Matthew Dekay
Country: Netherlands


Matthew Dekay grew up in a musical family and started his musical career at a very young age. When he was five years old he started taking piano lessons for his musical development and at the age of twelve he began writing his own songs and started to explore his own style.
His other interest in electronics and technical aspects of music such as computers, modules, studio technics etc. grew. At that point Matthew started to take notice of dance music and visited lot’s of parties, while visiting these parties he studied the crowd and their interests.
Thanks to his ambition he started working in a studio in Amsterdam (ACE Records) as an engineer and beginning dance producer. In that time he met a couple of people whom he started his own company and booked a lot of succes not only as a producer but also as a dj and live act. He performed his clubhits in clubs all over Holland, for example in Marcanti (Cubic), Escape, iT and the “O”.
2000 was the year of a new stream of music and Matthew started another dream. After a year of preparation of the new Matthew Dekay sound, Sunblarity was born and released by One Star Recordings, label of Dutch DJ Erick E. A new friendship was developed with the One Star crew, in the meantime Matthew produced solo to create a recognizable sound for the crowd.
One of his productions “Lowriders”, has been picked up by DJ Danny Howells, Anthony Pappa, Lucien Foort to name a few and was charted in the UK Massive Charts @ nr. 3. Many records by Matthew have been put on albums such as Sander Kleinderbergs’ Essential Mix.
Right now he is working on productions in cooperation with Erick E, Mick Boskamp (nightlife reporter) and DJ Alvredo.
Even though he is busy producing keep your eyes and ears open for a touch of Matthew Dekay on the turntables.
