Biography
Matt Kerley raised on the outskirts of London. He always had a love for music and the sounds of house.
Fast forward to a new decade and he is a successful, pioneering promoter and DJ in

the masses whilst holding down a fortnightly residency at The Arch, Brighton, and guesting at the
likes of the legendary Velvet Rooms, London and the Legend Nights in North Devon.
Tragedy struck in 2003 Matt was hit by a car which left him with loss of hearing and tinnitus in his
left ear, DJing was put on hold as the risk to extra hearing loss was a reality. But you can’t keep a
good man down and with advances in new technology hearing protection, Matt was able to reignite
his love for House Music and in 2010 the 1210s were once again spinning.
