Recloose

Matthew Chicoine aka Recloose was an accomplished DJ and producer in his native Detroit before he moved to Aotearoa in 2001. The fusion of a fresh, edge-of-the-planet perspective, with the dance music heritage of Motor City allowed him to forge new musical paths, from playing with Carl Craig's Interzone orchestra to collaborating with Joe (Fat Freddys Drop) Dukie. The stonking dance floor beats and sax jams of Recloose's renowned live shows were captured on 2008's Perfect Timing, which won Best Electronica/Dance album at the NZ Music Awards.
