As he lay in the long grass he watched as the clouds passed by slowly against a backdrop of deep, radiant blue. The occasional gull weaved and flew overhead before disappearing out of sight once again.

He felt the grass blowing all around him in the warm glow of the day as he began to ponder his own existence. Here he was, lost in a daydream again.

This was to be his reverie, his release, his remission.

It was everything.

Innate are set to release a belter of a four track EP showcasing some of the best Deep House and Electro - the proper kind. It's a beautiful collection of tracks, a hot tip if we say so ourselves.

PREMIERE: Curved Space - Reverie [Innate]

Independent artist / remixer / sound engineer / mastering engineer

Self-confessed perfectionist Matt Joy has been seamlessly blending the deeper side of house and tech house since the early years of Cool House,from its beginnings at Las Iguanas to the jam-packed Great Hall and Coal Exchange events of recent times.

Those who’ve heard his mix CDs will concur that the effort he puts in to mixing vinyl makes for some timeless sets. And when Cool House goes deep (with guests like Peace Division, Steve Bug and Loco Dice) it’s more often than not Matt who gets the crowd into the groove.

Appearances have followed at some of the UK’s top clubs, from Ministry in London to Circus in Liverpool, and his efforts were acknowledged at the Welsh Music Awards in 2003 where he scooped the silverware for ‘Best up-and-coming DJ’.

Matt’s creative streak and ear for a tune have manifested in studio productions, notably the collaboration with Dave Mills on ‘Sick Strings’, his debut 12″ release on Ministry of Sound sister label Hussle in 2004.
