Here's the live recording of my set from this past Saturday for 'That Garage Sound' in Amsterdam. Great vibes to start off the new year! If you're after any IDs just drop a comment and I'll be happy to oblige.

Our first Undagrnd Freqz vinyl release is available to buy now from Juno Records and other selected record stores. https://www.juno.co.uk/products/scott-diaz-matt-the-best-of-both-words-vinyl/1047598-01/ Here’s what Juno had to say about the EP: “Matt Jam Lamont & Scott Diaz first joined forces more than a decade and a half ago and have been at it ever since, remixing Raze, Craig David, All Saints...

The 'Otherside' mix series returns with a brand new mix and a brand new look. If you don't already know, The ‘Otherside' mixes represent another side of what i’m about as a DJ and artist, showcasing styles that either I've been into for years but don't always get to play out, or that have nods to genres that have influenced my sound and direction, or are perhaps just more obscure types of vibes th...

Otherside 007 journeys across various styles of house with nods to UK Garage, 2-Step, Electronica and Jungle / Drum & Bass and is a collection of some of my favourite records to share. 'All Back To Mine' is based on the kind of vibes you'd hear if you came back to my place after the club or maybe for the pre-party, and is a good representation of some of my influences, musical heroes and/or most n...

I’m pleased to present Otherside 006 - Deepest Oceans. They’re all so fun, but putting this one together really was a joy. I mix them completely live and most of the time I've never played the tracks before so it’s all new in terms of how I attempt to make it all flow. I also try not to play a record more than once in any episode of this series. As you’ll know by now, each one follows a theme and...

Otherside 005 takes us into filter-disco-house heaven. As with all the other mixes in this series, this is by no means a definitive collection (there's several fantastic records and artists not included here - Cassius, Fred Falke and obviously Daft Punk immediately spring to mind), rather it's meant to be a curation of some of my personal favourites that fit the feel and vibe. You'll find a mixtur...

Otherside Mix 004 is dedicated to the warm up. That oft-misunderstood, but oh-so crucial opening set. With very few exceptions, it’s where we all start from and even though so much has changed in clubland and with the craft and culture of DJ'ing, the importance of a good warm up DJ to set the mood is still paramount. It’s a great opportunity to play a few of those under the radar finds, vinyl edit...

The ‘Otherside' mixes represent another side of what i’m about as a DJ and artist, always mixing LIVE and showcasing styles that either I've been into for years but don't always get to play out, or that have nods to genres that have influenced my sound and direction, or are perhaps just more obscure types of vibes that are geared more towards listening than dancing. As a DJ and music fan before an...

The theme for this edition is ‘jazz house’. There’s been an explosion of these jazz infused house records in recent years - some of it is made for the dancefloor and some of it is most definitely outside of those confines, but it’s an evolution which owes as much to crate-digging beatmakers like J Dilla and Pete Rock as much as any house producer. I see this style as a synthesis of jazz, soul hip...

Introducing the first in a new mix series! The 'Otherside' mixes will showcase genres and styles that either I've been into for years but I don't always get to play out, or that aren't suitable for clubs, or are perhaps just more obscure types of vibes geared more towards listening than dancing. Mix 001 covers Garage House, or 'House & Garage' as it might have been called. Mostly recent tracks wit...
