Forbidden TØNË 01: GMJ & Matter

Forbidden Tone 1 with GMJ  & Matter

ARTISTS

GMJ: 

Gavin Martin, also known as GMJ, has been a prominent figure in underground electronic dance music for two decades, forging a successful career as a DJ, event organiser and producer, Gavin is a pioneering force in the Melbourne scene and has performed in all corners of the globe.
Playing alongside some of the world’s leading names in deep house and progressive, it was natural that Gavin would one day bring his passion for hypnotic soundscapes and deep groves to the studio setting, In 2007, the GMJ project was born and he has since released on iconic recording imprints including Proton Music, Replug, Sudbeat, Anjuna Deep, Particles, Baroque, Balkan Connection, Iboga, Flow, Open Records and many more.

Spacious yet powerful, the GMJ sound has been supported by names like Hernan Cattaneo, Cid Inc, Guy J, Nick Warren, Jeremy Olander, Dave Seamen, John Digweed, Dousk, Eelke Klein and Kasey Taylor, and regularly features on the front pages & charts of the world’s biggest dance music retailer Beatport.com. 2016 saw GMJ's standing within the upper echelons of global progressive house confirmed with a nomination in the best of Beatport awards, and his monthly radio show “Future Memory” beginning & regularly featuring at the upper end of the charts on Proton Radio.

The end of 2017 & beginning of 2018 looks bright with gigs confirmed in Europe & Sri Lanka, as well as Sydney with fellow craftsmen, collaborator & good friend Matter! 

Matter: 

From humble beginnings as a self confessed vinyl addict and DJ, rocking the clubs and festivals of London and Melbourne, Matter now finds solace in his studio sculpting raw sounds into complex waveforms. With each production, Matter sets out to build a rich emotional collage for the audience complete with deep atmospheres, hypnotic percussion and blissful motifs, all helping to achieve his vision of facilitating an altered state of being for the listener and a stronger connection with those around them.

As a live performer, Matter brings his own unique energy, along with an assault of controllers & drum machines, engaging the crowd and shaping each performance into its own distinct experience. With releases on Anjunadeep, Proton and JOOF Recordings, to name a few, and forthcoming releases on Replug, Matter is one artist to keep an eye on well into 2018.

A recent collaboration project with GMJ (@gmj-fulcrum) signals an exciting sonic meeting point with many more releases and remixes planned for Proton Music in the not to distant future!
