Mateo Murphy - Winner of the Paul Van Dyk Rmx Contest!!!

I know maybe a lot of you know it... but didn't find a thread of this on the montreal Scene....

Congrats to Mateo Murphy!!

Last month�s Paul van Dyk remix contest saw over 500 aspiring producers remix PvD and Giuseppe Ottaviani�s single �Far Away�, with the top 15 remixes as voted for by the public having been sent to Paul.

A further 20 remixes were chosen by Beatport, and Paul van Dyk made the final decision as to which remix would make it onto his label Vandit Digital.

A winner and two runners-up have been chosen, and all three will be released on Vandit Digital shortly.

Winner: Mateo Murphy Remix

Name: Mateo Murphy
From: Montreal, Canada
Age: 33
Remix style: Progressive techno/house
Website: www.mateomurphy.com

�I�m totally ecstatic to win this competition,� said Mateo Murphy, who�s been producing electronic music for over 10 years.

Mateo Murphy�s remix is a driving progressive trance remix, and Paul has already played the remix on his radio show.

�I�ve released music in the past but decided to take a break from it, but this will bring me back into the spotlight and encourage me to get back into the studio.�

Mateo Murphy has released music on record labels such as Underwater, Thinner and Turbo, and he�s also worked with Tiga.

As well as having his remix released on Vandit, Mateo Murphy also walks away with a Pacemaker (portable DJ mix system), $100 in Beatport credit and a copy of Ableton Suite (including Ableton Live 7, Sampler, Operator, Electric, Analog, Tension, Drum Machines, Essential Instrument Collection 2 and Session Drums).

Good news for the Montreal Scene!

i love how modest he is about his production credits.

i'm really surprised he would make a trance cut, but i guess it just goes to show how diverse he can be.

congrats.

maybe this means pheek and him can open for pvd. i would consider going.

nice one Mateo

I for one would definitely like to see him produce more... he used to be one of my favourite techno artists! Haven't seen him in ages though, last time was probably at Aria.
