Mat zo

Grammy-nominated electronic producer Mat Zo (Matan Zohar) crafts a heady blend of trance, house, and neo-disco inspired by his love of '90s big beat artists the Chemical Brothers and French house icons Daft Punk. Making his slow ascent with a long string of EPs and an Anjunabeats compilation, he issued his official full-length debut, Damage Control, in 2013.Born in London in 1990, Zohar is the son of painter Israel Zohar and violinist Wendy Caron Zohar, and the brother of singer Alma Zohar. Surrounded by a talented and musically inclined family, the young Zohar first picked up a musical instrument at the age of eight after his father gave him a guitar as a birthday present. He lived in Cleveland, Ohio until the age of 11, at which point Zohar returned to London and further explored his musical interests by forming bands and playing drums and bass. In his mid-teens, however, his attention shifted toward electronic dance music, with acts such as the Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk providing a significant influence. Zohar began DJ'ing around London and soon progressed to producing his own material. Creating catchy trance and progressive house, he released his first single, "Exodus," on a:LOUD Recordings at the age of 16. Soon enough, his productions captured the attention of established scene DJs such as Airwave, Andy Moor, and Markus Schultz, who would play his tracks throughout the latter 2000s. It was during this same period that major trance producers Above & Beyond and Lange were praising his talents, and Zohar continued to issue remixes and 12" releases. When not producing euphoric trance, Zohar recorded drum'n'bass under the pseudonym MRSA on Hospital Records.He soon found a home on the dance label Anjunabeats and issued several solo ventures and mixes. He saw his stock rise further when a collaborative track with Porter Robinson called "Go Easy" topped the Beatport Charts in 2012. That track would appear on his debut LP, which arrived in 2013, topping the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Damage Control went on to receive a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album and featured appearances by Public Enemy's Chuck D and singer Rachel Collier. Zohar returned three years later with Self Assemble -- released on his own Mad Zoo label -- which featured I See Monstas and Sinead Egan. The three-song Mad EP followed months later. Before returning to his own solo material, he branched out with a pair of electronic collaborations: Kill the Zo with Kill the Noise and the Mary Nixons with the Knocks. Those projects kept him occupied until 2018, when he issued the single "Vice" and the No Words EP. The next year, he released another EP, Tracing Steps. Zohar's third full-length album, Illusion of Depth, arrived in October 2020 on Anjunabeats.
