It has been 10 years since the platinum-award winning dance music producer and sound engineer, Matt Warren, has released any of his own music. During his decade-long hiatus, Warren has been producing, remixing, mastering the sounds for many of his clients. He’s won accolades for his work on the Mortal Combat movie soundtrack and three standout remixes at Warzone Recorders. While he was busy with other musician’s works, he began to urn for a project, record, and sound of his own. Being a large part of the Chicago house scene, Matt Warren’s sound encompasses the influences and sounds akin to the city of Chicago.
“This is my first release of my own music in ten years. I’ve been producing, engineering and remixing for others, but have not focused on my creative needs for a long time. I felt like I wanted to do a record that reflects my journey as both a musician and DJ. I really wanted to give that old school feel to the songs..I guess what I mean is to record “real music” with live instruments and arrangements…which are kind of a homage of all the music I grew up listening to.” – Matt Warren
