Mat Zo hasn’t been very active in the past few months, however that didn’t stop him from going on an day long twitter rant calling out some of the biggest names in the game and (probably) cutting down his fanbase by a huge number.
No point wasting time, lets get reading.
It all started with…
If you're one of the few fans I have left who haven't been alienated by my musical adhd, or this twitter account, I admire your tolerance

Its funny how when men cuss eachother it usually ends in respect or friendship even, when women do it it ends in eternal hatred

@bixelboys btw i only wore it like 3 times cus all the mexicans in my area started giving me shit about defacing the raiders logo
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
@Mat_Zo oh we get some lovely facebook messages about that. Raider fans are just wonderful souls ^___^
— BIXEL BOYS (@bixelboys) May 29, 2015
@bixelboys there's another reason I stopped wearing it, i don't agree with the main slogan, life is not free nor will it ever be
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
I'm just sick of the clique mentality, the outfits, the meaninglessness of it all. I think thats a valid gripe

Its high school all over again and I fucking hate it. It makes me want to go live in the woods in the middle of buttfuck nowhere
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
Taking bets on how many blogs will be covering @Mat_Zo's Twitter feed tomorrow.

Electronic music used to be a bunch of nerds/geeks/outliers, and I have a lot invested in trying to keep it that way
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
@mat_zo I think most of the popular figures in electronic music are still geeks but they pretend not to be.
— Direct (@DirectOfficial) May 29, 2015
If you're a nerd/geek whatever, be proud of it, don't be ashamed. Show the fuckwits how much better you are without even trying
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
I speaking to the electronic music producers of the future, you could be one of them, you might already be one. Don't forget what you are
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
You can gel your hair back, you can get lazer eye surgery, you can wear black sports jackets but you're still a nerd
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
And went on to…
.@tiesto once said to me "those trance guys are a bunch of old losers" maybe cus they stuck with their passion and didn't go chasing pussy
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
More people should know what these frauds are really thinking
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
@Mat_Zo don't get me wrong – our clubs are fucked (because DJs priced themselves out the market) but the actual music scene is incredible.
— Andi Durrant (@AndiDurrant) May 29, 2015
@AndiDurrant yes but theres still a class structure where the top djs are just businessmen who know how to exploit young talent
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
@Mat_Zo The top guys in Trance, House, Techno, D&B really seem to support new talent for the greater good, not thinly veiled financial gain.
— Andi Durrant (@AndiDurrant) May 29, 2015
@AndiDurrant no way @arminvanbuuren is the worst. Look at the talent on armada he 'supports' and look how they're all stuck
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
@Mat_Zo Maybe they are stuck, or maybe it's their only chance of a "break" – IDK. I see a lot of good in the electronic world though still
— Andi Durrant (@AndiDurrant) May 29, 2015
@AndiDurrant its their only chance at a break cus @arminvanbuuren has commandeered a whole genre to be his own
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
For too long these guys have pretended make their own music succeeded and leave us actual producers to struggle
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
@rubenderonde dude music is not just entertainment, it doesn't have to be like that. Do you REALLY want that?
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
@onetwittahitta @rubenderonde hes actually a really nice guy, so is @arminvanbuuren but not when it comes to business
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
@finge_ser no cus @deadmau5 doesn't actually give a fuck
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
@rubenderonde I agree, but the way armada owns artists is just as bad. I know this cus I was one once
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
.@Abdelrahmanabil well @aboveandbeyond let me grow as an artist and gave me feedback every step of the way for my benefit not theirs
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
I don't want to damage these big DJ's careers, i couldn't even if I wanted to, but you should know they rely completely on smaller talent
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
@EDMsnob no they don't, because most are ignorant of it, but no one has the balls to say anything
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
@EDMsnob thats only because most EDM fans don't read that shit, the people at ultra aren't going cus they read about it on a blog
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
@EDMsnob its hard to fight the good fight when not a single major US festival will even piss on me this year, probably cus ive been fighting
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
@PDwob @Wolf_Beats yeh @OWSLA are definitely going the same way armada was
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
@annayvettemusic cus it would be as genuine as actual yelp if not less lol
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
Electronic music has rotten teeth that need to be pulled
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
I really cant wait to put out my album, which will speak so much louder than my words on fucking social media
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
“@Eriklfuhler: Are you releasing it on a label? If so, whos? Certainly not on Armada's! ;)”
My own since majors stopped fucking with me
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
I wish I could call out the fuckers ive had second hand experience with too, not just first hand, but that might be misinformed
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
And finally…
I don't care if I kill my career, I just want to see genuine artists headlining festivals and the fake ones opening for them
— . (@Mat_Zo) May 29, 2015
We’re not sure if he was just blowing off steam (a lot of it) or being genuinely pissed with the current EDM scene. Whatever the case may be, Mat Zo is a talented producer and has a shinning career ahead of him. (That comment about Tiesto *Daaaaaaayyyuuum*)
