Matt Barker Email & Phone Number

In his teens, he bought a sampler and started started experimenting with sequencers. DJing became a passion, so bought some turntables, learnt how to mix in key and got a residency. This was getting good....His first demo track, 'Earthquake in Eden', needed a suitable psuedonym, so he chose Epicentre. The rest is history.Initially focussing on original material, Matt developed his unique style of merging prog house, trance, breakbeat and accoustic elements, which has seen him produce tracks in a wide range of genres.
