Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, my life has revolved around the Seattle electronic scene. Now with 6 years behind the booth, I enjoy keeping the dance floor alive with my unique style of blending tribal, electro house and progressive beats.

My current residencies include the Cuff Complex Bear Heat and Gear Night, STRAPPED, and Eagle Bearracuda.

I also have available booking for club and cooperate laser projections services.
Booking and Pricing available online at: Pacific NW Laser Service

If you are interested in availability and booking, contact me at 425-954-7684 or email mattatya@hotmail.com

2011 flew by so fast and now we are already into February 2012.  Sorry I haven't posted in a while.  Along with weekly gigs and travel, I have been working on a Film Festival with Sno-GLOBE Equality Alliance . The Event was January 29th and was a great success thanks to all the volunteers and supporters of our coalition.  I also want to shout out to to sponsors including SeattleGayScene Blog , Everett Herald and Seattle Gay New for helping us get media coverage and ad space donations in your blogs and readers.

Another great fundraising event coming up in Snohomish County is Snohomo Bingo TOGA TOGA February 25th.  If you haven't been yet but have been hearing the buzz of fun with host's entertainment ETHEL!!, and tacky fun theme check out our Facebook event page and pick up tickets at BrownPaperTickets.com.  All proceeds go to support GLOBE youth group and AIDS Project Snohomish County. 

Alright now let talk music and dance!  2012 is already booking ahead for me and I'm excited be adding new dates and gigs this year.  There are lots new nights and headline events in the works so keep checking back.  Also a new website will be replacing this temporary blog soon with new features, announcements and easy access to studio and live club mixes for 2012.
