Matt Xavier (Gruvhaus / Color Freq)
Matt Xavier's relationship with electronic music began in New York City back in early 1993. Following
his birth at NYC's infamous NASA club in Downtown Manhattan, he began street promoting for Long Island's nightclub Caffeine where he met
friend and confidante Michael "Blackwatch" Thomas. Together the two formed "Island Vibe Network" and began organizing illegal warehouse events
throughout New York's Tri-state area. In 1995 he organized the first European Goa-trance parties on the North American East Coast and later
founded New York City's first Psy-trance event company "Tsunami Productions". He would spend 4 years as music director and resident DJ of
Tsunami Productions and finally retired the psy-trance format following the 2000 millennium celebration. Eventually his soul re-acquired a
taste for house music inspiring him to adopt the tech-house production moniker known as "Gruvhaus". In 2005 he and childhood friend Sean Palm
founded the label known as "Railyard Recordings" who have hosted such world-renowned producers as Joel Mull, Cari Lekebusch, Alexi Delano,
Adultnapper, Simon Flower and Donato Dozzy. After residing in Berlin's wild Kreuzberg district for the 2007 season, he returned to the States
to begin his role as music director and resident DJ for North America's most premiere techno nightclub "Compression Los Angeles". And, his
journey continues... |
