Slipmatt (born Matthew Nelson, 1968) is an English happy hardcore (and more recently rave breaks) producer and DJ based in Essex, England. He was one half of rave act SL2, who had a 1992 UK hit with "On A Ragga Tip".
In 1985, while working as an electrician and courier, Nelson obtained his first turntables and started playing hip-hop and house. He then founded a pirate radio station named "Raw FM" in London's East End, and in 1989 began his professional DJ career as DJ for the Raindance rave event. His first music production was in 1989 where Slipmatt collaborated with DJ Lime forming SL2. The single "Do That Dance", was released in that same year. This was followed by the number 11 UK chart hit "DJs Take Control" / "Way In My Brain". The follow-up single "On a Ragga Tip", reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart in April 1992. As a result of their chart success, the band were propelled into the media spotlight and made appearances on Top of the Pops and other television shows. SL2's chart success continued with a remix of "Way in My Brain", which made the top twenty in the UK chart.
In slang, "old school" or "old skool" can refer to anything that is from an earlier era or anything that may be considered "old-fashioned". The term is commonly used to suggest a high regard for something that has been shown to have lasting value or quality.

My set at The O2 Arena alongside The Prodigy, Rudimental, Jaguar Skill and Modestep. I played 1.30-2.30 straight after The Prodigy in the main arena to finish the night off with an hour of classic 90s Old Skool Rave. The arena was amazing, the whole night was an incredible experience and from what I could make out everyone was having the time of their lives. Hope you enjoy!
