Matt Darey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matt Darey, who is from Leicester, England, has been a trance music DJ since 1994 and is considered one of the founders of the trance genre [citation needed]. He is also a member of Lost Tribe with Red Jerry. He is perhaps best known for his work in the Euphoria trance series and his remixes of the Lost Tribe's "Gamemaster" and Agnelli & Nelson's "El NiƱo".
In 2005, his first major U.S. albums, an EP, Point Zero (featuring the Li Kwan song of the same name), and a double album, Upfront Trance, were released. His works have sold a total of over 2 million copies. His ex-girlfriend, Marcella Woods, is often a guest vocalist on his recordings.
Darey frequently performs his trance sets at UK clubs such as Gatecrasher and Slinky, and over the internet through a monthly show on Digitally Imported's European Trance station. On August 13, 2005, he debuted a new show on Digitally Imported called Nocturnal, which became a weekly show in April 2006. [1] [2] Since Nocturnal became a weekly show, Darey has had guests such as Markus Schulz and Gabriel & Dresden perform guest mixes during the second hour of the show each week.
Darey owns a record label, Darey Products, featuring releases from himself and upcoming artists.
