Born in Offenbach am Main in 1987, Matthias discovered in an early age his passion for electronic
dance music. In 1999 he bought his first turntables and records. In the same time he
started to contribute actively in producing and experimenting with music and played at various
Partys - at that time rather private and illegal ones.
In 2006 he released his first record "The art of M" on Weave Music, which was a big hit in the
underground elecronic music scene and played by well known Dj's.
It was just a matter of time until he was booked regulary on partys internationally. His breakthrough
came in 2008 when he was invited to play for various parties of the COCOON Brand by Sven Väth,
in the same year he also released a track for the compilation of the Imprint.
After that he traveled to and played records or live in Italy, Spain, France, Great Britain,
Netherlands, Russia, South Korea, Japan to name a few.
Since the first production steps he developed his production skills and split his music into various
pseudonyms. His most up to date sounds are getting released under the name: CNTRL, POLYFAN
POLYPHENIX, BINARY OPERATOR, STAR_DUB, MATT STAR but also works or has worked
on limited projects like YAM YAM, STARBUG and some secret projects he doesn't like to mention
anymore. As a Labelowner he run different projects, too.
Matthias describes his musical style as follows: “Everything I like“. He plays
everything from Ambient and Trip Hop stuff to House and Techno – everything he likes, depending
on the mood. In the clubs he mostly goes ahead in a pretty strict and determined way: "it’s got
to make people dance! it has to be groovy!"
As passionate musican he also is in high demand as a remix artist and is always busy creating
new interpretations for other artists. In these days Matt focuses more and more on sounddesign and
experimental music outside the clubcontext but also stays true to his roots in techno and house of
course.
