As one half of Detroit-founded Two Circles Records, Matt Wooddy has helped construct a niche gathering of dance music enthusiasts in his southern home of Atlanta. With a mindful nod to the ways of house music in generations past, Matt comes to the public with transitional noms de plume to help translate his musical upbringing. For the first six years of Heat Promotions' existence, Matt DJed under his Inferno moniker, playing everything from weekly residencies in Midtown Atlanta to jet-setting to acclaimed nights in continental cities. He's been involved with helping shape newer cultures and artistic communities in Atlanta, and it's a careful attention to detail that has helped him gain an edge over less mindful industry peers. His newest venture, appropriately named Woodlawn, helps him focus more on the direction that house and techno has taken over the course of the last three decades. In an age of digital communication and automatic audio transmissions, Matt continues to rely on patient methods of DJing to convey his overall message in sound.

Sly Fox's own Appian is set to release his Endomusia EP on Phuture Shock Music this October. 5 tracks of pure space funk. Don't sleep. From Phuture Shock:

'Endomusia' EP is the result of Appian's versatile production that especially embraces the rich musical heritage of Detroit, coming as no surprise given the close proximity between the producer's Midwestern hometown and the celebrated birthplace of techno. The EP covers all bases from deep house to soulful downtempo; to present a sophisticated melting pot of sounds that welcomes an incredible new talent to keep an eye on, and marks Phuture Shock's most diverse release to date.

Opening cut 'Slow Jam' sets the tone on a Balearic slo-mo house vibe, building up with tight rhythmical beats and a hypnotic vocal refrain that glides through textured dreamy pads. 'Perception' is a beatdown number, driven by deep progressive chord changes, frantic hi-hats and scattered snares, revealing the inextricable ties to the Motor City. The more eclectic flipside roams the mid-tempo angle, focusing on funky off kilter beats, and cosmic grooves in the form of 'Pac man' and 'Floating' that coherently absorbs the hi-tech swagger of Detroit hip hop, with the wonky stylings of the LA beat scene, until lastly making way for the deep intergalactic bounce of the finale 'Journey'
