Grab the Crew - Here Comes the Mad Zoo on the 'Winter Roadshow' With Mat Zo and Disco Donnie Presents
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.

We're Sending a Special Thank You Shout-Out to the People who Made Something Wicked Happen
There were many performances that we enjoyed this past weekend at Something Wicked, but not every one of them took place on stage.
Behind the scenes of every major event is a network of people working hard to make it all possible. Disco Donnie Presents and NightCulture would like to send our “network” a special thank you shout out: the artists and performers who came ready to dazzle audiences in their fully decked-out Halloween outfits; the event staff who gave up their weekend to give a hand wherever it was needed; the rows of delicious food vendors who kept our stomachs full and thirsts quenched; the Sam Houston Race Park staff and security who made sure all our ghouls and goblins stayed safe; and the city of Houston, the Houston Police Department, and the Houston Fire Department for dancing with us another year and honoring your commitment to protect and serve.
It doesn’t matter how big or how small, everyone’s assistance helped make this year’s Something Wicked the biggest edition yet – and it went off without a hitch!
Thanks again for everything – We’ll see you next year!
Get Lost in a Trance or House as Disco Donnie Presents Brings Audien to You
Undoubtedly one of the hottest trance and progressive house producers around right now, the 22-year-old phenom Audien has taken the dance world by storm with releases on renowned labels like Anjunabeats, Armada Music, Flashover Recordings, and Spinnin’ Records.
Naturally picking up music theory by ear, the self-proclaimed “monster Pink Floyd fan” has been crafting melodic anthems since 2008. But it wasn’t until 2013 came around that the Connecticut native saw huge breakout success around the globe. His track “Wayfarer” was the very first song to be played on Above & Beyond’s much-anticipated and internationally-broadcast radio show, Group Therapy, making Audien a highly-talked about name in households of dance fans everywhere.
With rapidly growing catalog of tunes that he seems to create on autopilot, 2014 has arguably been his most high-profile year having done an official remix for the King of Pop, Michael Jackson and giving Bastille’s “Pompeii” the Audien touch, which will surely make an appearance on many best of lists come year end.
Still celebrating his latest hit “Serotonin” with vocalist Matthew Koma, get ready to feel the serotonin flow throughout the dance floor as Audien makes his way to a city near you this fall.
Join us on our partnering dates:
- Audien in New Orleans, LA on Friday, November 7th
- Audien in San Diego, CA on Saturday, November 8th
- Audien in Saint Louis, MO on Saturday, November 22nd
