作为2016年DJ大奖的电子现场表演者，Matador是一个革命性的现场艺术家，多才多艺，同时从不妥协的质量。赞誉已经被沐浴在都柏林出生的制作人，从NEVE 5088主机的骄傲大使，和里奇·霍汀的playdifferent MODEL1混频器，他的任期作为一个进入居民在他们的全球活动，他在RA的现场艺术家投票的一贯位置，给他带来了迅速的全球赞誉和一个忠实的全球粉丝基础的俱乐部和同龄人。仍然渴望征服新的世界，斗牛士，又名加文林奇，最近采取了一个新的角色，作为他的RUKUS品牌的厂牌老板。斗牛士惊人的现场表演带来了拥挤的人群和同样拥挤的巡演日程，包括在顶级俱乐部和节日的关键预订，如Awakenings, Tomorrowland, Sonus Croatia, Ultra，和Output, DC-10, Space Ibiza，立体声蒙特利尔。在全球门票售罄的演出中为欣喜若狂的成千上万人演出，这与他早年的表现相去甚远。在摩城长大的斗牛士和枪炮玫瑰、平克·弗洛伊德、Orbital、卡萨比安一起长大……青少年时期，他受到电子巨头里奇·霍汀、亚当·拜尔和杰夫·米尔斯的启发，忠实地听着Essential Mix，收集唱片，并学习用他能买得起的任何设备做DJ。他想要学习更多的东西，于是他参加了都柏林声音培训中心的一门声音工程课程，重点是电子音乐制作。“虽然电子制作是我的最爱，但无论是在录音室还是在现场，了解最纯粹的乐器都是非常重要的。”除了来自Cocoon和Perc Trax的早期兴趣外，与Richie Hawtin的相遇让他从都柏林地下俱乐部巡回演出的有抱负的DJ变成了Hawtin ' s Minus乐队的关键组成部分。他的成功得益于一系列成功的专辑，如《Kingswing》和《Spooks》EP，以及他不断创新、不断发展的现场演出。 His relationship with Hawtin continues to be a fruitful one, having been enlisted as an ambassador for his PLAYDifferently Model 1 analog DJ mixer in 2016. Last year also saw Matador founding his RUKUS label. ‘I’ve always loved the idea of taking my tracks from conception in the studio all the way through to release,’ he says. Initially creating an outlet for his own music, this year he invites exciting new and established talent to the imprint, as he extends his range as label boss. In 2016 he unveiled his newest live show at Loveland (ADE 2016), and he promises to add more new elements into an already complex and acclaimed performance in 2017. Unusually multi-talented outside music, Matador’s many interests and skills have fed back into his DJ career. His early twenties were spent training as a chef to the point of a promising career in Dublin’s Michelin starred restaurants. Following his Dad’s advice of ‘find something you love doing and you’ll never work a day in your life’, he split his time between the kitchen and the decks, before cooking became a much loved hobby and music his life’s work.
