John
Mateo and Eddie Matos have been producing and
remixing since the mid 1980's and since then have
released records on every major indie label in New
York during their career. Having being interested in
Djing and making music since the late 70's they met
through the avenue of CB Radio and quickly hit it
off. Listening to Kiss FM and Disco 92 WKTU and
enjoying the music that Tony Humphries, Shep
Pettibone and Jonathan Fearing were playing, inspired
the pair. Soon after the duo became partners
and got to know Louie Vega who at the time was
playing at Hearthrob in NYC. Louie was a great
inspiration for the duo as they learned their craft
in the studio watching Louie with producing and
editing. In 1986, Hector Cruz, who was a friend of the great Larry Levan, who was playing at clubs such as the Loft and The Garage, introduced them to the Loft. They got their first big break when they began playing at Cruz's House Nation club. From 1986 through 1989, Djing took over their lives and they played everywhere from clubs to street summer parties. In late 89 they moved into production when they set up Final Cut Records with a business partner. In 93 having enjoyed success with the label they began working for other Independent labels in New York, working with just about every major label in the city. Now in 1998/99 they have decided to work with only a few selected labels and have set up a new label United Underground House Sounds.
