Born and raised in what could be considered as dance music's final frontier, Brisbane, Australia, Matt Kitshon started djing after his first hand observations of the cultural revolution that was the acid house era of the late 80's. In 2004 Matt relocated to his new home Shanghai, China, where he is now based.

After a strong affiliation with the music, stemming from a keen ear for early electro and breakdance sounds, before moving in to experimental beats and eventually various genres of house music. Matt's career as a dj began with "Millennium" at The Tube nightclub back in 1995. He is credited with developing and popularizing the breaks and tek sound that has contributed to the Australian dance culture, as we now know it.

It was through early experiences on both sides of the turntables that Matt was shown a way of life that immediately clicked into focus. From his earliest incarnation staging exclusive underground events similar to the now famous Thailand "full moon" parties, he became one of Queensland and ultimately Australia's most respected and sought after deejays.

Matt has played support sets for global acts such as Groove Armada [UK], Leftfield [UK], The Crystal Method [USA], Fatboy Slim [UK], CJ Bolland [GER], and Hybrid [UK]. He ;continues to be a feature on the Australian leg of the Ministry Of Sound, Gatecrasher, Dope on Plastic, and Renaissance world tour dates and has also appeared on the line up of major Australian festivals Big Day Out, Advenjah and Livid. Matt has supported almost every top international dj throughout his career, including Carl Cox, Sasha, John Digweed, Jeff Mills, Luke Slater, Derrick May, Roger Sanchez, Derrick Carter, Dave Seamen, Judge Jules, Dj Falcon, Graham Park, Steve Lawler, Sister Bliss and DJ Heaven to name a few. Matt has also toured to New Zealand for events such as Alpine Unity, New Zealand's largest outdoor dance party where he played support for Timo Mass and Austin Leeds, as well as international gigs in USA, Auckland, Christchurch, Queenstown, Manila & Boracay.

Matt held residencies in his home town of Brisbane at Viva, Port Office and MyBar where he demonstrated his ability to diversify and play deep, vocal house, whilst still spearheading deeper, darker sounds at The Monastery. At Quest on the gold coast for the first two years of operations, Matt was one half of the unique experience and atmosphere that was "Costal Connection". A concept combining two of Qld's leading DJ's with performance art to create both an audio and visual experience that set the standard of clubbing in the state.

As Matt's career progressed, he became sought after by clubs around Australia and played regularly at the infamous 'Sounds on Sunday' and Afterhours in Sydney, Amber and the Deen in Perth, The Embassy in Townsville, 1936 in Cairns, and Motown on the North Coast of Queensland. More recently, Matt's wealth of experience, talent behind the decks and knowledge of a successful dance floor have taken him to his new home in Shanghai, China where he currently demonstrates his ability to open up the ears of his audience and bring house music to the masses..

While Matt has the ability to flirt with most musical styles, it is his ability to blend and morph genres to create something unique that is his true strength. Central to this evolution, studio production became a natural progression for Matt with the completion of his fully equipped recording studio dubbed, Kitshon Inc., and D-Tek-Shon, an alter ego designed to represent his production releases and harder edge dj appearances.

The advantage of an array of experiences and exposure to different genres of music makes Matts expansion into production work an easy transition. Competing agendas with interests in electro tek and house have induced a creative tension unleashed in his work. By fusing pounding house beats with retro synths, he is able to re-invent the sounds he has been familiar with for so many years.

Whether producing or Djing, Matt is defined and inspired by his great love of music. Matt continues to confront the boundaries of music through his infamous performances and his depth of musical knowledge. His style and skill behind the decks is guaranteed to rock any dance floor, creating a phenomenal atmosphere and lasting impression.
