Recloose @ Snafu & MacSorleys Music Bar, 29 Oct & 30 Oct

New Zealand producer, Matt ‘Recloose’ Chicoine makes appearances in both Aberdeen and Glasgow on consecutive nights this month.

Promoting the release of his recent, third album Perfect Timing, the Detroit-born producer will show off his DJ style, which in his own words is “all over the show”. However, when pushed he admits to playing “…boogie, funk disco and the modern day derivatives… this is what makes me want to move and hopefully that enthusiasm translates to the audience”.

Since his move down under in 2001, Chicoine has moved away from the largely electronic feel of his Cardiology debut and embraced the opportunity to work with many of New Zealand’s talented musicians and vocalists to create a more song-driven sound.

Although he’s toured with a full band, on this occasion he’s spinning records, and unlike many DJs also likes to get on the mic: “It’s not exactly a revolutionary idea, but I think the crowd really appreciates a bit of tasteful and encouraging dialogue… It’s funny how many DJs have forgotten that’s how it all started”.
