Matt Perrett

I’m a dyed-in-the-wool supporter of counter-cultural music, the Melbourne Football club and recreational running. RTRFM is a home away from home and I treasure it dearly.

About

Get to know Matt

Music has and always play a hugely important role in my life, from adolescent trombone lessons through to seemingly endless hours spent in the sweaty basements or the now happily inescapable presence of the Sound Alternative. My lounge room feels genuinely uncomfortable if there isn’t a track (or RTRFM) gurgling along in the background.

What I’m currently listening to can swing from thumping techno all the way through to the gentlest yacht rock. Sharing music is something I’ll always cherish, whether it’s in the club, as a promoter, in the studio or sitting in my backyard.

How did you become involved in the station?

Finding myself at a loose end in 2018, I started volunteering in the RTRFM office, helping out in the music department. I was promptly hosting overnight shows and dreaming of working at the station. Since that first foray into the studio I’ve had the pleasure and the pleasure of hosting Bass Check, Drivetime and Out To Lunch and have been RTRFM’s Music Director since 2021.

Tell us about your most memorable gig, either attending or playing at?

No grand arenas or bucket list gigs can top getting to DJ back to back with Kailyn Crabbe at a Fremantle Beach party on a balmy Christmas night; playing at and taking in DIY gigs in Wa will always stay with me.

What is your favourite show (other than your own) on RTRFM?

Full Frequency.
