Matthew grew up very quickly and as a result much of his childhood has been consigned to history. What he does remember between bouts of dribbling is a great dislike for any kind of music that didn't have cowbell in it. Luckily a recent resurgence in the popularity of the heavenly instrument has allowed Matthew to come out of his self-imposed isolation and return the musical making ways that he was never popular for.
For Matthew, Floppy Disko is a way to force a disturbing new bastardisation of disco, pop and hip hop on the world by way of a catchy name, pretty graphics and a friendly manner. Its all a facade.
