Hailing from Melbourne, Matter (Matty Doyle) has carved out a distinct presence in the world of
deep, melodic and progressive music. A long-time DJ and vinyl head turned producer, his sound
blends hypnotic rhythm structures, immersive atmospheres and emotional depth — music
designed for altered states and shared connection.
With a string of standout releases on revered imprints like Sudbeat, Anjunadeep, Replug, and
Balance, Matter’s studio work continues to resonate with global audiences and selectors alike.
His music regularly finds support from the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, Guy J, Nick Warren and
more.

‍
Matter’s journey as an artist has also been defined by his long-form work, with two acclaimed
studio albums to date — Starchild (2021), a cosmic exploration of identity and emotion, and You
Are Here (2024), a grounded and introspective follow-up that captures the feeling of presence
and connection in a shifting world.

‍
A pivotal chapter began in 2020 with the launch of Meanwhile Recordings, the label
co-founded with long-time collaborator GMJ. Since then, it’s become a trusted home for
forward-thinking progressive and deep music — both for the duo’s own projects and an
ever-growing roster of talent from around the world. The expansion into Meanwhile Horizons
has given space for a deeper, more melodic vision, helping to shape one of the most consistent
and respected brands in the scene.

On stage, Matter brings his unique take on live performance and DJing — always dialled into
the crowd, always telling a story. With momentum building year on year, he continues to evolve
as an artist pushing boundaries while staying rooted in the dancefloor.
