History
John "Roc" Mateo and Eddie "E-Z" Matos were both influenced by late 1970s disco. Mateo started by broadcasting sets over his CB radio in 1985, and it was through this self-produced show that Matos first contacted him. They became friends and shortly afterward became professional partners. Their inspirations include Larry Levan, Tony Humphries, Shep Pettibone and Little Louie Vega. They were introduced to Vega later that year, learning about studio production and engineering from him. From 1986 to 1989, Mateo & Matos performed at many club festivals and old school block parties in the tri-state area of New York. By 1989, they were working on their own productions. After several releases on their own Final Cut Records label, they went on to record for Oxygen Music Works, Henry Street, Nervous Records, Nite Grooves and Spiritual Life Music in the mid-1990s. Their debut album as producers, New York Rhythms, appeared on the Scottish Glasgow Underground Recordings label in 1997, with a second volume appearing the following year. In 1999, these were followed by The Many Shades of Mateo & Matos.
They have since made deejay appearances in over 30 countries and released dozens of original productions and remixes on record labels such as Manuscript Records Ukraine, King Street Records, Defected Records, and Large Music.
