Matt Wilde

Matt Wilde is a Manchester-based artist, producer and pianist whose music lives at the intersection of electronic beat making and jazz improvisation.

Shaped as much by J Dilla, MF DOOM and early UK garage as by jazz harmony and crate-digging discoveries like Bill Evans, Wilde’s sound embraces the rawness of live improvisation while remaining beat-forward and heavily textured – built around drum machines, his vintage Rhodes piano, looped melodic fragments and a fearless sense of rhythm.

He joins us this November following standout performances at major UK jazz festivals and at institutions like Camden’s Jazz Cafe.
