Matthew "Recloose" Chicoine is an electronic music producer, DJ and musician originally from Detroit, Michigan. He is known for releases on independent dance labels like Planet E, Rush Hour, Peacefrog, Studio !K7, Sonar Kollektiv and Delusions of Grandeur.

His professional career began in 1997 when he met techno artist Carl Craig via a demo tape slipped into a sandwich while working at Detroit's Russell Street Deli.[1] He released his debut EP "So This Is The Dining Room" EP on Planet E in 1998 and debut album "Cardiology" on Planet E/Studio !k7 in 2002, a release that featured Detroit area artists Dwele, Genevieve Marentette, Colin Stetson, Rayse Biggs of Was (Not Was), Jeremy Ellis, Paul Randolph, Jerry The Cat, Amp Fiddler, John Arnold and Malik Alston.[2] In late 2001 he re-located to New Zealand where he began working with local musicians Dallas Tamaira of Fat Freddy's Drop, Hollie Smith, Jonathan Crayford, and members of Trinity Roots, also forming the touring group "The Recloose Live Band." He was awarded the Best Dance/Electronica Album Tui for his album 'Perfect Timing' LP at the New Zealand Music Awards in late 2008.[3]

In 2008 he founded the Hit It & Quit It radio show on Auckland, New Zealand's George FM, co-hosted with local producer and DJ Frank Booker, releasing a radio-themed compilation CD "Hit It & Quit It Radio Revue Vol. I" with accompanying Serato vinyl pressing in 2011.
