MATTN
Tomorrowland Brasil 2023
MATTN at Tomorrowland Brasil 2023 is the soundtrack to a pool party that accidentally turned into a rave—a joyous, unapologetic blend of classics and current hits that reminds us why we fell in love with house music in the first place. We’re probably dancing on something slightly unstable, drink in hand, not overthinking the BPM. The vibe is pure celebration, with bright lights and a crowd riding a wave of collective nostalgia. This is tech house and mainstage house at its most fun-focused. Averaging 134.4 BPM, the set is driving and energetic, with the 7A key (9x) providing a funky, groovy foundation perfect for basslines and piano riffs.
The energy balance—55% low, 37% mid, 8% high—means the low-end is king, creating a body-moving groove that’s impossible to resist. Mixing is upbeat and crowd-oriented, using quick cuts and familiar drops to keep the energy high. For the crate diggers, opening with Bob Sinclar’s 'World, Hold On (Radio Edit)' is a genius move, instantly locking in the good-time vibe. Dropping Mauro Picotto’s 'Komodo' is a welcome dose of trance-era bombast. 'Dario G - Sunchyme' is a timeless, hands-in-the-air moment of pure joy.
'MEDUZA - Phone' brings a slick, modern deep house swing, while 'Vintage Culture - Agape' serves as a melodic, driving closer. 'Jeff Mills - The Bells' appears as a respectful, if unexpected, nod to techno purists. The journey is a rollercoaster of smiles: from the iconic opener 'World, Hold On', through the peak-time madness of 'Komodo', to the heartfelt closure of 'Agape'. We left with our voices shot from singing along, reminded that sometimes, the simplest pleasures are the best.
