Self-confessed perfectionist Matt Joy has been seamlessly blending the deeper side of house since the early years of Cool House,from its humble beginnings at Las Iguanas to the jam-packed Great Hall and Coal Exchange events of recent times.

Those who’ve heard his mix CDs will concur that the effort he puts in to mixing vinyl makes for some timeless sets. And when Cool House goes deep (with guests like Peace Division, Danny Howells and Loco Dice) it’s more often than not Matt who gets the crowd into the groove.

Appearances have followed at some of the UK’s top clubs, from Ministry in London to Circus in Liverpool, and his efforts were acknowledged at the Welsh Music Awards in 2003 where he scooped the silverware for ‘Best up-and-coming DJ’.

Matt’s creative streak and ear for a tune have manifested in studio productions, notably the collaboration with Dave Mills on ‘Sick Strings’, his debut 12? release on Ministry of Sound sister label Hussle in 2004. More recent projects include a number of colloboration's with Cardiff based deep house producers Eyes Everywhere, which are due for release very soon.
