Underground music sharing only the best in - progressive house, techno, tech house & deep house.

Matt Gouck is the Northern Irish man who has progressive music on his mind 24/7.
His passion for electronic music was awakened from listening to the clubby prog sounds of the late 90s and early 2000s. Before going digital Matt started out on Technics 1210’s, he learned how to mix at the school for promising electronic talent ‘Sonic Academy’ and his first gig came at aged 20.
The gigs continued as his reputation grew as a stand out warm up DJ in NI who was playing different music than most of his peers. With the NI club scene being mostly trance orientated, Matt has stayed true to his progressive roots. As well as playing in numerous smaller club nights around the country, promoter Col Hamilton heard Matt and invited him to play in one of the longest running weekly super clubs in the UK, and the most famous club in Ireland, ‘the mighty’ LUSH in Portrush.
As a producer Matt has set his sights on the wider international prog fanbase and gained support from Djs like Cosmic Gate, Grum, Cristoph, Fatum, Third Party, and Chicane to name but a few. A Matt Gouck track can be a lighter and darker sound but always dancefloor driven. He is often taking inspiration from a love for the great outdoors, stunning wild scenery, the mystery of Autumn, the bleakness of Winter or hopeful Spring and uplifting Summer. Matt uses these nature and seasonal themes in his music.
Matt Gouck is a new hope for Northern Irish progressive music as he continues to show the world his impressive production and cultured DJ sets.

Host of “The Episodes”, a monthly podcast showcasing new and classic progressive, organic & melodic house.

Mark Stewart, who goes by the artist name AETHA, has a style of music that would mostly fall under the progressive house genre with a dark and melodic edge. 

“I aim to make music that moves and connects with people, both physically and emotionally.”

Mark has many influences and says he loves anything that the likes of Anjuna, Zero 3, Colourize, Joof, Area Verde, UV, Afterlife and the like release.

Deeper musical influences are wide and varied including pop music, electro house, experimental electronic music, drum and bass, rock and more.

After a handful of releases, Mark needed to make space for other commitments over the 2021-2022 period. 

Looking forward to 2023, Mark is committed to ensuring that AETHA will become a household name to those that are fans of progressive house and the aforementioned artists! 

MUSICAL JOURNEY

While always having a very strong interest in music, It wasn’t until 2006, the start of what would be four years spent living in London, UK, that Mark developed a real passion for electronic music. Many nights spent out at clubs and especially at the big multi day festivals around Europe laid the foundation for his music production today. At the time he was working as a web developer which meant that he could spend the majority of every working day with headphones on, fine tuning his electronic music tastes.

“Near the end of my time in London, I finally was able to afford a decent computer and bought my first Mac. I remember very well installing my music production software for the first time and starting to play around. While I had no idea what I was doing, it was magical to me to be able to express my musical creativity and compose a full track with nothing but a computer. I was hooked and my journey began.” 

It took Mark many years of on again, off again periods of making music in amongst life’s other commitments including marriage and starting a family to start to take music production as a more serious side project, learn all the skills needed to consistently finish quality tracks and get them signed.

“One of the things I love about music production is the fact that there is always something else to learn, something to improve upon for next time. I love learning new things and working out how to become more efficient while also allowing myself to get into flow with the creative process. Making music deeply satisfies me on many levels.”

“Taking music from a side hobby to a full time career is my goal for 2023 and beyond, so like and follow on your favourite socials to follow my journey!!”
