Snakestyle (Matt Embleton) traces his interest in making music back to about age 7, teaching himself to play percussion by ear, and being bought a vinyl re-press of 'Oxygene' by Jean Michel Jarre and a keyboard. 7 years later, he was making his first recordings using a 4-track tape recorder and whatever keyboards he could get hold of. 7 years after that, working with Alan McDermott under the name 'Sandspider', their first studio album 'Spider' was released on Worm Interface. Several years and two further album releases later Snakestyle decided to work on solo material. In July 2007, he debuted as a DJ at 'Edensounds' at the 491 Gallery in Leytonstone, London playing a selection of deep dubby minimal techno. In September 2007, Snakestyle's first solo album 'Snakestyle' was released on Millennium Records, put together using software synthesisers, the track 'Sunrise Dub' which featured his brother Mike Embleton on guitar was later released on a limited edition compilation entitled 'Dreams'. In February 2008, the new track ‘Neutral Buoyancy’ (also featuring Mike Embleton on guitar) was released on Interchill Records compilation ‘Future Memories’ alongside acts such as 'Eat Static' who had inspired him some fifteen years earlier. In March 2008, music from the ‘Snakestyle’ album was used in a film by Derek J Levault about spearfishing in Hawaii called ‘O’ahu Still Get Fish’. Snakestyle's first live set under the name 'Snakestyle' came on 25th/26th April 2008 at 'Edensounds' at the Synergy Centre in Camberwell, London. In June 2008, while working on new material, DJ Snakestyle had the opportunity to produce a series of mixes for internet radio show 'Momento Chill', based in Bogota, Colombia, hosted by Liliana Arboleda Medina, who was also the voice speaking in Spanish on the track 'Tuning In'. By this time, Snakestyle was pursuing collaborations with a number of musicians including 'Ranking Roger' from the legendary ska band 'The Beat', vocalist Minnie Rogers, and also producer 'Sweetleaf' and guitarist Osamu Yano, both of whom he had known at secondary school. 'Turning Point' utilises software synthesisers to create an organic sound that is reflective of cinematic soundtracks and heralds the dawning of a new age for Snakestyle accentuating dub influences. The album has received industry acclaim for it's electronic innovation and has been awarded prominence on i-Tunes France dance pages. |
