Many DJ’s claim to have music in their blood , a so called passion that has always been there. A story told over and over, however every now and then its actually the truth…

Raised in a household that’s was music mad, Mathew Ladgrove aka Wongo was exposed to all sorts of music delights from a very young age taking in some classic artists and music genres throughout the years, moulding that musical brain of his slowly but surely nurturing it to its current mould of what he calls “wig out “.

After crafting his trade as an early teen as one of the countrys most talented and prolific breakdancers , solo and with the acclaimed breakdance crew Skill @Will Wongos hard work ethic and natural talent for that something a little wild and crazy became apparent. After years of relentless breaking Wongos heart and interest started to lean towards dance music.

Learning his craft following initially down the track of quirky minimal and techno from the likes of Luciano, Frankie, Massi DL, Richie Hawtin and so forth Wongo started to start this whirlwind journey of sorts, however it wasn’t until he heard the sounds of artist Solid Groove and there selection of cutting edge remixes that he knew where his heart lay and he instantly knew that’s where it was at for him.

A year on and with a work ethic applied as hard as his breakdancing in earlier years with music production, Wongo’s discography is nothing short of impressive with original material released on Cleanhouse music and upcoming on Union Records, released bootlegs of Queen and Busta Rhymes, as well as remixes for artists Full Phat, YoDisko and Luke Ladgroove. However perhaps his most exciting releases is the forthcoming ep signed to ESP Records with a remix package courtesy of Hijack and Nic Sarno along with a Jack Union release with Heavyweight players Hijack and Lee Mortimer on remix duty.

Along with all this. Wongo has endeavoured in a new side project with Raye Antonelli under the outfit name Pow! Pow!, and together have secured their first two remixes on heavyweight labels Ministry of Sound Australia and Domino Records.

To date you can find Wongos tunes in the playlists of artists like Edu K, Scott Cooper, Clark Able, Hijack and many more. This story is only starting for this young kid known as Wongo… not only is he playing music he is making it… so let it begin
