Matt Darey. If you don’t know the name you have to give your books another round, or just drop by your local club. Mr. Darey is responsible for a wide row of classic releases that seen light of day on some of the world’s most respected labels.

It’s been rather quiet around the chap the past year, but it was just the silence before the storm. Because Matt’s been busy with producing more of those goosebumping euphoric tunes that make it all the way to the hall of fame. Trance.nu had a word with him to see what’s to expect for the summer.


TNU: You’ve just given your old classic ‘Gamemaster’ from the Lost Tribe guise a refreshed treatment. How come you got about doing a new remix of it?
Just fancied it... I’m gonna do a lot of DIing this year so I need new material that rocks that no one else has.

TNU: Are there any other remixes in the pipeline of other old classics like Wizards of the Sonic, Point Zero etc.?
Point zero’s next.. It’s an old classic so I've got a couple of big names doing mixes aswell just for the crack!

TNU: Are you worried that people might see these re-releases as a bit commercial, a waterproof way of making money? What’s your thought on that?
Well I think re-releases can be tiresome if there crap but if they outshine or equal the original its not a bad thing.. With ‘Point Zero’ I never made a penny out of the original as it was my first record deal and I got a shit deal... I now have the rights to re-record it and well you never know.. Someone might buy it, but I tell you one thing, I’m gonna love remaking it whether it sells or not.

TNU: You’re also playing some of your new productions, like ‘Intoxicate’. What else can we expect from you in the coming months?
Yeah I’m keeping new tracks like ‘Intoxicate’ under my belt for my DJsets but I'll start filtering copies out over the next month.


TNU: Now that the summer’s on it’s way, do you produce more summery tunes or just keep to the regular Matt Darey style?
Well I never really did anything too dark.. Uplifting and energetic = summer....that’s me!!! :-)


‘Gamemaster’ and ‘Point-Zero’ in new shapes might just be the summer’s big hits. But for those of you that like to reject the recycle trend – even though this can be considered the legitimate part of it – Matt got quite a few productions up his sleeve. Expect more than just ‘Intoxicate’ to do the rounds!

Some interesting stuff there about one of the finest trance producers ever. Especially looking forward to Gamemaster and Point-Zero because they hold so many good memories for me. Not fond of rehashing and wrecking the classics or updating them for the sake of it but I think that he should do a good job in brining them bang up to date for 2003
