DJ Profile - Tony Matthews

I am a real Southern Soulboy, as a teenager I visited famous jazz Funk clubs such as The Global Village, Crackers & The 100 Club in London’s West End.  I helped discover Pete Tong and as his roadie used to warm up at the Kings Lodge & Hilltop in Kent. I was the founder of the Gravesend Groover tribe and we used to attend the early Caister Soul Weekender events as well as Ally Pally & Knebworth.

After bringing up a family and a career with the Royal Navy I came back to the DJ world 25 years ago. I returned to the scene playing at Caister Soul Weekender for 20 years and now Great Yarmouth Soul Weekender. I run a well-known weekender “The Kent Soul Sessions” as well as a bi-monthly residency at “Soul Reunited” in Romford and I also play at the Margate Soul Festival and have become a regular at Sunny Hunny & Soul Family Affair.

Although I am well known for playing tracks from the fabulous “Philadelphia International Records” label, my first love has always been Jazz-Funk.

 

Favourite artist - Marvin Gaye.

Favourite Jazz-Funk Track – Hudson People “trip to your mind”

Greatest Soul tunes ever – Harold Melvin & The Bluenotes – “The Love I Lost”. & “Baby I’m For Real” The Originals

Best Club – Global Village (London) late 70s, Crackers “London”

As Lou Rawls once said “see you when I get there”
