Born in Offenbach +m M+in in 1987, Matthias discovered in an early age his passion for electronic dance music. In 1999 he bought his first turntables and records. In the s+me time he started to contribute actively in producing and experimenting with music and played at various Party - at that time rather private and illegal ones. In 2006 he released his first record "The art of M" on Weave Music, which was a big hit in the underground electronic music scene and played by well known Dj's. It was just a matter of time until he w+s booked regularly on party internationally. His breakthrough came in 2008 when he was invited to play for various parties of the COCOON Brand by Sven Vath, in the same year he also released a track for the compilation of the Imprint. After that he traveled to and played records or live in Italy, Spain, France, Great Britain, Netherlands, Russia South Kore+, Japan to name a few. Since the first production steps he developed his production skills and split his music into various pseudonyms. His most up to date sounds are getting released under the name: CNTRL, POLYFAN POLYPHENIX, BINARY OPERATOR, STAR_DUB, MATT STAR but also works or has worked on limited projects like YAM YAM, STARBUG and some secret projects he doesn't like to mention anymore. As a Label owner he run different projects, too. Matthias describes his musical style as follows: “Everything I like“. He plays everything from Ambient and Trip Hop stuff to House and Techno – everything he likes, depending on the mood. In the clubs he mostly goes ahead in + pretty strict and determined way: "itʼs got to make people dance! it h+s to be groovy!" As passionate music+n he also is in high demand as a remix artist and is always busy creating new interpretations for other artists. In these days Matt focuses more and more on sound design and experiment+l music outside the club context but also stays true to his roots in techno and house of course.

Matt Star - Affair 37

After making its mark as a significant release on the Hummingbird By BPZ imprint, the Future Legend “Mental Menthology” LP sits comfortably amongst the collections of modern day electronic music fanatics, so it only seems fitting that this February the label will release a special remix package following on from the album. The three track remix EP meanders through fantastic productions from DoubtingThomas (Eastenderz, Organic), Georgios Papamanoglou (Deep Series, Mixx Rec) and label founder Benjamin Philippe Zulauf, all of these affiliated with the label in past times. 

Opening track “Tickling Whispers” is remixed by the established DoubtingThomas who shows no signs of slowing down in recent times. The remix consists of trickling and pensive synths that maneuver around a clean drum arrangement. The Georgios Papamanoglou D.S.R remix revolves around a slick acid bass groove, melding with the emphatic hi-hats, and flickering vocal, ideal for peak time sets. Founder of the label Benjamin Philippe Zulauf certainly does the release justice with his moody and mysterious twist on mentally undressing, chugging amidst a hazy morning of curiosity, and deep thoughts. 

Further exciting output from the Hummingbird By BPZ camp as they set their sights on a prolific 2021 across several vinyl and digital releases.

vi•sion quest (noun): a search for personal communication with the spirit world. 

Every mystical journey eventually comes to a fork in the road. The seeker of life’s destiny has two options: remain satisfied with whatever level of consciousness he has already attained, or push forward into ever-new domains of promise and possibility. 2014 sees dance music’s best-known spiritual pilgrims, the Visionquest trio of Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss, and Shaun Reeves, bravely embarking upon that wondrous journey. Each member of this celebrated DJing and production team contributes a distinct yet interlocking vision that together forms a seamless, organic whole. Just think of Crosson’s enthusiastic shuffle, Lee’s soulful stare, Shaun’s soft touch. Everything they craft has the same unmistakable flair: slow-burning, shape-shifting, expansive techno and house marked by compositional elegance and unabashed pop hooks.

Although long-time partner and co-conspirator Seth Troxler has stepped aside to pursue other projects, 2013 was the biggest year ever for the four. Inspired by the passing of the Mayan calendar, the group embarked upon Visionquest 13, 13 dates where the boys not only played together the whole night, but curated a true multimedia experience. From London to Buenos Aires, from the American hinterland to the Chilean wilderness, Visionquest 13 was a Freudian trip into the deepest recesses of the Detroit rave unconscious, what Ibiza Voice described as a “collective expedition into the depths of your soul”—but with a sophisticated, modern twist.

Their accomplishments are well-known and too many to list. For starters: a critically acclaimed 2011 Fabric mix; year-defining hit remixes for artists as diverse as Kiki, Wareika, Tracey Thorn, and David Lynch; showcases and dates in the biggest clubs and festivals around the world; and the creation of a now iconic-label that’s played host to dancefloor weaponry from the likes of Benoit & Sergio, Life & Death, Dinky, and Laura Jones—all this while each member maintained significant individual production and DJ careers. But, by definition, no journey dwells in the past. So in 2014 they launched Visionquest Special Editions, a limited-release, vinyl only label. Evoking the experimental sounds of the European techno avant-garde that first inspired the boys back in Detroit, the debut release, remixes of Montreal songwriter Quilla, features a stunning collaboration between Shaun and long-time hero Ricardo Villalobos. With Visionquest Special Editions we see the group at home at a breezy, gentle afterparty, not just igniting the club. As Visionquest winds around the corner into their bright future, they remain open and excited for what lies ahead.
