Matt Moldover grew up a child of MTV and pop culture in Rockville, United States. But he never looked back after discovering computers, programming, jazz, and electronic music while studying guitar at Boston’s Berklee College of Music, and before long Matt Moldover had become Moldover the mashup king, DJ, and experimental guitarist. Based in New York City, Moldover turned up all over town as an accompanist and DJ, often mixing live remixing and sample manipulation, using MIDI controllers. He named that mixstyle “controllerism” (borrowing the name from turntablism).
To make the controllerism culture unified and stronger, he created the Warper Party, an event where musicians and music lovers could get together for some musical schmooze and play instruments, without creative restrictions and differentiation between artist and audience; and the controllerism website as well.
Unlike his mashup predecessors 2 Many DJ's, Moldover never released an official mix album, being faithful to his own principles of freedom of creation. But in his website he’d posted some live mixes.
On Agust 2009 he released his first original album. This diverse collection of IDM-meets-funk/rock tunes, combines his talents as an electronic composer, studio producer, and instrumentalist. The CD case features a circuit board as a musical instrument, powering a light-Theremin; once again, Moldover introduced another way of enjoying music.
