A.k.a. Mateusz Merkel

Mateusz Merkel also known as The Acolyte, born in 1990 in Poland started his EDM interest in the late 2002 stealing CD’s from his sister with some funky electro. He found out some harder genres back then such as hardstyle and hardtrance, but unfortunately he lost interest in modern music and went underground with raw industrial and broken beats. He bought his first CDJ’s and started to play with them. He found out mixing is not enough and wanted to mess a little with the sounds as well. His first productions came out in the late 2009 and are developing into any hardcore genre and experimental broken beats and dark atmosphere. He is a co-founder of the free experimental Polish netlabel called Atrum Artifex Recordings along with Noqturne and they both do their best to show not known, but talented producers to the scene and give them a little exposure so the real hardcore junkies would have a sneak peek into the music made by people, for people. He is now doing his best to have the most fun he can out of music along with his label crew, so they’d enjoy the parties they perform at the most.
