Matt Farley began to develop his craft as a DJ 9 years ago, taking a bedroom set up into practise and kept a keen eye on the clubbing scene to find a whole new outlook on advancing his musical abilities. From an early age Matt had an aspiring passion for collecting music and has a strong Hip Hop & House influence from pioneers such as Cypress Hill and Snoop Doggy Dogg.

Whilst following the scene with inspiration from the likes of DJ's Andy Ward, Glen Woods and Tuff Jams, who were back then making adamant amounts of noise in the 2Step Garage scene, Matt perspired to be a successful DJ.
