Meet DJ/producer and electronic music sensation Matt Cerf. His first album with partners Shawn Mitiska and Jaren (Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren) is set to release in early 2010 on Armin Van Buuren's acclaimed Armada label. The hotly anticipated album will feature the hits “You Never Said” (nominated for a 2008 IDMA), “Man On The Run” (Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren's powerhouse collaboration with Dash Berlin), and “Beggin’ You”, tipped to be a massive hit (the Armin Van Buuren remix debuts on the Universal Religion compilation in September 2009)!
The French-Canadian producer/dj first made his mark in dance music as a member of Second Sun. In 2001, his track Empire caught the attention of mega producer/DJ Paul van Dyk. It was immediately signed to Vandit Records, landing the group instant notoriety and a spot on Quebec’s own Music Plus.
After a move from the snowy cityscape of Montreal to sun-drenched Los Angeles, Matt parted ways with Second Sun and embarked on a new direction with original productions like “Clearwater”, “Bent”, and “Miami Vice”. In 2004, he met producer/DJ Shawn Mitiska and the two started remixing tracks from the likes of Serge Devant, Eelke Kleijn, and Lange.
In 2005, Matt met singer/songwriter (and future wife!) Jaren and the two joined forces with Shawn to create masterful originals like: “Light The Skies” and “Saved Again”. “Light The Skies” garnered massive airplay from big boys Armin and Tiesto and consequently rocketed to a number 3 position on the Dutch Dance Charts in 2007. The track has since become a dance floor favorite and has been featured on dozens of compilations.
From this auspicious debut, Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren are one of the most featured acts on Armin Van Buuren's yearly compilation albums (A State of Trance and Year Mix) and have been nominated for International Dance Music Awards in 2007 and 2008.
Apart from his work with Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren, Matt is a prolific remixer, finessing tracks for Armin, Gabriel & Dresden, Lange and Matt Darey. As a DJ, Matt’s mastery on the decks fills dance floors around the world, from his home base of Los Angeles to worldwide locales including Egypt, China and Mexico.
