‘Work to the Beat’ is a hot take on bass house. It slams together punchy New Orleans hip hop vocals and dirty dubstep wubs and stabs that will leave you with permanent bass face. It explodes with energy from the first beat, and when you think it can’t go any harder, it catches you off-guard with a filthy trap breakdown.
About Shawn Matthew
Shawn Matthew has surprised the EDM scene by proving that Midwest America is hiding some of the hottest talent. He is playing out the underdog fairy tale that fans dream about. A middle-aged white dude who spent a lifetime tinkering with producing music and casual djing while unable to escape the comfort of a traditionally successful career as a statistician.
Fate decided it was his time to step forward when a near-death experience led to uncertainty about how much longer
he would have to leave his legacy as an artist. He abandoned his career, spent the nest egg to lock up for 6 months mentoring under some of the best producers in the world, then came out on the other side churning out the hits he spent years holding back.
His style is bass house with a razor wire edge. A longtime house DJ, he has evolved to lean into his influences of dubstep and hip hop. His production and dj set are crafted with a unique blend of surgical precision and heavy emphasis on improvisation (which stems from years spent as a guitarist in a local rock band).
Beyond music, he is widely revered as an expert in process engineering and statistics, winning awards for helping shape industries such as finance, oil & gas, and manufacturing. He left that behind to scale up operations for a globally viral business in beauty, and after laying low for many years, finally put his music production in front of a quickly growing audience.
At a personal level, Shawn Matthew is equally as enigmatic as his music. His relentless drive has brought him countless wild stories and near-death experiences around the world. When he’s at a party and not behind the decks, Shawn captivates people with quick-witted humor and is asked to retell his encounters. Shawn grounds himself as a loving husband and father, which gives him the stability and reason to be a stand-up guy both on and off stage.
