FEATURED ARTICLE – Nu-Matic Interview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Matt Edward\u2019s alias Nu-Matic, has just completed his 3rd E.P. for XL Recordings. Previously known as Break The Limits his musical style has certainly changed since those early days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MATT \u201cWhen I was first making music (along with former partner Mel Tanur) the most important thing to us was to gain the respect of other people as artistes, we were making music solely for the hard-core raver. Now, I just feel that I would like my music to appeal to a wider audience\u201d. As an early exponent of the Reggae-Techno-Groove on the \u201cHard Times\u201d E.P. then to incorporate classical music for his \u201cSpring in My Step\u201d E.P. and now to be the first to use an old rare groove track on his next release, could we be right in thinking that Nu-Matic is trying to set some kind of trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MATT \u201cI don\u2019t see myself as trying to set any trends, I don\u2019t care if I do or don\u2019t. The ideas that I have used so far, I have had for years. In music I believe, there should be no boundaries that\u2019s why  you’ll find all aspects of music from Rock to Reggae, incorporated in mine\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu-matic\u2019s music certainly has that hard-core feel to it, but there are elements that could be interpreted as being \u201ccommercial\u201d. Could this perhaps lead to losing the respect that has taken him so long to gain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MATT \u201cTo be perfectly honest, if trying to be more creative and more original in the things I do is going to have me branded \u2018commercial\u2019 then I really don\u2019t give a shit. I\u2019m really just trying to make the kind of music that is still going to be around for years to come, not forgotten about after four weeks. As for the respect side of things, those people who matter will hopefully still respect me for not being scared to try something different\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as trying to do things differently on the musical tip, the PA\u2019s are certainly something to watch. Although some incorporate the clich\u00e9d Mc and two dancer\u2019s they definitely have a more professional edge to their performance\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MATT \u201cI feel that I have the best Mc in the business Mc Mc, and along with our dancer\u2019s (Smila and Naz), we really try to entertain and make our shows value for money\u201d. With his forthcoming release in mid November, entitled \u2018Body Fusion\u2019 Matt with the help of Mc Mc, has produced a more vocally orientated E.P. Is this a stab at proving his versatility as an artist to ensure he will be around longer than people think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MATT \u201cI am not trying to prove anything. It\u2019s my genuine love of music that has enabled me to adapt to the changes in the dance scene for the past seven years, so I don\u2019t see why I won’t be able to adapt in the future\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
