Matthijs came in touch with music production software when he was about 11 years old, through a program called scream tracker 3. For a few months he played around with it, until he lost it because of a computer virus. Two Years later, when Matthijs was walking through a book store, he found a cd with lots of songs and music-related programs. To his surprise, Scream Tracker 3 was also on it, so he bought it and picked it up where he left off.

About a year or two went by and Matthijs was enjoying making music a lot until a friend came by with a new program (Impulse Tracker) which was even better. With this new tracker, Matthijs -by now a member of the Sublogic Corparation Netlabel- eventually made a remix of the clubtrack 'gotta have it' by Mass Medium, for a contest held by Blue Records, and though he didn't win, made it into the final round together with five others. After this, Matthijs began to take his producing more seriously and bought himself a new computer with some hard earned cash.

Following this, mb spent roughly two years trying out a myriad of music production platforms and programs to replace the outdated technology of impulse tracker, and like many before and after him, eventually hooked into renoise.

Enough technical talk. Today, Matthijs is trying to get his music played to the masses, but unfortunately that isn't as easy as it sounds. Even though some of his releases have been received pretty well by various djs and even signed by various record labels, it's still imposible to find his music on the black disk he's aiming for.
