Hailing from Stockholm, Mad Mats provides a proper history lesson about broken beat, funk, latin, breaks, house music and hiphop in a candid chat. He is the quintessential b-boy and after launching his career in the mid-1980’s, he would go on to tour the world for over a decade and would then start the Raw Fusion record label in 2002. With release after release being the “go to” tracks the world over for almost 10 years, Mad Mats launched a brand-new label in 2011 called Local Talk that is still going strong today. Being that he has quite a varied taste in artists, the boys go deep in conversation about all the genres that make his labels tick and, as always, they do this over a couple of party sets of the highest order sticking strictly to the Raw Fusion, Jugglin, Local Talk and assorted record labels associated with Mad Mats.
