Matt Warren steps out into the spotlight with Music Is My Life, his new disco-house album.
Clearly inspired by the best, this longtime Chicago-based DJ has taken it upon himself to pay homage to some of the greats.
Warren has been a producer since 1984, when he released his first single “Rock The Nation.”
This inspired him to cofound Sunset Records in 1985, which released several house classics. However, in 1987, Matt resigned from Sunset Records and founded AKA Dance Music.
The first single that AKA Dance Music released was “Bang The Box”, which sold over 50,000 copies in America. “Bang The Box” was the first of seven singles that AKA Dance Music released between 1987 and 1988.
“This is my first release of my own music in 10 years,” he said. “I’ve been producing, engineering and remixing for others, but have not focused on my creative needs for a long time. I felt like I wanted to do a record that reflects my journey as both a musician and DJ. I really wanted to give that old school feel to the songs.”
Warren succeeded, creating a record he and all lovers of disco can be proud of.
