Musical talent isn’t prized enough in UK dance culture. While anyone can hire a studio engineer or sit in their bedroom and put together a sample/minimal house record, it takes real musical talent and a certain artistic intelligence to construct the type of productions that leave the mind of Matthew Dekay. It probably helps, that, like Sasha, he was classically trained as a child, and like Erick Morillo, he’s already had a very successful pop career at a young age, and subsequently turned his back on it…
Musically, you’d expect to find Matthew’s music in either Sasha, James Holden, or Morillo’s record boxes, that’s what raises an artist above the parapet – an ability to stamp their mark on a number of genres, rather than sticking to one sound. That is probably the only ‘progressive’ mark on Matthew Dekay. Whilst lazy journalists will undoubtedly pigeonhole him into that category, anyone with an ounce of musical knowledge or history will recognise that his sound harks back to the true progressive era of house music; when the term described forward-thinking electronic music, not the oft-mislabelled years when 9 minute drum tracks ruined the dancefloor for everyone.
Come see for yourself why Matthew has been championed by fellow world class DJ's and dance music fans alike, as the rising star makes his return to Vision!
