Li Kwan

Matt Darey, who is from Leicester, England, has been a trance music DJ since 1994 and is considered one of the founders of the trance genre. He is also a member of Lost Tribe with Red Jerry. He is perhaps best known for his work in the Euphoria trance series and for "Gamemaster" (as Lost Tribe) and his remixes of and Agnelli & Nelson's "El Niño". In 2005, his first major U.S. albums, an EP, Point Zero (featuring the Li Kwan song of the same name), and a double album, Upfront Trance, were released. His works have sold a total of over 2 million copies. His ex-girlfriend, Marcella Woods, is often a guest vocalist on his recordings. Darey frequently performs his trance sets at UK clubs such as Gatecrasher and Slinky, and over the internet through a monthly show on Digitally Imported's European Trance station. On August 13, 2005, he debuted a new show on Digitally Imported called Nocturnal, which became a weekly show in April 2006. Since Nocturnal became a weekly show, Darey has had guests such as Sasha, Tiësto, Paul Van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold & Ferry Corsten perform guest mixes during the second hour of the show each week. His current single, Beautiful Day, featuring Antoine & Marcia Juell, became a club hit in the US, reaching the top 25 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music Club Play and hitting the top 20 on the Hot Dance Airplay chart. Darey owns a record label, Darey Products, featuring releases from himself and upcoming artists. Read more on Last.fm.
