They have released music on various labels such as King Street, Ibadan, Spiritual Life Music, Large, Glasgow Underground etc, but also on their own label United Underground House Sounds.
One of the most gifted and focused production teams in the New York house underground, John "Roc" Mateo and Eddie "E-Z" Matos were both educated in the warm vibe of disco first-hand by listening to classic DJs on New York radio during the late '70s. Mateo & Matos have proven time and again they've got musical spirits like few others in the house scene. In the summer of '85 (believe it or not) John Mateo was spinning whole sets over the airwaves of his CB radio. It was through this self-produced show that Eddie Matos first made contact with John Mateo. They became friends quickly and partners soon after.
Eddie Matos grew up in the lower east side of Manhattan. He is of Puerto Rican descent. His interests in music and deejaying came in the late 70's and early 80's. His deejaying influences were Jonathan Fearing, Ted Currier, Shep Pettibone, Tee Scott and Tony Humphries. He was exposed to these DJ's by listening to New York radio stations such as Disco 92, WKTU, WBLS and KISS FM. In 1985 he met John Mateo who had similar music interests. They teamed up and later would be known as Mateo & Matos. That same year he also met "Little" Louie Vega who played at a club called Heartthrob, formerly the Funhouse (N.Y.C.).
Louie Vega was a big inspiration, he would invite Eddie Matos to studio and editing sessions where he learned about recording, producing and engineering. In 1986 he ventured to David Mancuso's spot, The Loft. In that same year he also was lucky enough to meet the legendary Larry Levan. Listening to these two icons introduced him to the Garage and Loft sounds. From 1986 through 1989, he was heavily into deejaying, from playing in street summer jams to indoor winter jams. Late in 1989 he got into producing and has been producing ever since.
They have been inspired by listening to Tony Humphries, Shep Pettibone, Jonathan Fearing From '86 through '89, Mateo & Matos performed at a staggering number of club festivals and old school block parties in the tri-state area of New York. In late 89 they started producing and have released numerous E.P.s and singles from then until now on many record labels throughout the world. They've since torn up dance floors spinning in over thirty countries. You can find their unique New York soulful sound in dozens of original productions and remixes on record labels such as Henry Street, NiteGrooves, King Street, Defected, Nervous, Large, Manuscript records Ukraine and Glasgow Underground. If spirituality and soul in house music is what you seek, Mateo & Matos provide it. They're one of club-land's most enduring and well-known house DJ and production partnerships.
They've since brought their work to deejay appearances in over 30 countries and dozens of original productions and remixes on record labels such as King Street Records, Defected Records, and Large Records
Mateo & Matos Frankie Knuckles quoted as “a brilliant collection of insatiable grooves”.
