ABOUT MDT VISION + CINEMATIC EDM
In the Spotify era, I noticed a lot of the magic, and mystery, of music getting lost.
After many years in the trenches, this is my response.
THE VISION 1
“Story. Energy. Emotion.”
I’m MDT Vision, a solo artist who creates epic dance music –
and then fuses it with emotive, cinematic storytelling.
To deliver fresh and exciting experiences that resonate on a deeper level.

Let’s take a trip back to where it all started.
THE ARTIST 2
The Journey So Far…
ORIGINS
I’m Matt, the UK-based producer and visual artist behind MDT Vision.
The story begins with two obsessions: the surreal, transportive filmmaking of visionaries like Lynch and Cronenberg, and the epic dance music of the ’90s.
1994 – First Tunes
I was 14 when my family got our first PC.
The first thing I rushed to do was make music, sampling my favourite films from David Lynch and Cronenberg off a VHS tape.
It was basic… but the seed was sown.
1997 – Decks and Gatecrasher
The passion exploded. I got my first decks and went to Gatecrasher for the first time.
This was a golden era of dance music, which spawned a lot of the EDM genres of today.
It was also the beginning of my real love for, and involvement in, the dance music scene.
Fusion
2007 – Elastic Canvas
In mid 2007 I set up my own business, Elastic Canvas as a one-man, one-stop creative shop.
My work as Elastic Canvas was both creatively rewarding and very challenging!
I delivered a wide range of services to wide range of people – everyone from individuals and start-ups through to international brands.
In many ways this was great. I got to help a lot of people acheive success – and gained a huge amount of skills and experience in the process – but I was being pulled all over the place.
By 2016 I was burnt out and searching for something more.
2016 – The First Leap
In 2016 I realised the thing I’d been searching for had been there from the start.
I went all in – realigned my business and made big personal lifestyle changes; dedicating myself to a new vision –
To fuse my love of the visual arts and storytelling with EDM – to create a new kind of experience that would touch people at a deeper level.
The challenge facing me now was learning how to produce music capable of doing this!
2016 – 2020 – The New Learning
I spent years honing the craft – joining producer groups, taking many courses, and spending day and night learning the art of production. From here I started started to develop my own style and system.
At the same time, I dedicated the same effort into really understanding the modern music landscape, the tools, tech and the people involved.
Drawing from the golden eras to create innovative experiences for today
THE EXPERIENCES 3
Resurrection and Innovation
2020 – First Album + New Sets
The first phase of the mission was achieved with the first release of my animated album, The Projector on 20th March 2020… three days before the world went into lockdown.
With real world events off the table, I switched gears. I painted my studio fully green to create live, animated Zoom DJ sets – connecting friends around the world.
For everyone it was an insane time, and as it continued, necessity and requests pulled me back into other work.
This included me helping people set up various businesses as well as co-founding an app.
2024 – The Return
Still neck deep in several other projects, I had to get back to my core mission. I worked every hour available to return with The Resurrection Series
The incredible organic response to cinematic sagas like HALO and The Veil proved that people were hungry for this new kind of experience.

2025 – MDT Vision 2.0
In mid-2025, I took the second and final leap – stepping away from all other business ventures to go 100%, all-in on MDT Vision.
This is one of many projects; it is my entire focus.
The channel has officially relaunched, starting with The Crasher Series, with Good Shot and I Believe now live.
Following up with many more experiences and series such as The Albion Series and the very warmly received Shadow Shore.
This is MDT Vision 2.0 – the foundation for everything to come.
FUTURE
The next chapter for Cinematic EDM is further online innovation plus going live in the real world.
While artists like Anyma are creating incredible high-budget shows, my vision is just as grand – but way more accessible.
I am pioneering high-impact, story-driven, audio-visual experiences that can be tailored for venues and festivals of all scales.
For me, the act of creation is the ultimate fuel. With a huge vault of original music and cinematic worlds ready to go, and many more in production –
Get ready for a new kind of live experience that stimulates the senses and satisfies the soul.
