Artist info: Since 1994 Mat is the publisher of the international psytrance guide "mushroom magazine" and DJ... About four years he is playing solely on his Mac, with Traktor by Native Instruments. For quite some time he was a bit frustrated as a DJ, he was stuck in one place creatively speaking. Now he got many more possibilities. For example he can play up to four tracks or sample loops simultaneously, or use up to six independent FX channels by adding a Kaoss pad. Beatjump offers the possibility to jump forward or backwards in a track in time, or even work the way backwards through a track in reverse order. He interfaces with his DJ setup using a Vestax VCI-100 controller, which with it's dual Jog Dials and buttons what gives him the same feeling as if were using CD players. By expanding his or her possibilities using such hard- and software, he believes the DJ is slowly being transformed into more of a live act, instead of being reduced to a track selector.
