Recloose, the stage name of New Zealand-based music producer and DJ Matt Chicoine, first gained recognition in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Originally hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Chicoine's career took off after Detroit techno legend Carl Craig discovered a demo of his, leading to Recloose's debut EP "So This Is The Dining Room" on Craig's Planet E label in 1998. Over the years, Recloose has been renowned for his eclectic style that blends elements of techno, house, funk, and jazz. After moving to New Zealand in the early 2000s, he continued to build his reputation with albums like "Cardiology" (2002) and "Perfect Timing" (2008), collaborating with local musicians and contributing to the vibrant music scene there. Recloose remains a respected figure in electronic music for his innovative production and genre-blending artistry.
