Mr. Projectile
[ San Francisco Bay Area ]
Techno / IDM / Experimental / Live and DJ
Matthew Arnold aka Mr. Projectile has been an influential member of the electronic music community since 1992. DJing and organizing clubs and parties in his hometown of Minneapolis, he managed to keep an eclectic edge while always keeping his sights on what was new and interesting within the constantly changing electronic music world. His dedication to electronic miusic became more apparent when he began hosting the monthly music night in Minneapolis "Hello Music" which was one of the first minimal techno nights in the country, and now considered seminal by some.
He released his first record on the UK's cult label Toytronic Records, which 9 years later has become a classic, known to sell for over $100.00 on ebay. He has gone on to release music on Studio K7, Parotic Records, Merck Records, Om, N5MD, Benbecula, and on his own label Semisexual. He has been organizing, promoting, booking and performing at shows and tours throughout the US for over 13 years. He was nominated for best electronic musician by the Minnesota music awards in 2001.
Mr. Projectile's ever-changing styles of production always manage to keep a deep emotional feel, and a one of a kind thick atmospheric sound that is undoubtedly the result of his well-learned production capabilities. He is currently working on organizing a tour in support of his upcoming album.
