As CEO of one of the first and most recognizable Techno Labels to come out of Iowa, Matt Rissi is no stranger to the dance floor. With music experience spanning over 2 decades as a guitarist, a producer & most importantly... an explosive DJ performer, he continues to blaze his own path through this electronic jungle that he finds himself engulfed in on a daily basis.
As an In Demand DJ with a consistently booked schedule, he can be found on almost any given weekend behind a DJ booth freaking a mixer & a pair of decks for hundreds, sometimes thousands of screaming fans. His imprint's releases are getting hammered by some of the biggest DJ's on the planet while his talents shuttle him all over the country to share the stage with headlining acts that are respected the world over. With releases & licensing deals on labels like MusicMan, Enemy, Giant Squid, Klientele, Communique, Zuvuya & his very own Solar Cathedral Recordings, he's not showing any signs of slowing down while further seeding his sound throughout clubs & venues all over the globe.
When he takes over the controls of a sound system it’s easy to see why this Iowa Favorite has held his own ground while performing all over the United States alongside such Champion Heavyweight DJ's as Richie Hawtin, Drumcell, Chris Liebing, Donald Glaude, Frankie Bones, Radio Slave, Dieselboy, Derrick Carter, DJ Dan, Rabbit In The Moon, Terry Mullen, DJ Hyperactive, ESP Woody McBride, Dylan Rhymes, Elite Force, Bassnectar, Christopher Lawrence, Grooverider, The Atomic Babies, Stewart Walker & countless others. His groove is infectious, his capabilities are beyond technical & his future in the world of dance music is bright. Welcome The Solar Cathedral Mastermind as he enters the Upstairs spotlight for his second time.
