As new talented DJ's seem to be sprouting up everywhere while EDM continues to grow into the Jack-and-the-Giant-Beanstalk-esque of a genre amongst mass popularity, I decided it would be proper to put the spotlight and take one rising DJ center stage each week to examine their background, style, influences and of course notable projects of these Artists.
We start this inaugural weekly post with a groovy new artist, Moonlight Matters. If you had to pick one facet of the Belgium artist Sebastiaan Vandevoorde's style that makes him unique and worthwhile to listen to, it would be his repeated use of a loud, in your face, funky slap bass that appears on almost all of his tracks. Hypothetically, if Saturday Night Fever was a chick, and Revenge of the Nerds was a dude, and they had a kid, and that kid decided to be a DJ, they would end up pretty much sounding like our Belgium phenom. Vandevoorde seems to be the heir to the throne that artists like Aeroplane and Digitalism have created in the indie-house sub genre. Moonlight Matters definitely seems to be a name that will be repeatedly praised in the future; but I'll let his records speak for themselves:
