Slipmatt + Rave Support - Toby Spin Presents

When one refers to an artist as ‘an absolute legend’, ‘Godfather’ or ‘international hero’; more often than not it can be a term applied by the support of loving fans Worldwide or in some cases media hype that pertains to the artist in question being somewhat exceptional in their chosen skill on a global level.

Now, whilst the DJ and Producer and all round ‘international legend’ known as ‘Slipmatt’ is most definitely in this case one deserving of the titles ‘Godfather’ and ‘Boss’. Here’s the exception to the rule though, he did not give himself these names, these accolades were not created off the back of some 90’s hype campaign, the name Godfather – in reference to the ‘Godfather Of Rave’ is a name he has worked very hard for over three decades to earn, and earn it he most definitely has.

Slipmatt continues to play across the globe in the USA, Asia, Australia, Europe, every corner of his native UK for club events such as Raindance, Moondance, Fantazia, Clockwork Orange and more; at leading Festivals such as Glastonbury, Boomtown, We Are Festival and, a particular favourite of his, overseas visits to Ibiza where Slipmatt still to this day enjoys regular return trips to the White Isle’s most infamous hot spots such as Eden, Es Paradis and Benimussa Park (The Zoo).

Always staying ahead of the crowd, always with his finger on new music’s pulse and always, as ever, moving forward. Godfather Of Rave and still keeping it fresh? Absolutely.
