“This whole genres business is like the Berlin wall, and I’m there with a forklift and a wrecking ball” Mat Zo
At 23 years of age, Mat Zo is part of a new breed of precocious, unrestricted DJ/producers that are making big noises without the one-dimensional genre blinkers of old. In the last 12 months alone, the London based producer has seen his boundary-blurring productions like “Bipolar” and his latest missive - the big room melodic funk anthem "Easy" with partner in crime Porter Robinson - dominate the Beatport charts.

As anyone who follows his colourful twitter feed will know, Zo is a ranter as well as a raver. Laid back but full of creative fire, he’s still the music obsessed joker that his mates have always known – but somehow seems like an elder statesman at the same time. As a prodigious teenager, he took both the drum & bass (he records for Hospital as MRSA) and trance scenes by storm. Now armed with a discography of hits that would put some of the longest standing producers to shame, he has gone on to remix pop princess Kylie and become a leading light in both the drum & bass and trance scenes – occasionally topping the Beatport charts in both genres at the same time.

Zo recently announced that his debut album Damage Control would be dropping this fall via Astralwerks/Anjunabeats. The album, which features previous singles like “The Sky,” “Easy,” and “Pyramid Scheme,” is sure to defy any genre limitations and conceptions of pop versus underground as Mat Zo’s knack for melodies and increasing songwriting skills could transcend that debate all together.
