Mat’s journey started after hearing the hypnotic, electronic sounds of ‘Acid Warehouse’ parties all over the Northwest of England in ’88. Since then, he has been mixing and scratching his way into the forefront of the electronic music scene worldwide. He has been featured in ground-breaking music blogs, worldwide charts, DJ sets, and radio shows – and now he’s back in Revelstoke!

An unofficial party at the resort, which celebrates a legacy of ‘The Game of Gnar’. A game which measures “how rad you’re getting” by logging points every time you throw a trick, wear an epic outfit, ski a run on a monoski, or pull various other stunts as outlined in the game rules. Skiers and snowboarders will be dusting off the retro onesies and rummaging through the tickle trunk for an outfit that will make them score some points this Saturday.

There will also be live music from DJ Dexaville playing at the Rockford Grill Revelstoke Plaza 2-5:30 p.m.
