Matt Van Dura

Born in 1979 young Mathias Bonn started mixing in the middle of 1993 at the age of 14. In 1993 he had watched some DJs working in their DJ-Booths somewhere in the german city Troisdorf, near Cologne. The contact with this DJs gave him the possibilty to start mixing. His first styles, where Eurodance and Pop. One of those DJs also edited tunes and produced own tracks on those simple DOS-trackers, like FastTrakker. And so Mathias, who was called VyloX by his friends, also started to produce his own remixes and tracks. His style was something between acidhouse and the sound of Frankfurt, which later was called Acid-Trance. He started mixing on 2 Technics SL 1200 MKII and a Dynachord M1. Later he tried to get bookings by his classmates. The theft of his Record Collection in 1997 nearly stopped his career. With a lot of energy and endurance he brought it back to the clubs some years later. You can listen to him for example at the Lustwandel Düsseldorf and other Clubs.
