Slipmatt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Slipmatt (b. Matt Nelson) is a famous happy hardcore producer and DJ based in London, England and was one half of rave act SL2 (along with John "Lime" Fernandez) who had a number two smash in the UK in 1992 with On A Ragga Tip. Slipmatt plays at most Fantazia, Raindance, Moondance & Slammin Vinyl raves. Mainly plays oldskool style rather than happy hardcore these days, but one of the most respected on the scene, also known as the "Godfather".
[edit] Trivia
Before being a happy hardcore and oldskool DJ, Slipmatt used to be a chef in a Little Chef on the A405 in between Watford and St Albans, UK. He was a master of scrambled eggs on toast.
DJ Slipmatt was responsible for The SMD (SlipMatt's Dubs) series of 12" records, releases numbers 1-5. SMD 5 had a very limited run and is collectable to Happy Hardcore Fans. Other notable releases include Breaking Free/Hear Me on Awsome Records. Slipmatts remixes include "Crowd Control" by Ramos Supreme and the Sunset Regime on Hectic Records and "Take Me Away" by Jimmy J and Crul-t on Kniteforce Recordings.
