Back To Mine with Matteo Dimarr

The grooves that keep you rocking ’til dawn

Sneaker Pimps – Spin Spin Sugar (Armand’s Dark Garage Mix)
Probably one of the greatest remixes of all time.  This record never leaves my record box. A dance floor killer – raunchy vocal with a dirty bassline and filthy beats. My all time favorite house tune, it never disappoints.


Groove Armada – Superstylin’
Whenever I do vinyl sets this is the record that goes on first. It always sets the mood proper and the ladies love to dance to this…


New York – S.O.H.O. – Hot Music
Lord Jesus this record is still hot! That pounding kick drum & lazersnare pattern. one of my all time favorites. It never leaves the vinyl box.


St.Etienne – Only Love Can Break Your Heart (Masters At Work Dub)
There’s something really magical about this remix. This was my food in the early nineties. That memorizing organ riff has never left me.  A huge influence on what was to come in house.


Man Parrish – Hip Hop, Be Bop (Don’t Stop)
What can I say about this track? Probably one of a few reasons why I got into production..I remember hearing this in a ballroom in Toronto in the 80’s and thinking to myself that this was the future of music…and it was.  An early electro masterpiece!


Strafe – Set It Off
The 808 has never sounded better. The ultimate party song. I remember this was a big Toronto record. You would hear it everywhere.


Section 25 – Looking From A Hilltop (Megamix)
A record that was completely ahead of its time. On a good sound system this record destroys…This one always takes me on a journey…Those beats, those beats!


Malcom Mclaren – Buffalo Gals
When I was a kid I always thought and dreamt that I would be a rock star drummer. When I heard this song coming out of a boom box in grade seven that all changed..

 

Kraftwerk – It’s More Fun To Compute
F’ing haunting track. Makes me crazy actually. I’ve probably listened to Home Computer a thousand times and it never gets old. I am your slave Kraftwerk!

 

Trentemoller – Miss You
A perfect ending tracking to a long journey… until next time.

Matteo DiMarr feat Roland Clark ‘Can You’ (Club Mix)

SIZE Records sister imprint X is once again proving its diversity with this new track from Canadian house legend Matteo DiMarr. Featuring Roland Clark ‘Can You’ is set to be released on Beatport on February 5th and all other platforms on February 19th.

‘Can You’ combines modern elements of electro with classic aspects of house to create a forward-thinking groove. It’s most notable for its sampling of house legend Roland Clark, whose hypnotic speech recalls the spirit of early house music. Matteo DiMarr’s production aims to underpin rather than shadow the vocals in the main body of the track, before launching into a thudding bassline and low-pitched synth melody.

With his first release in 1991, Matteo’s career has spanned over three decades and his productions have previously topped the singles charts in France and Canada, as well as the Beatport House charts worldwide. Also the owner of highly respected label Jinxx Records, Dimarr continues to shine as an artist and curator.
