Matt Paynter’s unique style of raw tech house, stripped back techno and tribal grooves has seen him rock packed out floors alongside A list DJs. He is currently a resident for Housework and Together and has recently joined Savage Artist Management. In April, he blew us away when he teamed up with Marcus Gauntlett to created Heat Control, our no.1 release of the month. The track received support from well-respected DJs: Tiesto: 5/5, Armin van Buuren: 4/5 (Epic!) and Judge Jules: 5/5 (Nice track, like it!). Matt told Club Beat he has plans to head back into the studio with Marcus to build on the success of Heat Control and will be starting a more prog based duo in the near future. He told us his set at Sugar Fest will be quite electro/techno in style, developing organically with the crowd’s responses. With some new tracks and collaborations in the pipeline, you can also catch Matt Paynter at Housework and Rubadubdub events.
