From the vibrant shores of Croatia to the pulsating heartbeats of tech house arenas worldwide, Matroda’s ascent in the electronic music domain is nothing short of meteoric. Steeped in the rich legacies of music legends such as Led Zeppelin, Frank Sinatra, and The Beatles, this multifaceted artist blends classic influences with a futuristic vision, underpinned by his rigorous classical training.

However, to truly fathom the depth of Matroda’s sonic odyssey, one need not look further than his seminal EP, Jack The House 4. It’s a epic illustration of sorts – encapsulating his evolving narrative. The EP commences with “My Mind,” an audacious blend of classic house vocals and powerful basslines. The journey takes a mellifluous turn with “Can’t Fight The Feeling”, a harmonious blend of piano chords and deep vocals. The near all-instrumental “I Want It” serves as a testament to his artistry, followed by the gritty vibes of “In The Air”. “Pump Up The Volume” electrifies with its vibrant chords, while “Talk To Me”, in collaboration with TOBEHONEST, sums up the EP’s well-crafted nature.

Amidst this sonic brilliance, accolades have naturally followed. With a glittering past that includes remixes championed by the likes of Diplo and Calvin Harris, and chart-topping tracks such as “Disco Tool”, Matroda’s trajectory is undeniably upward. Here’s to the ‘matrodasound’ – a unique blend, an unparalleled journey, and an unmatched future.

Posted by TMN Staff - August 22, 2023

The bass music scene, historically dominated by a handful of influential artists, is getting shook up by Edison Cole. The Los Angeles-based prodigy’s trajectory is nothing short of a meteoric ascent. 2022 saw him detonate the landscape with self-released tracks under Eon Music, hitting over 100K streams within the initial 60 days. And the explosive success didn’t stop there. Come September, his independent track clinched the top spot on Spotify’s premier bass playlist “Dubstep Don” not once, but an astounding three weeks consecutively.

It’s the “Self Destruction Mode” remix, presented via The Chainsmokers on Tomorrowland’s iconic Mainstage, that truly exemplifies Edison’s epic style. The track effortlessly marries bludnymph & Drew’s resonant voices with his melodic ingenuity, culminating in one of 2023’s most rhapsodic drops.

What stands out about Cole is his ability to infuse fresh life into remixes. His electrifying rework of Calvin Harris’ “Miracle” became an instant sensation, garnering over 250K streams in just two months. It’s no wonder then that heavyweight DJs like Jauz, Svdden Death, and even the larger-than-life Dj Diesel (Shaquille O’Neal) have jumped onto the Edison Cole bandwagon.

Beyond his recordings, Edison’s live sets have become well-known for their ceaseless energy. He’s not just challenging the conventions of bass music; he’s going beyond them.
