Biografie
Matt Bowdidge is quickly becoming one of the most recognisable and exciting new names in trance music today. Since bursting on to the international scene a few years ago, the Australian to UK import has been defining his sound of uplifting melodies, sublimely fused with pounding base lines, that has seen well deserved support from many of the world's most established producers and DJ's. As one of the most likeable, passionate and hard working artists in the scene right now, Matt has had multiple releases on numerous world renowned labels, which has seen him propel very quickly up the trance ladder.
Matt started his journey by opening a Discover Records account, delivering a stunning 2 track debut E.P, which 'immediately caught the eye of the Discover A&R manager" Activa. 'Crossing North', a powerful journey of melodic sounds accompanied 'The Path' - the darker B side described by the label as a 'tougher track with a haunting ethereal vocal line'. With both tracks setting out to define Matt's sound, strong support followed by the worlds elite. It was no surprise that 'Crossing North' then featured on Armada Music's '2011 top 50 summer trance' complication, capping off an excellent first release.
Matt was then chosen to remix 'Tayrona' by Sly One vs Jurrane. Matt superbly crafted his own take on the track, again receiving huge support and even took a spot on Manuel Le Saux's 2011 compilation 'Underground Anthems 4'. It was soon clear why Matt was becoming a huge favourite.
Subsequently, Matt followed up with his next single 'Slip Back', which took things up a notch, grabbing the attention of the worlds number 1 DJ, Armin van Buuren, with a play on his radio show 'A State of Trance'.
Matt was then deservedly asked to mix the next 'Chapter Three' compilation album, which included a few cheeky reworks and edits, to celebrate Discover releases 61-80, an album that had seen the likes of 'Sly One vs Jurrane' and 'John Askew' as its previous successors.
With his unique sound starting to fill the speakers of Trance fans all over the world, Matt then followed up with 'No Room To Breathe' – one of his most eagerly awaited productions yet. The track didn't fail to deliver and as a result, was handed picked by one of the world's most respected Trance duos 'Aly and Fila' to feature on the 'Future Sound of Egypt Volume 2' album, lining up along other huge names such as Orjan Neilson, Bjorn Akesson, Arctic Moon and Orkedia. Subsequently, the track also found itself on the main playlist of Armin van Buuren's ASOT radio show twice as well as being dropped no fewer than 3 times at 2012's A State of Trance 550 celebrations in front of more than 50,000 worldwide clubbers.
All of this then set Matt up perfectly for his second compilation album, Volume 5 of the prestigious 'Underground Anthems' series. The album mirrors one of Matt's sets perfectly as it moves through the gears starting with a Matt Bowdidge intro rework of the blissfully anthemic 'No Way Out" by Activa, building towards its harder tech based conclusion, paying accolade not only to Matt's ability to mix, but to his keen ability to program the perfect set.
Matt's also had numerous releases on Indecent Noises label 'Mental Asylum Records' with partner in crime Phil Taylor, under their 'Bowdidge & Taylor' moniker. With huge releases such as 'Power Cut', their remix of Bryan Kearney & Indecent Noise's 'Uncommon World', 'Firecracker' and 'As It Should Be', it's easy to see why these two world-class producers are making a huge stir in the scene. Becoming a huge favorite with Armin van Buuren and more of the scene's elite, these two seem to do no wrong. Summer 2013 sees a lot more from these two and also from Matt by himself, back on 'Mental Asylum Records' and also on the world class 'Monster Tunes' imprint.
2013 has already been a huge year so far for Matt, having toured Australia, Argentina, Poland, The Netherlands, Czech Republic and Spain. And with tours over the EU summer, in Scotland, Europe and the USA, it's safe to say Matt's in hot demand.
As well as his monthly 1 hour radio show 'Frequency', airing on Afterhours FM, 2013 is continuing to look to be a huge year for Bowdidge. With many more live performances, productions and collaborations hitting the scene soon, this is one artist that will be familiar to Trance fans across the globe.
