1: General Introductions . . .

Hi, I'm Matt, I'm 26, I 'm here in Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand where I, um . . . do stuff, play out, promote gigs, write, do websites, y'know, get involved, make connections . . . I'm keen to meet people who want to make progress with music and culture and generally aid the development of providing proper access to underground electronic music . . .

Because I make lots of different music . . .

mainly I play out and make funky soulful Drum'n Bass as Romantech

and make downbeat electronica and "post" Trip-Hop as Further . . .

but I also have two side projects focusing on Electroclash and Shoegaze respectively that ended up branching out to become a fully fledged fictional scenario - check out
