio shows and Podcasts ‘World Of Rave’ and ‘Slip’s House’ and additionally, has won a multitude of awards, including that of ‘Best DJ’ and ‘Best Producer’ awarded by some of the industries most respected bodies such as Kiss FM and EHM.

Not one to ever slow down or fall behind and always keeping himself fresh and relevant, this dancefloor don has been focusing lately on the biggest and best house beats, which has led him to an already extraordinarily busy 2020. Add to that his upcoming book “My Story (and How I Became a World Class DJ)”, which is set to be a smash hit amongst rave fanatics the World over later this year and with over a hundred gigs booked for 2020 already (mid-Feb), there are no signs of this crowd pleasing international artist slowing down any time soon. 

Godfather Of Rave and still keeping it fresh? Definitely.

In valleys deep where echoes dwell,
A tale of sound I weave and tell,
For in my heart, a rhythm beats,
I’m bound to music, life’s sweet treats. 

From dawn’s first light to twilight’s fall,
The melodies around me call. 
They dance on air, like whispers soft,
In every note, my spirit's loft. 

With strings that strum a lover's plea,
And drums that thump like hearts set free,
In every chord, a story lies,
A world unseen beneath the skies. 

From jazz’s soul to rock's embrace,
In each new tune, I find my place. 
A symphony of joy and pain,
Through highs and lows, I’ll sing again. 

Oh, vinyl spins and cassettes rewind,
Through every genre, truth I find. 
The whispers of the past ignite,
In every heart, a spark of light. 

When silence falls like evening’s shroud,
I seek the sound, the vibrant crowd. 
For life’s a stage, and I the pawn,
In music’s web, I am reborn. 

So let the trumpets rise and soar,
In every beat, I ask for more. 
For in this life, my truth is clear,
I’m a music junkie, forever sincere. 

.........................................


In the realm of melodies where shadows dance,
I found my heart in rhythms, in a trance. 
From the earliest dawn, the echoes did call,
Soft whispers of music, I surrendered it all. 

The notes like rivers, they flowed through my veins,
Each chord a companion through joy and through pains. 
With every sweet harmony, sorrows took flight,
In the symphony's embrace, I discovered my light. 

Yet fingers, they fumbled when trying to weave,
The fabrics of sound where I longed to believe. 
The canvas of silence, though tempting to brush,
I witnessed true mastery in every soft hush. 

For the muse was a beacon, not meant to be tamed,
In the heart of the lyrics my spirit proclaimed,
That music, while distant, would always remain,
A companion in journeys, in sunshine and rain. 

Through valleys and hills where my path became clear,
The whispers of song, they drew ever near. 
For though I may wander, through dream and through strife,
In the tapestry woven, I found the true life. 

So I dance with the rhythm, embrace every beat,
As life unfolds stories with each measure I meet. 
With courage anew, and my heart open wide,
I step boldly forward, with music as guide. 

In the march of existence, a truth I now see,
The notes of my life are forever with me. 
Though creating my sound was not meant to be mine,
In the embrace of the music, I know I will shine. 

.........

From youthful days, a symphony began,
A melody that shaped the soul of man. 
No clash of arms, no kingdoms won or lost,
But inner battles, counted at what cost. 

The speakers hummed, a portal to the soul,
Where stories danced and passions took control. 
A hero's journey, etched in every note,
A whispered secret, from a singer's throat. 

I tried my hand, to weave a sound anew,
To pluck the strings and make the music true. 
But clumsy fingers, could not find the grace,
To build the castles in that sacred space. 

The instruments, like rebels in my hand,
Resisted efforts I could not withstand. 
I bowed my head, admitting my defeat,
To be a listener, oh so bittersweet. 

Though I could not compose a single strain,
The vibrant chords would wash away the pain. 
Through darkest nights, and sunlit, joyful days,
The music's comfort lit familiar ways. 

A guiding star, through stormy, troubled seas,
A gentle breeze that rustled through the trees. 
From soaring heights to valleys deep and low,
The constant rhythm helped my spirit grow. 

I see my path, diverging from the stage,
A different calling, on a different page. 
Yet music echoes, in each step I take,
A silent partner, for goodness sake. 

No matter where life's winding road may lead,
The seeds of melody, a vital feed. 
A vibrant tapestry, forever spun,
The epic soundtrack of a journey done.
