Mat Zo

With an artist father, a violinist mother and a singer sister, there was absolutely no way Matan Zohar was going to have a normal job. After being gifted a guitar by his father at age 8, Mat began to develop an interest in music and when he returned back to England as an eleven year old after a ten year stint in America, he added the drums and bass to his repertoire as he joined several bands.

Around this time though he began to take an interest in electronic music due to the influence of popular acts at the time such as Daft Punk and The Chemical Brothers and before long he began shifting his talents towards producing and Djing. He started grinding in his city, putting in work on the DJ circuit and furiously producing in his bedroom until he was picked up by Anjunabeats, the Trance label founded by legendary UK dance act Above & Beyond.

With the perfect home for his talents, Mat Zo’s productions began to pick up substantial critical acclaim. His collaboration with Porter Robinson hit number one on Beatport and paved the way for the release of his 2013 debut album, ‘Damage Control’. Featuring the talents of Chuck D and many more, the album was considered a sterling first effort, building his profile and allowing him to begin to tour prolifically. He has also released productions under the Moniker MRSA, a name which he uses to showcase more Drum and Bass leaning productions.
