Info on the man they call Recloose…Since his fateful meeting with Carl Craig in 1997, Recloose aka Matt Chicoine has developed into a true standout of Detroit’s musical litter.

The past 10 years have seen a number of groundbreaking 12’s released and a host of remixes for the likes of Herbert, Towa Tei, MJ Cole and Azymuth. Recloose, consistently gathering musical momentum, released his debut album ‘Cardiology’‚ on Planet E / !K7 in 2002, to large critical acclaim.

He relocated to New Zealand in 2001 to plant new roots and explore new musical horizons. July 2005 saw the release of Recloose’s second album, ‘Hiatus On The Horizon’ (Peacefrog/Loop), an album that features a host of New Zealand’s finest musicians and vocalists (and spawned the dancefloor stomper ‘Dust’ feat. Fat Freddy’s Drop vocalist Joe Dukie).The latest studio album ‘Perfect Timing’ is in its final stages and will be poised for release in Oct. 2007 via Peacefrog Records.
