interview with MATT SHADETEK




Matt Shadetek is one of New York City’s most exciting producers. His live sets encompass contemporary dancehall, UK funky, and dubstep, all delivered with Shadetek’s unique production voice which bridges the underground-mainstream divide. He’s one of the rare DJs who can rock a crowd with sets composed solely of his own dancefloor bangers and remixes.
