About Matt White
Contemporary singer/songwriter Matt White is a melodic vocalist with a knack for intimate adult alternative pop. Growing up in Englewood, NJ, White spent much of his youth in and around New York City. Interested in music from a young age, he began piano lessons at age three and picked up the guitar while attending college at the University of Wisconsin. Upon graduating, White returned to NYC and began busking around the city on street corners and in parks, and eventually moved on to clubs like Joe's Pub and the Living Room. A genuine product of the online generation, it was White's local following combined with his considerable connections on Myspace -- over 50,000 friends -- that caught the attention of Geffen Records, who signed White to a deal. An EP, Bleeker Street Stories followed soon after, in 2006, and sold well over iTunes. White's full-length debut album was set for release in 2007. ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide

Kids MGMT |
| With 2005's "Time To Pretend" MGMT created a musical moment that would resonate for the next three years, putting it amongst the creme de la creme of new millennium indie anthems. With latest single, "Kids", MGMT fail to scale the heights they did with their first single, but still deliver a track that has met with strong approval from such critical sources as Pitchfork media, Zane Lowe and, surprisingly, dance music bible Mixmag who cited it as one of their "tunes of the year". Sporting an overridingly childlike melody that shimmers due to the interesting use of a distorted stylophone, the track washes over the listener thanks to the great use of a Gary Numan-esque synth line. This is all brought to the fore on the new remix by Belgian dance maestros Soulwax, who turn the muted indie cool of the original into an irrepressible club monster. If any evidence is needed, here is a clip of Erol Alkan playing the track at the recent Pukkelpop festival. Quite simply, amazing! | |
