DJ Special Guessed

Matthew (DJ Special Guessed) grew up on an odd mix of CCM, Rap, Rock, Miami Bass & Jazz. Growing up in Daytona Beach, FL he developed a love for the music of the early Hardcore, Breaks, and House of the 90's Florida Rave scene. Starting on the dance floors of The Coliseum in Daytona and The Edge, (The Club at) Firestone, and Beachum's numerous evolutions in Orlando, he was constantly on the dancefloor (#uprockforever). He started DJ'ing during the Swing re-emergence in the late 90's, working with a tight knit group called the Swing Kats, who also offered instruction in Swing & Ball Room, playing from his collection of Big Band and Jazz records. It wasn't until years of collecting vinyl that he finally began DJing out, playing Breaks and Electro before branching out into Nu-Jazz, House, & Downtempo, with the occasional "Oddities & Such" set which incorporated music from any and every genre from around the globe. With residencies at The Groove & The Love Bar for several years in Daytona Beach, FL, DJ Special Guessed simply went by his real name, Matthew Ford. Known for his complex and long riding mixes - a vinyl purist for most of his time in clubs - Special Guessed's primary purpose for DJ'ing is to share the music he loves. No longer spinning in clubs, his mixes vary from driving basslines that (hopefully) make you wanna find the closest dancefloor to move your hind parts, to chilled out mixes that pair well with a good glass of wine, a comfy place to rest your hind parts, and better company.
