Who Is MATTN?
MATTN is a Belgian electronic dance music producer and DJ who has become one of the most visible female artists in the global house scene. Born in Leopoldsburg, Belgium, she’s built her career on a distinctive sound: upbeat, fun, and unafraid to collaborate. Unlike artists who stay in one lane, MATTN moves fluidly between pop-tinged house, classic house grooves, and festival-friendly bangers. Her real name is Anouk Matton, and she’s ranked regularly in the top 100 DJs globally-no small feat in a scene crowded with household names.
What sets MATTN apart is her focus on joy. Her tracks often feature playful vocal samples, funk-inspired breakdowns, and hooks that stick with you after a single listen. She’s collaborated with virtually everyone worth knowing in the dance music world: Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Klaas, Timmy Trumpet, and countless others. These aren’t one-off features-MATTN is a genuine collaborator who brings out the best in the artists she works with.
MATTN’s Sound Explained
MATTN’s sound sits firmly in the house and EDM categories, but that description doesn’t quite capture her range. Her core sound is uplifting house: bright synths, punchy kicks, and grooves that sit somewhere between classic progressive house and festival-ready big room. But she’s equally at home with funk samples, vocal-driven pop hooks, and unexpected breakdowns that catch you off guard.
If you strip back her signature sound, you’ll find impeccable production fundamentals. Every MATTN track has clear, locked-in drums, tasteful EQ work, and vocals-whether sampled or newly recorded-that serve the vibe rather than dominating it. Her collaborations with other producers show technical chops; she doesn’t just provide a vocal or a name-she shapes the actual production. That’s why her features feel integral to the tracks, not tacked on.
Top 15 Tracks by MATTN
- Girlz Wanna Have Fun (ft. Stavros Martina, Kevin D): The title says it all. This track is pure joy: a funk-house fusion with a killer bass line and vocals that make you grin. It’s the song that plays right when a room needs to lighten up.
- Children (ft. Klaas, Roland Clark): A deeper house gem featuring legend Roland Clark. This one has more weight and soul than her typical club fare, with a hypnotic groove and reverb-soaked vocals.
- The Logical Song (ft. Klaas): A clever rework of the Supertramp classic, MATTN transforms it into a driving house anthem. The contrast between the original’s philosophical lyrics and the thumping bass is pure genius.
- Carnival: Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike Edit (ft. Timmy Trumpet, Wolfpack, X-TOF, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike): An epic festival moment with Timmy Trumpet on trumpet (obviously) and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike steering the ship. This track is built for main stage energy.
- Who’s That Girl (ft. CALVO, Crystal Rock): A groovy, funk-tinged house track with an irresistible vocal hook. CALVO’s vocals are smooth as butter over MATTN’s crisp production.
- Funky Town (ft. Maurice West): Exactly what the title promises: a funky house track that pulls from ’80s funk aesthetics while staying rooted in modern dance music production. Maurice West’s production touches keep it fresh.
- Somebody’s Watching Me (ft. UUFO): A house reinterpretation of a classic that somehow doesn’t feel overdone. MATTN and UUFO create something playful and danceable without losing the iconic hooks.
- Girlz Wanna Have Fun 2024 (ft. Mairee): An update on the original, this version with Mairee has slightly different production and a refresh that works well. Proof that MATTN’s vibe is timeless.
- Cafe Del Mar (ft. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Vini Vici): This collaboration features psytrance legends Vini Vici and the big room experts Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. MATTN adds a melodic, accessible layer that brings the whole thing together beautifully.
- Late Night (ft. UUFO, Shogun): A laid-back house groove perfect for late-set, after-hours moments. This track shows MATTN’s range beyond peak-hour bangers.
- Break My Soul Again: A deeper cut showcasing her ability to create tension and release within a single track. Less vocal-driven, more production-focused.
- Ocean Beach: A summery, tropical-house-influenced cut that proves MATTN can do the sunset vibe as well as the dance floor vibe.
- All Night Long: A high-energy floor-filler with rolling bass and infectious energy. Designed to build momentum in a set.
- Higher: A euphoric anthem with soaring synths and a building structure that reaches a satisfying peak. This is MATTN in aspirational mode.
- She Moves: A track that leans into her funk-house roots with a rhythm that makes your hips move involuntarily.
Why 4D4M Vibes With MATTN
Adam’s whole ethos as 4D4M centers on EDM that’s technically solid but emotionally genuine. MATTN hits that exact sweet spot. She’s not making cold, soulless banger after banger-her tracks have warmth, humor, and humanity. They make you feel something beyond just “turn up.” That’s rare at her level of production quality and reach.
There’s also something refreshing about how MATTN approaches her genre. She doesn’t gatekeep house as a serious art form or act like it needs to be stripped of fun to be credible. She makes house that’s both earnest and playful, which aligns with how 4D4M approaches his own sound and artist relationships.
