Slipmatt celebrates 30 years of rave anthem On A Ragga Tip

SLIPMATT is lining up for an unmissable back 2 back set with Eats Everything in London tonight.

The legendary DJ and one half of hugely influential rave act SL2, was invited by Eats Everything to join him as he presents A History Of Rave at fabric in London, underlining the respect out there for one of electronic music’s most influential artists.

This set coincides with the 30th anniversary of SL2’s rave hit On A Ragga Tip. The seminal track hit No 2 in the UK national charts for three weeks, and remained in the top 10 for eight weeks in the spring of ’92. The track holds a special place in rave history.

Slipmatt was one of the most sought after and influential DJs in the rave scene as it exploded in the UK in the early 90’s. As one half of SL2 he crossed the sound into the charts with tracks such as Way In My Brain and On A Ragga Tip. His DJ sets at classic raves such as Raindance, Helter Skelter, Energy, Slammin’ Vinyl and many more are still regarded as key moments in dance music history.

Matt remains as busy and relevant as ever. Although proud of his rave history, he’s been producing and DJing in other genres for many years - house, tech house and his own sound which gives a nod to the past, a genre he has coined rave house.

His radio show Slip’s House took no1 and no2 positions on the Mixcloud Tech House charts last month, ahead of the likes of Adam Beyer and Eats Everything. He played 11 gigs last month and his diary for 2023 is already filling up but he also still finds time for the studio.
