Quadroptica’s Soichi Matsumoto has been active in the scene since 2001 mesmerising crowds with his unique visual content and distinctive vj style. From London underground party to art exhibitions to festivals, from across Europe (UK, Ireland, Greece, Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Romania, Italy, Holland) to as far ground as Dubai, Oman, Australia, he’s done it all making the parties that little bit extra special.
He was a resident VJ for now a London legend Frolic(HearColours) from 2002 to 2008 and in 2004, he was appointed by Mercury Prize winner, Talvin Singh, to join his multi-media out fit TaBtek performing on stage along with maestro himself and Oskar Vizan, a multi talented music producer, who in 2008, teamed up with Soichi to form an audio/visual band Plateaux and Fotone, a music label.
After a year of maternity break from 2009 - 2010, quadroptica is set to return to the scene with a big bang.
