Driven by a passion for discovering music; deacon has built a formidable collection spanning from downtempo through psychedelic techno to a deep progressive all containing a homogeneous groovy energy and impeccable sound design. Currently signed to @techgnosisrecords, he carefully selects tracks to create an eccentric narrative tailored to each event and lineup with one purpose: to introduce new sounds that bridge division and bring connection through sound and movement.

Full bio:
Driven foremost by a passion for discovering new music; Matthew Deacon has built a treasure chest of audible gold and has been sharing these gems with dancefloors for over a decade now.

A varying palate for sound led to the discovery of psychedelic techno in 2017 and prompted a rebrand under his namesake with a more focused sound. Hooked by the layers, depth, vast variety of sounds and intrinsic musical nature the genre presented led to the emergence of the soundscape we know as Deacon.

As time progressed he started discovering more music, artists and labels representing these similar characteristics; at a higher tempo there was deep/dark progressive, a lighter side of Zenonesque, and slowing things down with a reinterpretation of downtempo, akin to pitched down techno. And whilst these can be considered three distinct genres, they all hold a similar energy; with deep basslines, organic elements and impeccable production, and Deacon enjoys navigating between them. Carefully selecting tracks to create an eccentric narrative tailored to the event and lineup with one purpose: to bridge division and bring connection through sound and movement.

Imagine you're at a great techno party and have just heard the last track when the DJ switches on the lights and a murmur spreads through the crowd: It's time for the afterhour!

Welcome to a world where the sun is not the enemy, but a silent witness to sleepless nights and unlimited dance floor adventures

The afterhour is more than just an extension of the night - it is a universe of its own full of quirky, heartfelt and often hilarious moments. It is the place where the music lives on, time stands still and the party community forges its strongest bonds - even if it is sometimes only perceived with half an open eye and a wry smile. 

Over 10 years we host our famous podcast series. Which started as an small idea of some Afterhour nerds developed over the years to something special for us ♥️

In the beginning, we focused on finding and supporting (un)known artists through blog posts, reposts and podcast contributions. Gradually, we expanded our sections to include live recordings and premieres. In-house releases and events were not long in coming. 

Join us and dive into the world of Afterhour Sounds. https://t.me/afterhour_sounds  🌈 🎵 🪩

⣿ The wren is a small bird, delicate in form yet vast in voice — no two of its 88 species sing alike. In much the same way, WREN (an Australian artist, now rooted in Berlin) weaves her own distinct sound through music and dance, creating experiences that bring people together with meaning, heart, and celebration.

Her DJ sets are often described as emotive journeys — unfolding like stories that stir tears, goosebumps, and moments of liberation on the dance floor. With a style that flows between euphoric spoken word, dynamic world electronic rhythms, deep basslines, and earthy undertones, WREN’s music carries a sensual pulse of Afro- and Latin-inspired beats, always with a thread that reconnects dancers to the natural world.

Along the way, she has had the joy of sharing stages with Osunlade (USA), Viken Arman (FR), SUB-TRIBE (NZ), MAGNUS (UK), and Tijuana Cartel (AU). Most recently, she debuted her EP WINGS with Berlin/USA label trndmsk — a work that embodies her love for global collaboration.

Through every set and song, WREN’s intention is simple - to guide people back to connection with themselves, nature and others.

between heartwarming downtempo 
and driving midtempo

Born and raised in a hotel bar, at 5 years old Caterina’s favorite toys were the jukebox and her roller skates. Her childhood was filled with music as she spent countless hours in her family home's basement, dancing and listening to the records of the time. She started making mixtapes at the age of 9 when she received her first radio cassette.
Her sound is characterized by indie dance, dark disco, progressive house, and downtempo, with a distinct touch of the '80s and groovy basslines. Influenced by post-punk and new wave music, her style brings a nostalgic yet a fresh edgy vibe to the dance floor.
As a member of Montreal’s Cosmovision Records, Caterina has captivated audiences worldwide, performing at festivals like Envision in Costa Rica, Omnia, Illusion, Era, and BeatValley. Her music has moved crowds from Montreal’s underground lofts events to beach parties across Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Thailand, France, Spain, and all the way to Burning Man’s deep playa. She’s also graced the decks at prominent clubs in Montreal, France, Japan, and Berlin, including iconic venues like Klunkerkranich and Sisyphos.

In the depth of music you close your eyes. You close your eyes to open your heart. You open your heart to give in to the strength of floating spaces of music. Welcome to the sound of Just Emma. The duo manages to make you drift from reality to a fictional journey into a different world. For more than four years Alex and Saskia have been part of the electronic music scene, spreading their driving, deep, hence melodic and playful sound focusing on one message their music reveals to every single person: love! While Saskia‘s musical skills developed during early childhood piano lessons, Alex made first contact with electronic music with his “Minimal Lounge“ solo project. Releasing on labels such as Katermukke, Sol Selectas, 3000Grad and Connaisseur Recordings it is their own imprint Underyourskin Records that has been causing a buzz lately and on which Just Emma releases their dark and melodic interpretation of electronic music. Therefore the duo prefers to play the early morning hours to attract the crowd with an ocean of diverse sounds.
