Matthew Skud

Mattia Scudellaro alias Matthew Skud was born in Rovigo in 1989.
Always fascinated by the night life world, he decided at the age of 15 to start his adventure in the club scene, first as a promoter to understand their dynamics and later as a DJ. Still underage, he took his first steps in the North-East Italian one-night and the rave party movement. He began to explore the Underground club culture. Matthew appreciated every nuance, trying to take in as much as possible from this experience and from the people he met on his journey.
As soon as he turned 18 he was contacted to perform in some Italian and European clubs, thus having the chance to play on the console and learn about artists who until then he had only been able to admire on records and in magazines. His performances were almost always recorded and broadcasted on radio and web radio relevant to his musical style, giving him the chance, thanks to the web, to broaden his horizons. By working together with various promoters and booking agencies that organize the shows, in 2009 he decided that it was time to start producing his own music, working together with artists and record labels spread around the globe, increasing exponentially his visibility. After some hard work and various sound experiments in 2011 he entered the charts of the best shop of electronic music such as Beatport, Nowtrax, Juno Download, TrackItDown, Djtunes, Decks and many others.
In the same year he met Nick Olivetti, a real icon of the European techno scene, the two are now on the same wavelength and a few months later he started working for Fish Rec UK, Nick’s label, first as an A&R then as a Label Manager. The same things happens with Andrea Mattioli of the Italian label Diva Records who hired him in 2013. In 2012, he entered the collective Electronic Fog based in Polesine,
a reference point for the national electronic music circuit, covering the role of the artist and Label Manager of the homonymous label. At the end of 2012 supported by trusted friends he founded Life Sentence Rec, a clear project with a sound line defined in publishing releases that end up in the DJs bags from around the world. The project is very ambitious and they are very confident because they are receiving many satisfactions. In the end of 2015 they decided to inaugurate Little Italy Music label, a satellite of the major LSR, where they begin experimenting whilst maintaining a very high quality. A lover of hard work and of the most difficult challenges, like a true artist he never feels satisfied; his research will continue for a long time. Are you ready to follow his adventure?
