John Mateo and Eddie Matos have been producing and remixing since the mid 1980's. Their rich New York City heritage has influenced their trademark sound which combines elements of Latin, disco and jazz. The success of their music has given them international acclaim, and they are currently in demand as DJs in countries as diverse as Russia and Croatia.
Surprisingly, Eddie and John met through communicating on CB Radio. They both shared a common passion for music and formed a partnership. They were influenced by DJ legends such as Tony Humphries, Shep Pettibone and Jonathan Fearing and found themselves learning the art of production with Louie Vega.
Their first big break came in 1986, when Hector Cruz asked them to play at his infamous House Nation Club. This increased their popularity and they formed their own label, Final Cut, in 1989. Work began with other independent labels in 1993 and since then, they have worked with prestigious companies such as Nervous Records, Glasgow Underground, Distant Music, and Spiritual Life Music.
Their initial release on Large Music was titled "Songs for the Soul" (LAR-027) and included the club hit "Home".
