Matt Henshaw is back with his latest EP named ‘The Fire Pit’, set for release 17th April on Rusty Jukebox records. Following on from the success of his previous EP ‘Can’t Hold Back’, Matt is back with a 5-track sample of his latest impressive material.
After a previous flirtation with success performing at Reading and Leeds and the Isle of White festivals, this ultimately came too soon for Matt. Since taking a break from the scene of music, even meandering off into the world of novel-writing and short-stories, he came back with the help of Reggimental in Easter 2010, lending his talents to the project ‘Something for the Strive’. Matt has been likened to such acts as Mike Skinner of The Streets, Jamie T, Mark Ronson and Plan B.
Success followed through the NME Breakthrough Artists as Matt was voted by their readers and industry panel to perform on the main stage of London’s Lovebox festival last July.
The new EP, ‘Fire Pit’, is a 5-track number which sees Matt team up once again with Reggimental as well as Radio 1‘s and Mike Skinner’s favorite new rapper, Joey G-Zus. The EP opens with the title track, followed by ‘Get Down’, ‘Get Me Some’, ‘When I Close My Eyes’, and ends on a high with ‘The World’s Gone Mad’, which features Joey G-Zus and Reggimental.
Nottingham born Matt clearly has a sound base to progress from with the new record and already has a solid base of fans to push him in the right direction. Using instruments and samples in the way he does Matt’s music coupled with Reggimental’s MC skills can sound almost like a UK ‘Nas’, which is no mean feat and can only mean good things for the way Matt is heading on the next level of his exciting career.
