Matthew Bandy grew up surrounded by the sounds coming out of the nearby Motor City and the many 45's from his parents record collection. These sounds were to become a determining factor in defining his musical approach today. Bandy's communion with house music has now brought him to international recognition. Remaining true to his musicality, Bandy has interwoven passion and originality through his creative ambitions in djing, producing, promotions, and operating a record label.
In the early 90's Bandy was introduced to Dance music through the Midwest rave scene, a melting pot of sounds encompassing Techno, Hip Hop, Disco and House. Bandy travelled to parties around the country which developed his musical influences from Chicago, Detroit, and the East and West coasts.
In 2000 Bandy created the live act, Deep House Souldiers. This was a creative partnership with Joel Hopper, now producer for Nappy Roots. In 2003 Matthew formed Limestone Recordings and moved to Denver, CO. Deep House Souldier's went on to release, "This Is Why We Dance," on Matthew’s own Limestone Recordings which was licensed to Ben Watt's "Buzzin' Fly Vol. 1" compilation. His label was also featured in Urb Magazine's 2004 "Next 100”. Now he has released a wide range of music on labels such as Soulheaven, Papa Recordings, Foliage Records, Seasons, and Tribe as well as worked with the likes of Josh Milan, Chez Damier, Dave Lee, Toni Economidies, Reel People and Aaron Ross to name a few.
You can find his music on compilations worldwide licensed on Defected, Universal, Om, Astralwerks, Large Records and many more. Now living in London, Matthew is living proof that no matter where one resides, originality and dedication is more important than ones locale
