Funkin Matt, producer and DJ out of Oslo, Norway.
Ever since his first hit back in 2007 with «Bouncing Harbour Remix» Matt has been apart of the growing house scene, delivering everything from techy electro bangers («I Wish» Fool’s Gold) to future house bliss («Rapture» Mad Decent) and providing quality music with room for experimentation and genre twisting. He’s released music on Tiesto’s «Musical Freedom», Diplo’s «Mad Decent», A-Trak’s «Fool’s Gold» and Steve Aoki’s «Dim Mak» while also doing remixes and singles on Major label’s such as Sony, Warner and Universal. His latest singles Elephant (2 mill streams), Rapture (1.5 mill streams) and America (1.5 mill streams) all have proved very popular, and has together with his official Mariah Carey Remix («You’re Mine» 5 mill streams) helped making Matt’s tracks mainstays in the sets of some of the biggest DJ’s in the world. The Mariah Carey Remix also helped Mariah acheive her 18th top #1 on Billboard, when she reached #1 in the Dance/Club Chart with the Remix EP, aswell as it was Matt’s first #1 on the iconic chart. Outside of the club world Matt’s collaboration with Chris Lie «Let’s Go Deep» was a big radio hit in Norway and proved he could do more mellow music and showcasing his versatility as a producer. The same year he got featured on Ubisoft’s a-list videogame «The Crew» with his rave anthem «MAD» (Mad Decent), and also did guestmixes for both Diplo and Tiesto on their respective shows on BBC1. Into 2016 Matt already has released the acclaimed track ‘Elastic’ on Fjordin, next up is «Aero feat. Chris Lie» coming up as a follow up the darker cinematic house track «Flux» (Dim Mak, 2015).
Funkin Matt continues to expand and explore the limits of music, and with support from every major player in the business there’s only one way to go, up.
