The output from British talent Mat Zo has worn many hats over the span of his career including drum and bass, trance, progressive, and electro, but fans know that when it comes to this genre-bending artist, to expect the unexpected. Now with eight years of experience under his belt, Mat Zo is expanding his anything goes studio mentality as label owner of his Mad Zoo imprint. With a just cause for celebration, for the first time, Mat Zo and talents from the Mad Zoo camp are about to embark on stacked tour across the United States on the Mad Zoo Winter Roadshow Tour.

With releases dating back to 2006, you’d be hard-pressed to find a dance music fan who hasn’t heard of the name Mat Zo. Crafting dance floor hits like “Rebound” with Arty, “Superman,” and “Bipolar,” this past year, Mat unlocked another career milestone with the much-anticipated release of his debut artist album Damage Control.
Not one to sit idly twiddling his thumbs, Mat has been laying the ground work for Mad Zoo for a few years now. “I’ve always wanted a quicker outlet for my music, so awhile ago I decided to release some of my music for free on Soundcloud,” Mat explains. “The only problem with this is if I want to license the track out, or even put the track on YouTube, there has to be a label structure around it. The plans for Mad Zoo had been underway for years, so I decided to use the venture as a new way for me to release music quickly, yet still have infrastructure around it.”

Since the label’s launch, we’ve been groovin’ to releases like “Get Down 2 Get Up” with The Knocks and “Left To Right,” but in conjunction with the forthcoming tour in November, the Mad Zoo camp is unleashing “Ruffneck Bad Boy.” Sure to fill the dance floor with moving its ragga-inspired bass stabs, we’re sure you’ll hear “Ruffneck Bad Boy” when Mat Zo comes to your city for Winter Roadshow this November and December.
