Matty's profile & Charts
I run White Heat. That's my job. And the record label. That's fun too though so perhaps none of it is a job. Is it a job if you enjoy it? Is it a hobby then? It can't be a hobby because they notoriously don't pay the rent. I think my hobby might involve books and toy aeroplanes. DJ's are prone to geekiness you see. Think about it. Think about that trainspotterish knowledge of music, think about that MUST HAVE THAT NEW RECORD mentality. I even know one DJ/Website editor that actually is a trainspotter. Glamour is never far away in this profession.

Since running white heat I have met the following famous people:
Jarvis Cocker
Kate Moss
Mel B
Peaches Geldof
Kelly Osbourne
Carlos D
Juliet Lewis
That Guy off Big Brother
That girl off Big Brother
That Guy/Girl off Popworld
A weather presenter
All available Libertines
The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster
Mclusky
The Klaxons(!)
And of course most famous of all, Faris 'Rotter'. Told you it's glamorous.
