Matthias Meyer, born 1981, DJ with passion: He grew up in the province of Germanys Lower Saxony. To be more exact: In the dance music nowhereland between Lueneburg (eng: Lunenburg) and Hannover. Living in such places music is the usual way to take the city home. And so should it happen that the City triangle Chicago-Detroit-Hamburg became deciding for Matthias Meyer. Chicago and Detroit, these cities were equivalent to vinyl-pressed promisses and Hamburg was the next reachable City showing a kind of nightlife and many-sided music scene.
The "Hamburger Schule" and Hip Hop, determinant for the nineties, have been extended for a widely branched, fast growing club scene, in which he was involved as a DJ and producer even faster than he ventured to dream.
But first the province has to be presentable. In 2003 he and his friends established the DJ collective sfunkt, among others also with his brother in mind Patlac (Eminor Records), who he got to know in his home village in the middle of the nineties. With Patlac he organized a lot of evenings in regional clubs and so he brought a bit of hope into this nowhereland.
With a lot of engagement and passion sfunkt became a big part of regional dance culture. They attract attention with their rousing, various and groove-minded sets.
Being up to date the boys around sfunkt became typical for their generation, which helped the electronic music scene to a decisive changing of direction with its understatement. Keeping an eye on the dancers was a decisive fact for Matthias Meyer getting national and international bookings, with great pleasure together with his colleague Patlac.
Another cause for his success are his releases on the Hamburg based label Liebe*Detail, which brought out his debut 12” “Reichenbach” in January 2006.
The track, an energetic rave monster filled national and international dance floors with enthusiasm. It became # 3 in the “Groove” magazine charts and was responsible for the biggest success of the label Liebe*Detail. His second release "Voltage" came out on the same label and went back to the success of “Reichenbach”. That proved that we have to count on the sympathic German in the future.
While being booked all over Europe, he also remains loyal to his region: Since May 2007 Matthias Meyer, Patlac and a female friend organize their own club series in Lueneburg called “Wake Up!”, which ventured to specialize on the actual club sound.
Watch out! There’s more to come!
