MATTN

Family has been a focus for Belgian bigroom trendsetter, MATTN, after lockdown caused her relentless touring schedule to pause. She became a mother in 2021, welcoming her baby boy to the world this summer.

Despite the huge life change, her musical ambition has remained strong. Following a string of hits on Smash The House, her latest production for the label, ‘Funky Town’, came out this August — just in time for one of her first mainstage festival sets since restrictions were lifted, at Ostende Beach Festival. “We are truly lucky and blessed to be able to do what we love,” she tells DJ Mag. “I think none of us will take our shows for granted anymore.”
