Extraordinarily slick and celestial trance/dance tunes ritually emerge from the mind of Matt Darey, whether he’s producing or DJing the ever-expanding Nocturnal Radio show. Chemically separating the atmosphere of trance to fuse with the tonal palette of '80s dance, Darey’s tunes are reminiscent of Fluke and New Order simultaneously. By extracting the sappy from the romantic, they pulse without being frantic.
Matt Darey announces the forthcoming release of the first CD from his worldwide radio show, Nocturnal Radio, on August 28th, 2007 on The Twisted Group/KOCH Records.
Nocturnal Radio is the first mix compilation from the fastest expanding Dance Radio show in the world, currently broadcasting on over 114 FM radio stations. The Nocturnal radio show is a 2-hour weekly show presented by Matt Darey in which he covers the best new tracks from all genres of dance. Its massive success is attributed to Matt's selection of the freshest new sounds without the constraints of more specialist shows.
"The Nocturnal radio show has been a creative lifeline for me, allowing me to explore the many diverse genres of dance music from Progressive, Electro, House, Trance, breaks and more.
