A Northern lad through and through, Matt’s friendly, smiling manner belies the hard-as-nails, uncompromising nature of his music. His sets are full of fast, fun-fuelled NRG and always have dance-floors full to the end.

Matt had been DJ’ing for several years before he made his real breakthrough in 2005, after sending Will Paterson (promoter of Frantic) a demo of tough, energetic filth. Matt soon received a booking to play for them in the Foyer at Hard House Academy.

It didn’t take me and the other Summit promoters long to see that Matt possessed a talent that needed to be put in front of clubbers. He has a great presence as a DJ, and is a full fire hard house DJ. His mixing is exceptionally tight, and the energy that he emits through his crowd interaction is definitely felt by the crowd. Summit will certainly be continuing with booking Matt at its future events – Jason, Summit

Other nights soon followed suit, and Matt began playing at events like Storm, Sundissential and Tasty. Residencies at Parlez Vous? in Bradford and Cyberkitten in the Midlands have secured him an even bigger fan base.

Matt has several tunes already out on leading labels such as Deprivation and Nosebleed and received brilliant feedback from his peers on his collaboration with Tom Parr; “Funky Music”. More of his productions are due to be released this year and are guaranteed to storm the charts. Another big achievement was to have his remix of Ewok’s “Go Back” released on the Tidy Bootlegs & Blags CD album in 2007.

He runs 2 hard dance labels together with Andy Rise – “Hard Up Digital” and “Hard Up Funk”, with the first 3 tracks to be released hitting the top 20 downloads on Tidy Digital within 2 days of launching.

So far in 2008 Matt’s career has gone from strength to strength. Beginning at the Frantic NYE party and Goodgreef / Sundissential NYD, he and his b2b partner Andy Rise then played main room at Tidy Weekender and Ministry of Sound. They have now been signed as b2b duo “Pickup & Rise” to UDJs and have a host of big main room gigs lined up – including Koko in London - as well as more intimate events across the country.

The future looks very bright for Matt Pickup - having earned the respect of his fellow DJs he’s now setting his sights for the very top, and with the diary filling up fast it looks like he’s going to reach it...
