We had a chat with the Belgian dance music sensation about her latest single on Smash The House Records, her DJ sets, plans for 2023 and lots more. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing a plethora of styles and influences to her music, Belgian DJ and producer MATTN<\/a> is a powerhouse within the dance music world. Since her debut in 2016, MATTN has consistently produced hits that swing on the dancefloor and easy-listening branches of dance music. Her relentless quest for gripping melodies with her trademark flavor has seen MATTN collaborate with some of the biggest names while being signed to one of the biggest labels in EDM – Smash The House. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MATTN\u2019s blend of underground and mainstage appeal has taken her to some of the biggest clubs and arenas in the world, where she has emulated her music into electrifying DJ sets. With a constant presence in DJ Mag’s top 100 list, along with millions of streams on her tunes, there is no stopping MATTN from reaching the highest echelons of dance music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belgian producer recently released a smashing single called ‘Englishman In New York’ on Smash The House as part of the label’s recently introduced year-end series. After a year full of remarkable releases, with the latest one on ‘The Crystal Winter<\/a>‘ compilation, we sat down with MATTN to know more about the single, her journey, her DJ sets, and many more exciting insights. Here is what she had to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From starting your career in 2016 to being of the finest producers in dance music, your journey has been inspirational. How would you like to describe it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MATTN: <\/strong>It\u2019s been a rollercoaster since day 1 and the ride isn\u2019t planning on stopping anytime soon. And I love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was the definitive moment in your decision to start making music and finding your staple sound?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MATTN: <\/strong>In the beginning when I was playing my first parties, it took me hours to find the tracks I liked. It was at that time that I started developing my own music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love the dancefloor-driven yet measured approach you have taken for your latest tunes on \u2018The Crystal Winter\u2019 album. Tell us about the creative process the tracks went through.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MATTN<\/strong>: \u2018Girlz Wanna Have Fun\u2019 was just all about bringing a splash of color and joy to the dancefloor! We wanted to call for summer feelings and memories of happy festival days. While making the song, we felt that a music video would re-enforce the wildness that we\u2019ve wanted to carry forward. I had so much fun recording the music video! It was all about breaking the rules and just having fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For ‘Englishman in New York,’ my home label (Smash The House) reached out to me because they wanted to create an album full of winter party anthems. I immediately chose ‘Englishman in New York’ because it\u2019s one of my favorite classics. Smash The House introduced me to Suark (an upcoming talent) and together with Dino Warriors we started creating the record!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loving the high-energy covers of \u2018Englishman in New York\u2019 and \u2018Girlz Wanna Have Fun\u2019 on the album, why did you decide to put your own style on these well-known tracks?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MATTN<\/strong>: I\u2019ve always been a fan of the classics, and it\u2019s not just me but also the crowd that loves them. So once in a while, I like to release a classic song in my own style. I think the variety of releasing new music with classics keeps it fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
