What is even more exciting is that this compilation also includes Matt’s cover of the club classic 'Dreamer' by Livin’ Joy, recorded with producer Ross Orton (MIA ‘Galang’ producer) and singer Nesreen Shah (Lady Cop ‘To Be Real’ Vocalist). The simplistic but driving breaks and keyboard lines are the perfect lo-fi backdrop to this rave classic for these eclectic times.
Matt began DJ’ing before he picked up sticks for Arctic Monkeys, with big dance tunes of the day, So Solid and Dr Dre on the playlist in his bedroom set up. Having returned to the wheels of steel, this year has seen him playing at Ibiza Rocks and Field Day and also producing remixes for Artists as diverse as Roots Manuva, We Are Scientists and Duran Duran.
The Late Night Tales mix starts off with the cinematic ‘Connexion’ by Goblin runs through hip hop from Roots Manuva and DJ Format, classic proto punk from The Stooges and Jonny & The Hurricanes while the finale is saved for The Rapture’s epic ‘Olio’ which Matt knew he always wanted to end the compilation with. But that’s not quite it, with an exclusive story ‘A Choice Of Three’ penned and narrated by Alex Turner; it’s the perfect end to another brilliant Late Night Tales.
