Why you should rather call him ‘Mad Zo’.
Before Submerge brings down Mat Zo to your city this weekend, The Sherp thought of giving you guys something special – a compilation of the best Mat Zo tweets!
Besides proving himself not only in the studio but also behind the decks, Mat Zo’s worldwide popularity is in tandem with his Twitter rants. Mat Zo, who had once vowed never to return to Twitter after the whole will.i.am-ripping-off-his-music episode, is back on Twitter, much to the relief of his fans!
His tweets are simply balls out awesome! The Sherp is enamored by his dark sense of humor.
His very first tweet on the new account got his fans snickering and anticipating what lay ahead.
Im back, like herpes

The whole world is hysterical about the release of GTA V right now. Fans who have already got their hands on their copies won’t be seeing sunlight for at least a month. Zo on the other hand…
Wtf is everyone jizzing over the new grand theft auto for? Does it come with a flesh light or something?

So you buy GTA, it comes in a big box, inside theres no disk or anything, just a gun and a grey arrow — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 17, 2013
You are a grown man, stop playing video games and pay your child support — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 17, 2013

Mat Zo recently became an uncle, twice. Apparently, it’s a recurring phenomenon in his life that takes place quite frequently…
My brother knocked up his wife and are about to excrete a child. It will be the second time i become an uncle this year
— 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 7, 2013
My siblings are popping out kids like gumball machines — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 7, 2013
I almost concocted a foetus when i was 15. Scary times — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 7, 2013
And this was the second time, in the same month!
I just became an uncle again, to a little female human! — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 13, 2013
Dont congratulate me! I didnt make her — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 13, 2013
Becoming an uncle was the easiest thing i ever had to do — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 13, 2013
For a while, Mat Zo was trying to get his new account verified by Twitter…
Doubt I’ll ever get verified again, you only get it once, like chicken pox or an appendectomy
— 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 7, 2013
Until verification I’m just a haze of probability — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 7, 2013
Twitters got me questioning my own existence — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 10, 2013
He seemed ecstatic when he finally got verified… or not.
I gotz me a verification! I’ll give it to charity — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 27, 2013
What people dont realise is once youve been verified you have to walk around with that blue tick all the time, its a hassle — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 27, 2013
The earthly and matter-of-fact-kind-of-guy side of Mat Zo which you fall in love with instantly:

How the fuck do people find enough material for a 2 hour show every week? I was out of new tunes halfway through — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 23, 2013

Last time at Amnesia everyone left so I started playing angry dnb. The two guys left at the end said it was the best music theyd ever heard — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 15, 2013
So i guess the cameraman at ezoo likes tits. We all love tits. Better than my visuals anyday — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 5, 2013
No thrills, no frills, and no fashion sense. Just music. Thats all you’ll get out of me — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 26, 2013

I have a whole row to myself, wifi for days, dried apricots. Im king of the universe — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 27, 2013
Mat’s reaction to the Miley Cyrus twerk was by far the most hilarious.
Since I dont watch TV and I dont have any friends I’m completely detached from popular culture, so please someone tell me who Miley Cyrus is — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 27, 2013
Whoever Miley Cyrus is, she must be extremely talented, or maybe she made some great scientific discovery — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 27, 2013
In this world, people are only famous if theyve achieved great things, or made huge contributions to society. I love how things make sense — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 27, 2013
Why is Stephen Hawking famous even though he cant twerk? Talentless fuck — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 27, 2013
Mat is not a staunch believer in God. In fact, he’s probably an atheist, which is evident in his profanatory tweets (which later turn into a philosophical rant):
I can prove the non existence of god. After billions of years, hes not even verified on twitter
— 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 27, 2013
I have no idea how mormons can believe jesus visited america. Try getting through airport immigration looking like that — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 27, 2013
I have an imaginary friend called god, I blame him for everything — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 27, 2013
This world is so full of sin, I think its time to find another scruffy guy and crucify the fuck out of him — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 27, 2013
I wish jesus would come back and make wearing flip flops cool again — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) August 27, 2013
America can be a scary place if youre an atheist — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 15, 2013
Maybe there is a god, but the only thing thats rules over us is us… and the federal government — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 15, 2013
Im not even really an atheist anymore. I believe in an ultimate observer that does fuck all except exist — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 15, 2013
Ive realised believing in god isnt the problem, its believing in people who tell you what god is — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 15, 2013
Philosophical rant over — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 15, 2013
Everyone took to Twitter to express their thoughts about the recent Electric Zoo tragedy, and so did Mat. Looks like he cannot part with his tinge of humor…
If youre going to be an idiot when youre on drugs, tell me now so i can ban you from my shows — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 4, 2013
I’ve never had someone die at my shows, and i plan to keep it that way. Shitting in your pants is ok tho — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 4, 2013

Mat Zo’s latest track with Chuck D is out. By the looks of it, its video is produced to perfection…

I dont post tracklists for my mixes for 2 reasons. 1. Laziness 2. Its cool to watch you guys put the tracklist together like a puzzle — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 18, 2013
Also it takes me fucking ages to do my radio show. At least 4-6 hours per show and its only 1 hour. SO NO TRACKLISTS FOR YOU — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 18, 2013
I SAID NO SOUP FOR YOU — 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 18, 2013

And some random musings of Mat’s life…
Today i decided to have porridge. Why do middle class people tourture themselves with disgusting food made from horse food?
— 川八丅。乙〇 (@Mat_Zo_Official) September 20, 2013
No one ever says “I would love a bowl of oatmeal right now
