Neighbour (Homebreakin / Punchout / Jalapeno / Funk Weapons /
Super-Hifi / Kolour)
One part sexy robot
and one part aerobics instructor, 25 year old Matt
Dauncey
has managed to find the middle ground between music and
athletics.
By harnessing the power of wrestling suits, tennis
sweatbands,
vintage synthesizers, and electric guitar, Neighbour has
tapped into
an ancient power-source that has given him the capacity to
conjure up
frenzied dancefloors wherever he is needed. Through a
mysterious
process that involves not one, but TWO gigantic crystals,
the
Homebreakin Records co-owner has managed to combine the raw
ecstacy
of the early days of disco with razor-sharp futuristic
production.
His
hybrid DJ / live performance tore across the hemisphere this past
year,
including a 21-day whirlwind tour of
Brazil, an incredible series of festival dates across
western Canada,
including headlining slots at Shambhala 2009, Soundwave, Bass
Coast
Project, Astral Harvest, and Summer Break, and a booking at
California's
premiere underground dance festival 'The Big Bounce'.
In
addition to playing almost 100% original production and remixes,
Neighbour plays
live synthesizer and
electric guitar alongside his legendary DJ sets,
which range from
no-nonsense electric funk bangers to gorgeous
technicolor remixes of
classic garage, disco, and house music.
Not one to be
pigeonholed, Neighbour has spent the better part of the
last two
years collaborating with everyone in sight. Upcoming
tracks with
Calgary's Ouda Ouda, boogie-raps with fellow
performer MC ThinkTank,
and an unbelieveable slate of remixes and
original releases guarantee
that as soon as you think you know that
"Neighbour Sound", it has
grown into something completely different.
Some people say that
dance music isn't as fun as it used to be; then
again, some people
haven't seen a grown man in a unitard shoot lazers
out of his guitar
far away into the night sky.
