One of the greatest and most talented (yet underrated) electronic music producer of this century. Mat Zo earned his fame within the trance scene during the late 00s, where he was praised for his new modern take on progressive trance.
Jono Grant, co-founder of the label Anjunabeats (where Mat Zo's most famous works reside), recalled in a Reddit AMA that Mat Zo was one of the biggest influences to him and to trance music. But Mat wasn't just a one trick pony, he had so much more creative potential than just trance, and so gradually his music expanded to include influences from all sorts of genres. House, prog house, funk, dubstep, drum and bass, garage, breakbeat, you name it. His tendency to blend genres together, as well as incorporating his own wits and idiosyncratic touches, makes his music a one-of-a-kind.
In 2013, he released his album Damage Control, which imo is the pinnacle of Mat Zo. This album contains a diverse palette of musical styles and really reflects Mat's true creative potential. The most well-received song in this album is Easy, a collaboration with renowned producer Porter Robinson. But really all the songs are soo good! His second biggest album, Self Assemble, was released in 2016 where his creativity continued to shine. Now, he is not as prominent anymore, but sometimes makes an appearance on the face of Anjuna every now and then.
