• Welcome

     

    MT805, the collaborative project between Matthew Presidente  and Tara C Taylor , is a celebration of the whimsical and light-hearted spirit of the 1980s through dance music. Drawing inspiration from iconic bands such as The Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Bronski Beat, and Erasure, MT805 promises to captivate audiences with its infectious rhythms and nostalgic melodies. Get ready to dance to the sounds of MT805!

    For over two decades, these two independent artists have forged a strong bond through co-writing, mutual support, and live performances. Despite their geographical distance, they have consistently collaborated on songwriting and content creation.

    Emerging from the shadows of the pandemic, MT805 was conceived during a time when Tara was residing in Berlin, Germany, while Matthew was in Vancouver, British Columbia. Their shared vision was to create uplifting dance music that would bring joy during a challenging period. Initially conceived as a side project, the MT805 catalog has expanded significantly, and the duo anticipates releasing an album in the spring of 2026 accompanied by a supporting tour.
