OUR PHILOSOPHY
Collision Course is founded on the following principles:

1. Heavy Music, regardless of its place on the genre spectrum, is about community. The fans get it and the bands get it. It’s important that you have a marketing team that gets it and knows that community and how to tap them. We understand the niches, the industry, the artists and how to get to those fans.

2. The integrity of the music is paramount. We are in it for the music and it’s important that you are too. We’re about working with artists and labels who want to build long-term careers and to take their genre forward, not just those who want a quick hit of stardom.

3. Marketing isn’t JUST about taking your record into a radio station or calling up a newspaper, as important as they are. Marketing is about getting the right people to hear your music and giving you the tools you need to succeed in this market, whether that’s advice on your social media, some contacts for live shows or assistance with strategic planning. When you’re working with Collision Course you don’t sign up to our team, we sign on to yours.

4. Sustainability is the best path to success. We understand that our role is to work with you to build fanbases to sustainable levels, not just to quote you a service. We want to build our relationship with you at the same time that you build your relationship with your audience, creating opportunities for all.

Mathon grew up in Holland, where in the early nineties, he developed his passion for Dance Music, through frequenting some of the region's finest clubs at the time. Passion became obsession, and this obsession soon reached its toll, making him feel he had to give something back, and therefore start to contribute towards a phenomenon, which seemed set to remain present for many decades to come.
His first appearance in front of a crowd was something he describes as the "Start of a Love Affair". So much so that within a very short period of time, he'd already performed for non-x-posed, Bozzini, Fame-us, Lazzurra, Kixx Development, Le Club Unique, Cityparade, Signs, Nightlive, Mondial, and Café Maxim's, to name but a few...
Still, he thought this wasn't enough, and that more needed to be done. This is when he bought his first synthesizer, ..., hoping to accentuate this feeling of completion when he would incorporate some of his own productions into his sets. Now the proud owner of dozens of vintage synths, ..., he counts numerous releases and remixes under his belt.
It's in Ibiza that Mathon has performing at places such as Bora Bora, Somny, Club Love,and Balearica has prooved that, not only is he an expert at setting dancefloors on fire!, he's also one of the greatest at pushing the bounderies of dance music production way beyond what is currently out there.
This summer, he will be gracing the decks in some the most prestigious venues in Spain, Holland, Belgium, and Portugal, as well as producing and remixing some of the most upfront music of the moment.
