Matsu
Biografía
Matsu is a Brooklyn-based DJ and producer whose journey from battle DJ to forward-thinking dance music producer has earned him a reputation for technical mastery and innovation. From competing on global stages like Redbull 3Style and A-Trak’s Goldie Awards, to creating genre-blurring club anthems, Matsu continues to push boundaries in the scene.
Known for tracks like “Soul Medicine” and “Wanna Play?!,” Matsu’s high-energy grooves fuse precision with creative flair. Recognized by DJ Mag as one of 2024’s “emerging artists to watch for”, Matsu is cementing his place as a rising force in dance music.
With solo releases on labels like Insomniac’s IN/Rotation, Confession, and his own Slow Roast Records (where he collaborates with DJ Craze), Matsu has steadily grown his label support. At Slow Roast, he and Craze help guide the next generation of DJs and producers while driving the label’s cutting-edge sound.
As one half of Omicasa, Matsu brings an electro-inspired, blog-house edge to his sound, with standout releases like “Ultimate” on Dirtybird. Their other tracks like “Big Groove” and “In Dih Bih” have gained support from heavyweights like Chris Lake, AC Slater, Chris Lorenzo and Walker & Royce.
Collaborations like the “Pressure” EP with Matthew Law on Fool’s Gold show his underground versatility, blending breakbeat and Jersey club elements. His Nervous Records hit, “Fading” with Mike Deuce, showcases his ability to layer soulful vocals over thick 808s and hard-hitting drums. His baile funk inspired release “40 Degrees” with collaborator Ootoro on Insomniac Records imprint Nightmode, showcases Matsu’s global sensibilities while staying true to his club roots, and even caught the attention of Noisia’s VISION Radio.
Matsu’s most recent single, Horizon (Me & U), taps into his soulful sample side. The track touched down on Confession in February, caching the attention of label boss and internationally acclaimed Tchami,
His journey from turntablism to club-ready productions speaks to a deep understanding of both the technical and creative sides of DJing. Matsu remains committed to evolving his craft, staying authentic while pushing dance music forward, setting himself apart in an ever-changing landscape and growing his footprint in the dance music world.
