Description
In 2004 Matt began his career with music and started playing house parties, no fancy DJ decks, just 2 DVD players, a CD collection of mixtapes he burnt from his PC with music downloaded from Limewire and the hifi speakers out of his parents’ living room.
Influenced by the likes of Solardo, Jauz, Carl Cox, Will Sparks and Skrillex you can expect nothing to be a cookie cutter from Matt. He has since then played all over Australia and hosted multiple radio shows and podcasts working with Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk and a large catalogue of producers from all over the world.
After over a decade of playing other people’s music in clubs and his shows, Matt decided it was time to release his own sound. With support from some big names on the scene or his early releases plus, already having ‘The Underground’ signed with an established label, things just keep looking up. Matt has a stack of releases due to be coming out; you can expect a new track from Matt every month. It won’t be long until you see Matt on main stages at the world’s biggest festivals.
Spotlight Radio is broadcast at 6pm AEDT Mondays across the KissFM Australia network. Matt shines the light on the biggest in everything dance music from home and abroad.

Complicated by Matt The DJ
EPISODE 40!!!!
Here we are, the big 4-0. While most 40th celebrations consist of aunty Kim drinking to much Prosecco and screaming out Love Shack to the whole party after stealing the cover bands microphone I’ve elected to go a different route….
Up this week is Melbourne young gun/up and comer/one to watch, DYSO. I personally haven’t seen DYSO play a set yet in person however, I have seen the 30 minutes of instagram stories from numerous punters filming him live in numerous club on a Saturday night including; • Infinite @ Infinite Lounge & Dance club, Cocktails and Techno @ DaHa, Levels @ Brown Alley, Dangerous Goods Unleashed @ The Timber Yard, Pockets @ Pockets Bar, Code @ Royal Melbourne Hotel, Tramp Fridays @ Tramp Bar & Magic @ Inflation.
For a kid that is only 19 this is the kind of following you would expect to see from someone on a Main-stage at a premier festival. Not sure if it’s his hard hitting early morning techno that brings true to the spirit of the Melbourne underground or his perfectly sculpted mullet, this guy has something special and I would expect you will be seeing a lot more of him in the years to come on the local scene and abroad.
Don’t miss a chance to experience the true sound of Melbourne in this episode. Check out the full interview with DYSO here; https://kissfm.com.au/guest-mix/dyso-interview-guestmix-spotlight-radio-with-matt-the-dj-mon-6pm

EPISODE 39!
Kicking off 2021 with a bang with the start of a long list of guests coming up on the show.
Most kids preferred to run in herds, shuffling through malls, hunting down cell phone accessories and gorging themselves on cocoa milkshakes. Over hundreds of days, through a process of natural selection, these impotent traits were discarded. A new human animal was born. His pack mentality was replaced with a new urge to think and act freely. The overwhelming desire to conform was traded for a willingness to stand alone. Alas, just as it has always been, the old world shunned the new and the boy was always destined to be Friendless.While his peers lived normal teenage lives, trading pogs and hiding their erections from their maths teacher, Friendless lived in the shadows, watching and learning. He found that the only way he could communicate with the world was through music. As the boy grew up he developed a soulful electronic tone that was unique, like whales having sex on Quaaludes. The world finally started to take notice. The Friendless legend is growing; it’s only a matter of time until he touches you just the way you like
