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.
Matt's early love for hiphop and dancehall along with edgy electronic sounds led to his Warp Records debut album Burnerism as part of the duo Team Shadetek. While Matt was living in Berlin and touring Europe, the followup LP Pale Fire was released, featuring the underground hit "Brooklyn Anthem". The hit song kick-started a dance craze in the Brooklyn reggae scene (leading to over 100 fan videos of kids dancing to it).
Returning to NYC, Matt founded the Dutty Artz label/production crew with DJ /Rupture. Shadetek produced Jahdan Blakkamoore's debut album, Buzzrock Warrior (!K7), pioneering its signature reggae-dubstep-rap sound. In 2009 he also teamed up with Rupture to release the mix album Solar Life Raft (The Agriculture). His latest release, on Dutty Artz, is Flowers, an effervescent solo instrumental effort that references dubstep, uk funky and garage. He has toured internationally both solo and accompanied by Jahdan as vocalist.
