Under the name Matrixxman, DJ/producer Charles McCloud Duff creates stripped-down analog acid house and techno, using the term "Resurgent Techno Atavism" to describe his work. Originally from Arlington, Virginia, Duff moved to San Francisco and became involved with electronic music and hip-hop, forming production duos Amen Brother (with frequent collaborator Vin Sol) and 5kinAndBone5 (with Paavo Steinkamp aka Earthman). Duff started using the name Matrixxman in 2012, and by 2015 he had released numerous EPs under the moniker. That same year saw the release of his full-length debut Homesick, which continued to refine his minimal acid house style, but also included a few ambient pieces and reflected his obsession with sci-fi and technology. ~ Paul Simpson
