In the Cartesian view of identity, the body is a container for our mind, personality and ultimately our soul. But what happens when technology allows us to transcend the limitations of physical reality as we know it? In a post-corporeal life, our bodies may no longer be confined to the rather cumbersome form of a human but instead a vast digital network. Matrixxman happens to be a proponent of this possibility. When he is not preoccupied envisioning the emergence of myriad artificial intelligence entities and endless virtual worlds within worlds, he also enjoys composing music. The essence of which is crafting new interpretations of something straddling the grey area between classic Detroit Techno and Chicago Acid House. "Resurgent techno atavism" as he prefers to call it.
In 2015, his debut concept album "Homesick" on Ghostly International received critical acclaim from the likes of The Quietus, Spin, and Resident Advisor. Meanwhile on the 12 front, a barrage of no less than 12 separate EP's within a two-year period ultimately secured him a home with Dutch tastemaker imprint Dekmantel.
Both his production and DJ style deftly run the gamut from frenetic percussive workouts to more emotive, euphoric ends of the techno spectrum. His music has been played by Jeff Mills, DVS1, Levon Vincent, R dh d, D.B.X, DJ Qu, Anthony Parasole, Joey Anderson, Richie Hawtin, and Larry Heard, to name a few...
