Matt Rock

Matt Rock delivers a brand of electronic music that feels like a jolt of pure adrenaline. It is characterized by the heavy, side-chained compression and biting sawtooth leads that defined the peak of the 2000s electro house movement. The sound is unapologetically loud, prioritizing a physical reaction over subtle textures, making it a staple for high-energy club environments and late-night urban exploration.

What sets this project apart is a certain raw, almost punk-rock attitude toward electronic production. Under the alias Negligent Homicide, the music often leans into shock-value themes and a gritty, unpolished aesthetic that contrasts with the more commercial EDM of the era. It is music that thrives in the shadows, utilizing distorted basslines and aggressive percussion to create a sense of constant, forward-leaning momentum.

For those looking to dive in, the What U Feel EP is the essential starting point. It captures the quintessential mid-2000s electro sound, especially with the Deadmau5 remix which helped bridge the gap between underground rave culture and the burgeoning global dance scene. It is the perfect soundtrack for when you need to turn the volume up and block the world out.
