Silent Disco Party and Live Set
Posted by j matthews in Mixes on June 25, 2012
Thanks to all that could make it to my gig at the Silent Disco arena at the River’s Edge Music Festival. It was an awesome time. Below you will find my recording that is downloadable.
There was some technical difficulties for the people who were at the event listening, but not on the recording so you will hear the whole thing without the glitches.
Thanks to Sound In Motion for having me out to play. It was a great time!!
WMC 2012
Posted by j matthews in Events on March 8, 2012
What up? Only several days away and I am already giddy about getting down and seeing some of the best DJs and Producers on the ones and twos. Coming up March 16th-25th is the 2012 edition of the Winter Music Conference in Miami, FL USA.
And whats going down? A shit ton, but what I am most excited about is that this is my first year visiting AND playing! So if you are down there and want to come say hi, this is what you do:
Go to this on Tuesday, the 20th at the Clevelander Hotel. I’ll be playing along side the greats such as DJ Mes, Kinky Movement, Corduroy Mavericks and many more!

Great Weekend!
Posted by j matthews in Events on November 7, 2011
I have to say, last weekend was probably one of the greatest weekends for House Music lovin IMO. Of course I am biased because I DJed two of the bigger events in the cities. I guess what I mean though is that being a part of these two events (even if I opened both of them) help build stronger my bond with House Music.
House music for the WIN this weekend for sure.
Friday Night “House Proud V.3″ at Honey:
Below is most of my opening set at Honey Lounge in Minneapolis, MN. Live recording with instrumentals by Chuck Love (honored!). There were 2 people on the dance floor at 10pm. buy 11:30 I would say close to 200 people were in this small club and groovin’ to the music. Both Brownie and Bryan Gerrard (Celebrity Records) played and god only knows how packed it got (I had to bolt a little early to survive).
Saturday Night HotDish “Throwback III – GLow Party” at First Avenue:
Saturday night was the long running HotDish party at First Avenue Nightclub in Minneapolis, MN. Holy crap was that a party too! I was a little nervous, cause this is the show that me and Nate Laurence are responsible, and after Friday night, I was a little worried that people wouldn’t come out because they were recouping from the House Proud show.
Boy was I wrong. This was an insanely fun party as you can tell from the picture below. It was indeed one of the best nights ever for HotDish. All the great costumes and outfits. One girl was glowing so bright from the black lights, she was burning my retinas (Ehem, Holly).
Natas, the second DJ that played that night threw down some classic tracks that I totally forgot about that still control the dance floor. Our closer and one of the best known DJs in Minneapolis and surrounding, E Tones, was an absolute GEM on the decks. When he comes through, just expect your body to be controlled for his entire set. Both were such a pleasure to have in and HotDish cant thank them enough.
One huge element that was missing though was Nate Laurence. Unfortunately he couldnt make it to this show. I felt really bad about him missing this. Plus he was so instrumental in making this happen too.
Maybe later I will update this post with my mix from that show (it was recorded live also). But for now, if you stare at the pic long enough, you will get an idea of how dope that was. To all that came out and partied, huge thank you. The vibe in there was incredible.

Facebook, You Suck
Posted by j matthews in News on February 10, 2011
Hey Facebook, I hope you are reading this.
Today my account has been disabled because they think that I am a “Fake Profile”. Really Facebook? Ive been using that account for 4-5 years and you NOW think that I am fake? Well, I hope we can get this situated because I am very real and I dont understand why you turned on me.
If its because I am a performer and that I am inviting my friends to events, then good god, about 75% of the people I am friends with on FB should also be disabled.
You suck and you know it.
Ok, now that I have vented. If you are reading this, I hope to be back on FB fairly soon. So hang tight.
BTW, go check out my Funk Yeah! FM site. I have a local guest that I am really excited about. Its going to be live and he is way better than facebook.

Last winter, I wasnt as excited, and made a winter mix to express my feelings towards it. Check er out here:

Can I get more specifics on the definition of co-partnerships?

J Matthews – Fuck Off (its 2004)
Posted by j matthews in Mixes on September 15, 2010
J Matthews - Fuck Off (its 2005)
Tonight, with the help of some friends who unknowingly encouraged me to dig into the pre “house music is dying” era, I decided to dig deep and get on the decks. Bad day at work + horrible traffic + stormy weather = J Matthews – Fuck Off (its 2004) mix.
I wasn’t around for the House Music Minneapolis music scene from 2003 – 2005. I was in Boston and most of these tracks were hot in the Boston underground house music scene.
All tracks are pre 2005, so a span of late 90′s to end of 2004. Enjoy!
Sorry, no track listings this time.

Enjoy!
Last Night was a Party!!
Posted by j matthews in Events, Mixes on August 22, 2010
Solera Rooftop Sessions was a great time. I got to play some great deep house music, some funky house music, and drink large quantities of tequila. Very special thanks to Patrick James and Big Momma J!
It was a great time and I have to thank all that came out and partied. I got a little tipsy, thanks to Mike B.
Next up, HotDish 1 Year Anniversary show! Woot!
For those of you not familiar with Solera Rooftop, in the summer time it is one of the best places to catch some of the best Twin Cities house music DJs. Dance music, for those who wonder.
