Slipmatt

Matthew Nelson (born 22 April 1967 in Loughton, Essex, England), better known as DJ Slipmatt, is a British electronic music producer and DJ. He was one half of breakbeat hardcore group SL2, who had a 1992 UK hit with "On a Ragga Tip".
Dubbed the "Godfather of Rave" these days, he was one of the key figures in the development of the early UK Rave sound as well as helping create Jungle and Happy Hardcore. He co-owned Awesome Records, owned the SMD and Universal labels, was signed to XL Recordings alongside The Prodigy, and has worked very closely with Ministry Of Sound over the years. These days Matt runs his own successful brand / label called "World Of Rave".
Resident DJ for Raindance since 1989 and then from 1991 Fantazia, Helter Skelter, Dreamscape, World Dance and tons more, he still plays all over the world on a regular weekly basis headling club events and some of the biggest Festival arenas around the globe...
Co-founder and DJ on Raw FM back in the late 80's, he also had shows on Kiss FM and many guest slots on various other stations including BBC Radio 1. Slipmatt has currently been airing his World Of Rave podcast show across Mixcloud, iTunes and 16 stations worldwide every week for over 4 years now. He has also recently started a very successful fortnightly House podcast called "Slip's House" which is going from strength to strength and can also be downloaded on Soundcloud.

Peel played Slipmatt's material via SL2 and his solo material in the 90's on his radio programmes and mentioned on his 05 August 1995 (BFBS) programme, that his son, Thomas, told him a few months ago that the school where he goes in Stowmarket, all the graffiti on the walls wasn’t sort of Oasis or Pulp or anything, neither was it Take That, but all the graffiti was in favour of a chap named DJ Slipmatt.
