JOHN MATEO AND EDDIE MATOS HAVE BEEN PRODUCING AND REMIXING SINCE THE MID 
1980'S AND SINCE THEN HAVE RELEASED RECORDS ON JUST ABOUT EVERY MAJOR 
INDEPENDENT HOUSE  LABEL IN NEW YORK DURING THEIR CAREER. 

HAVING BEEN INTERESTED IN DJING AND MAKING MUSIC SINCE THE LATE 70'S, THEY 
MET THROUGH THE AVENUE OF CB RADIO AND QUICKLY HIT IT OFF.  LISTENING TO KISS 
FM AND DISCO 92 WKTU THEY  ENJOYED THE MUSIC THAT TONY HUMPHRIES, SHEP 
PETTIBONE AND JONATHAN FEARING WERE PLAYING ON THE RADIO.  SOON AFTER THE DUO 
BECAME PARTNERS AND GOT TO KNOW LOUIE VEGA.  WHO AT THE TIME WAS PLAYING AT 
HEARTHROB IN NYC.  LOUIE WAS A GREAT INSPIRATION FOR THE DUO AS THEY LEARNED 
THEIR CRAFT IN THE STUDIO WATCHING LOUIE WITH PRODUCING AND EDITING. 

IN 1986, THEY MET THE GREAT LARRY LEVAN.  lARRY  WAS  PLAYING AT CLUBS SUCH 
AS THE LOFT AND THE GARAGE, THIS EXPOSED THEM TO A WHOLE NEW SOUND.   IN THE 
MID TO LATE 80'S, DJING TOOK OVER THEIR LIVES AND THEY PLAYED EVERYWHERE FROM 
CLUBS SUCH AS HOUSE NATION TO STREET SUMMER PARTIES. 

IN LATE 1989, THEY MOVED INTO PRODUCTION WHEN THEY SET UP FINAL CUT RECORDS 
WITH A BUSINESS PARTNER.  IN 1993, HAVING ENJOYED SUCCESS WITH THE LABEL, 
THEY BEGAN WORKING FOR OTHER INDEPENDENT LABELS IN NEW YORK.  ALSO ABOUT THIS 
TIME THEY STARTED TO DJ ABROAD, TRAVELING THE WORLD.   NOW GOING INTO THE NEW 
MILLENNIUM,  THEY HAVE DECIDED TO WORK WITH ONLY A FEW SELECTED LABELS.   
THEY HAVE ALSO SET UP A NEW LABEL, UNITED UNDERGROUND HOUSE SOUNDS.
