Matt Luminate

About me:

Macca Luminate has been at the fore front of the Perth rave scene since his first DJ sets on NYE 2006. Supporting the sounds of Freeform and Hardcore, In mid 2006 he was runner up in the Rise bedroom to Bigroom competition, catching the eye of Force Entertainment and quickly being snapped up to play his first official (Double) booking on NYE at Sunrise and Rise nightclub.

In the following year he went on to establish himself as one of Western Australia's fastest rising stars in the hardcore scene. Teaming up with Sydney ex pat Steve Whiskey he played every major rave and club party that Perth had to offer and placed second in the annual Perth Dance Music Awards in the Hardcore DJ category. It was during this year that Luminate got a taste for making the music he loves and he began to try his hand at producing.

2008 proved to be another strong year as he went on to play at huge events such as Insomniak 2, Reset 3, Nightmare 2, Sunrise 3 and continued to smashed the decks at Rise. Another successful showing in the PDMA's placing third behind hardcore legends Rousa & Hutcho shows that Luminate is proving himself to be one of the next big names in the Australian Hardcore movement.

During his time behind the 1's and 2's Luminate has had the pleasure to play along side some of the worlds biggest name's such as Breeze, Sharkey, Menis, Dair, Weaver, Darren Styles, Al Storm, Kevin Energy, Proteus and Scott Brown. A man on the up... With many upcoming Local & Interstate gigs and many different productions in the pipeline, including tracks signed to AWF and NSR, DJ Luminate is one name to look out for in 2009!

What other industry professionals have said about Luminate's productions:

"I really like the melody in this track. It is very elevating... This is a very good arrangement...You are a tune machine!"

- Kevin Enegry, Head Honcho at the NEC

"Wow production is getting better. Phatter kick and bass. Nice one!"

- Haze, Owner of Executive Records Australia

"Had a listen to the track last night.............I love it! Superb vocals from both people! A really good euphoric synth (i love strong powerful synths), there are one or two really good epic build ups in the track which create a sense of suspense and its got a wicked bass on it.
The actual tune overall is really good. I think this could be a very popular track!"

- Pharynx, Owner of NSR Redords
