There rarely is a musician to be seen, who feels home in more than just one musical genre the way Matthias Vogt does. Who else can claim himself being booked in the hottest clubs around the globe and aditionally being respected as a genius jazz musician at the same time?

Vogt holds a residency at Sven Väth's Cocoonclub in Frankfurt, the City that surely still is a Mekka for all conceivable kinds of electronic music.

Being the incorporator of "Motorcitysoul", a highly successful and steady-increasing DJ- and Production-Duo, that Vogt founded a few years ago, and is now runnning succesfully with his brother in crime "C-Rock" aka Christian Rindermann, he played gigs at Clubs such as "The End" in London, "Club 11" in Amsterdam, "Cielo" New York or the "Club Propaganda" in Moscow. Furthermore he did plenty of DJ-Gigs in countries around the world like Japan, Australia, Spain, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Hungary, Latvia and Turkey.

Under his Motorcitysoul-moniker he released several groundbreaking records on highly-acclaimed House-Imprints like Freerange, Simple, Aus, Stir 15 or Lofi-Stereo amongst others. Particularly in producing electronic music, Vogt is able to bring to account his experience as a jazz-musician in a way, that surely is unique in nowadays contemporary House-Music.

For this reason Matthias Vogt and C-Rock not only did Remixes for magnificent Houseproducers such as Blaze, Dirt Crew, Jussi Pekka, Brett Johnson or Phonique, but also contributed a readaption of Fuckapondelic's "Switch the Light", that was released alongside the original track on Cocoon-Recordings and was causing quite a stir in the clubs around the globe.

Currently Vogt did some interesting solo-releases - for Chicago based Fresh Meat Records, UK Imprint Urbantorque, Paris/France deepest Komplex de Deep, plus Saw Recordings, the label of house-legends Satoshi Tomiie and Hector Romero. Matthias solo tracks Tracks evoced postive feedback von of top dj's like Jimpster, Joris Voorn, Paul Woolford, Laurent Garnier, Josh Wink or Karotte.

In his "second life" Vogt is a jazz-musician. He graduated an education as Professional Musician as well as Instrumental-Pedagogue for Jazz- and Popular-Music at the "Frankfurter Musikwerkstatt".

In 2002 the frankfurt-based Label INFRACOM! asked Matthias Vogt to realise a unique musical idea: The creation of an album that contains acoustic jazz-versions of originally elctronic tracks. A name for this project was easy to be found: re:jazz! Two further albums followed and the fromer project quickly turned into a band. Thus re:jazz! created instant jazz-adaptions of dance-classics such as "Keep on Movin" (Soul II Soul), "Finally" (Ce Ce Peniston), "Inner City Life" (Goldie) or "All I Need" (Air). Currently re:jazz! are working on their fourth studio-album. Till this day they sold over 60.000 albums wolrdwide and even the media celebrated re:jazz! for being a great enrichment to the coeval german jazz-scene.

Vogt's second important project next to re:jazz! is the "Matthias Vogt Trio". In 2006 the first "Matthias Vogt Trio" album "Changing Colours" was released on INFRACOM! and he recently finsihed the recordings for their latest Longplayer "Coming Up For Air", that will see the world in 2009.
