Recloose

New Zealand

The story of Matt 'Recloose' Chicoine slipping a demo into Carl Craig's sandwich has been firmly etched into Techno folklore stone, but that killer combo of Pastrami, Cheese and Motor inspired Jazz freakiness on rye led to his subsequent signing to Planet-E and the first fruits of an incredible musical output were unleashed. Fast forward an acclaimed debut later, some world touring with Carl's Innerzone Orchestra Band, an a chance meeting with a lovely lass from the South Pacific and Recloose found himself moving shop, trading in the urban decay of Detroit's downtown for the starkly contrasting beach vibes of Titahi Bay. Soaking up the Welli vibes and hooking with some of the local like-minded peeps, some block rocking collaborations were born and thus the world got a taste of Matt on a slight fuush 'n' chups tip - Hiatus On The Horizon. With a nomination for best Dance album at the NZ Music Awards in 2006, numerous nominations for the albums videos, and one of the biggest underground club hits of 2005 in the form of his link-up with Fat Freddy's own Joe Dukie, and the Recloose all-star band keeping floors rocking from London town to Welli-town, it's been a busy ol' time of late for everyone's favourite Ann Arbor ex-pat. Works already underway on the third album, and the first mutterings are sounding pretty damn tight, it must be said, the future's looking tighter than a Matterhorn lock-in. Churrrr!
