The Crystal Method Live!!


Colin Young-Wolff
This past saturday night i was lucky enough to be invited to a secret show that The Crystal Method put on at the Echoplex in LA. Ya thats right the smallest venue you could ever imagine with only like 100 people in there!! It was really fucking LOUD which was awseme. It was funny to cause just before that my friend carl and me were talking about how dj's are always afraid to turn it up fucking loud but TCM was not afraid at all!! My ears were ringing for days!

Colin Young-Wolff
Over all it was a great show and i felt honored to have witnessed the event especially since it seemed like everyone there were friends and family, label reps, reporters, industry people and some really dope fans that were all about TCM.

Colin Young-Wolff

The energy was great and i finally got to see Ken & Scott preforme live (i loved the divided by night song live! especially when they got on the vocorder thing).

Colin Young-Wolff
Here is the article LA Weekly did on the event and is also where the photos were taken that night.

What's in MSTRKRFT's DJ bag?


that shits dope! i want those earplugs! And props on the guys who thought of asking DJ's whats in there bags at gigs. You can find some really interesting things. Cool shit. and you gotta love JFK. GGGGGGEEEE! Good hair Gi for sure!

My first Song...


alright. well this is the deal. i just got reason 4 running on my computer properly and ive been collaborating with Pasha a little to work on new material and take a stab at making some music like we have always wanted. I am not making dance music necassarily, rather im making music that i enjoy. Its a little house, a little hip hop and a little ambiental. and pash, well he is makn thos bangers!! Hot&Sweaty is more my dj/club stuff and T.B.S. (The Beautiful Struggle) is gonna be my more melodic/hip-hop/techno/house stuff i like. 

The first is T.B.S. Theme which is sampling the MLK speech that i talked about before which was BEYOND Vietnam. It is a beautiful speech and is which i got my name from.

and these are just demo's. the mixing is really shitty but you will get the point. 



Pasha - Expressions <-----BANGER!!!!!

The Beautiful Struggle...


I will now go by the name T.B.S. aka The Beautiful Struggle when i'm producing music and will dj under the name Hot & Sweaty for now. I am both. It represents the 2 sides of matt. The deep an intellectual, artistic side and the party animal wild and crazy side. 

The name to me stands for a metaphor for life. It is something we all go through, Struggles. Yet life is such a beautiful thing and the struggles in life is what makes us who we are. The struggles are a part of life and you can not avoid them yet they are the things you learn from and grow from. To become stronger, better, smarter, faster. (lol i do love daft punk.)

The name came from the title of my favorite Talib Kweli album under the same name. It is the album that changed my life and opened my eyes to a different way of thinking and in my opinion was probably one of the greatest albums in the last ten years or so. Talib got the quote from the mighty MOS DEF which he stated, "Life is beautiful, life is a struggle. Life is a beautiful struggle."

He is also quoted in saying the quote comes from the great M.L.K. speech titled 'Beyond Vietnam'. 

"We must move past indecision to action. Now let us begin. Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter, but beautiful struggle for a new world. This is the calling of the sons of God, and our brothers wait eagerly for our response."

Listen to it here.

Jack Beats Saved My Night!!



As i was driving home last night i was thinking to myself about how at Hard Summer Jack Beats was the only act that i got to see (full set, but i did catch a few busy p songs also hard as fuck!) and i will tell you that shit was HARD as Fuck!

An even tho the event got shut down Jack Beats got down and did impress me with there Fidget/Dubstep set.

An if HARD did finish the night successfully the underground stage would have been fuckn amazing! The lights where insane and the speakers in the hall as you walked in where loud as hell and was really cool.

too bad hard sucked dick that night and got shut down.

Thanks Jack Beats for atleast putting a smile on my face!

Come Back to LA!!!!!
