My set at Kater last friday was a loooot of fun! A bit dirty, a bit WTF, full of energy, travelling around different parts of the world, and taking some unexpected turns along the way (isn’t it what life is all about ?). 
Most of all, it’s been a rolling rollercoaster from start to finish, and it’s now here for you to enjoy <3

Franz Matthews @ Kater | Acid Bogen | 23.05.25

There’s a good chance that this set was our last set ever at Renate before its possible closing at
the end of the year... but are we glad we decided to press record at the last minute, to witness a
personal moment of our love story with this club. Thanks for all the dancers who shared this
amazing 2 hours with us, and to Berny for having us at his takeover <3

Franz Matthews x Bonnie Spacey @ Renate - Green Room, 29.08.25

Blending analog warmth with cosmic groove, Franco-German producer, DJ, and live performer Franz Matthews has carved out a distinctive space in the nu-disco / groovy house scene. Based in Berlin, he channels a lifetime of musical exploration-from classical piano and jazz studies to psychedelic rock and world influences-into hypnotic, story-driven soundscapes. His tracks often feel cinematic, balancing pulse and spiritual poetry, with layers of synths, bass, guitars, and organic percussion that evoke both nostalgia and discovery.
 
As the creative mind behind HIFI/LOFI Records, he pushes new artists and brings out music that transcends genres and borders. His own releases on labels like AEON, Feines Tier, Eskimo Recordings showcase his unique sonic fingerprint: emotional yet danceable, dreamy yet grounded. Collaborations with artists such as Local Suicide, Johannes Klingebiel, Bonnie Spacey, and remixes amassing a huge number of streams-have further solidified his reputation as a craftsman of immersive club narratives.
 
Franz Matthews doesn’t just make tracks; he builds worlds where house meets psychedelia, and where every rhythm tells a story.

The most sentimental track from the past

Artist : Languages
Track : Sleep Stream
Label : Days Of Being Wild

Beatport : https://bit.ly/4p5cEwH

"Sleep Stream was part of the first release of my Yoga Disco side project & duo Languages back in...2016! Quickly after releasing it on my good friend's label Days Of Being Wild - along with a pretty funky music video, which I dare you to undust if you wanna have a laugh! - Eskimo Recordings got in touch with us and asked us to hear more. This release got my foot in the door of this bigger label, and surely opened many other doors behind, after we released our Franz Matthews x Local Suicide collab EP 'Meditation / Tutan Jamon' on Eskimo as well. Languages sort of collapsed shortly after unfortunately, but we still have some demos laying around, and Ed and I have been talking about maybe releasing them sometime soon, so...who knows what's coming up ;) "

BIO:
Based in Berlin, the versatile producer, DJ and live act Franz Matthews is known for crafting groove-heavy Indie Dance, funk-infused House, and dreamy club psychedelia with emotional depth. Built for cosmic dancefloors and mental travelers of the present moment, his sound blends worlds together, while always exploring new sonic territories, and always adding something meaningful to the experience. 

Born in France and raised between cultures, Franz’s musical journey began with classical piano, guitar, and jazz studies, later channeling those foundations into psychedelic and progressive rock bands and, eventually, electronic music. Inspired by acts like LCD Soundsystem and Soulwax, he fused his love of analog warmth and hypnotic rhythms into a signature style that bridges eras and genres -  always guided by artistic integrity, strong commitment, and a deep attention to sonic detail, all while keeping a healthy dose of humor and self-irony.

Whether through his own HIFI/LOFI Records imprint or releases on Eskimo Recordings, Feines Tier, AEON, ROAM, Heimlich… Franz’s productions consistently weave narrative, nostalgia, and groove. His acclaimed remix for Aisha Badru has amassed over 5 million streams on Spotify, while collaborating and getting remixed by the likes of Aera, Chaim, Michael Mayer, The Organism, and Local Suicide have reinforced his position as a genre-blurring tastemaker.

On the way to nowhere, where the sun never sleeps, where your tears turn into sweat, where your mind forgets your body and your body does not mind, where you feel like being born again but you're just dying while laughing, on this dusty road you've never been but can still recall, stands a place with enough room for your nights, Motel77

I’ve played a lot of places so far this year - Sydney, Bangkok, Beijing, Singapore, London, NYC, DC, Detroit, LA, London, Paris, Madrid, Cornwall and of course Dundee amongst others. But next week I am headed to Love International Festival in Croatia and I am really excited to be playing there for the first time. 

Even better I am playing an all day session with two of my favs Ray Mang and Joutro Mundo down The Olive Grove. I’ve played with these two belters in clubs, warehouses, beach parties and boat parties over the last few years. I love their music and love playing and hanging with them. I can’t wait. The vibes will be strong. 

It will also be the last gig for a month or so as I am taking a break to do some other stuff. And it seems right to finish at Love International as it is such a crazy gathering of DJs and party people from around the world in the beautiful setting of Tisno. 

So anyway I decided to throw a mix together as I've not done one for a while that is packed full of the tunes that have done it for me so far this year (and some old ones that still do) and which weaves together special dance floor moments from all those places I have visited so far this year into something I hope will please your ears and maybe make you want to dance. 

Enjoy the music. Hope to see some of you in the Olive Grove next week x

We are happy to announce the debut EP Portuguese-Italian Vhyce.
After his track „Back To Where I Never Was“ on a well received Lost Tapes Vol. 4, he is no stranger to the AEON camp anymore. Known from his releases on Catz N’ Dogz „Pets Recordings“, the young producer delivers a stunning 4 track EP with the title „These Words“.
Vhyce has a very characteristic sound design, which makes his simple and almost minimalistic, but catchy tunes so special; Though always trying to add something new to his repertoire. Like on the title track „These Words“ it was one of the first few attempts for him to sing some vocals on his own instrumentals. „While not being good at singing, I think it really set you free to be able to express your ideas yourself without relying on someone else understanding of your vision,“ he claims.
The track is built around an arpeggiated bass line oscillating between two sequences thats progressively build tension without being too obvious. The lyrics „These words have no meaning“ fell mysterious and open to interpretation. 
 
On the remix duty there’s no one less but „Chicken Lips“ legend Andrew, better known as The Emperor Machine. He stripped back the original to a more funky & grooving rework.  “The plan was to create something that keeps the same emotion as the original mix but still feels different enough without changing direction too much & I think I managed to achieve that”, Andrew says. And yes, what a musical masterpiece he delivered!
„Strive for Ego“ is an attempt to fuse „Can“ & „Neu!“ Krautrock influences into a club track“, says Vicente. Constantly driving forward, with perfect temper and timing to rise tension and built up energy Track title refers to the lyrics... „I’m nobody“.
„Old You“ has a more traditional Italo Disco feel. The „happy“ sounding bass line is counterbalanced with rough and psychedelic analog leads, reminding of traveling through time and space in a 80‘s Sci-Fi movie. The vocoded lyrics shall „refer to an hate-love relationship with your old you....Maybe because it „holds you“, Vhyce describes.
