Matt G rockin' the spot for the epic Viva 12hr w/ DJ Spen @ Monkey Loft.

Matt G Live DJ Set @ THIS! For Viva Recordings - August 19th 2023

Quality House Music From Seattle, WA USA

Founded in early 1998, the goal was to consistently put out records that would be loved and played by many in the house music community. Viva Recordings found success with its first debut from Johnny Fiasco and the with Rick Preston's Altruism EP, which gained notoriety when "Spring Fling" was featured on Mark Farina's San Francisco Sessions Vol.1. From these early releases the road was paved for Viva Recordings' success. Over the last few years we have been working on personal projects but now have decided to bring the label back and take the Viva name back. If you feel your music fits in the scope of our label please send demos to our A&R/Label Manager Chad Neiro at his email.

MattG's journey to the decks began humbly on Seattle's dance floors, where he immersed himself in the city's thriving house music community. As a devoted dancer and eager student, he spent countless nights observing the craft of local DJs while developing an instinctive feel for what resonates with crowds. This grassroots education became the cornerstone of his approach when he eventually stepped behind the booth after retuning in 2017.

With deep gratitude for the mentorship received from Seattle's generous DJ community, MattG has cultivated a distinctive sound that thoughtfully blends house, tech house, deep house, and breaks. His sets reflect not only technical proficiency but an authentic understanding of the dance floor experience, wisdom gained through years of being part of the crowd himself.

Over the past eight years, MattG has had the privilege of honing his craft through performances at local Seattle venues and Twitch streams, always with appreciation for the opportunities the community has provided. His sets are marked by infectious energy and fluid transitions, showcasing his dedication to exploring house music's evolving landscape while honoring the traditions that shaped him.

Whether energizing packed dance floors or connecting with streaming audiences worldwide, MattG brings the same genuine passion that first drew him to Seattle's house scene. He remains committed to continuous learning, approaching each performance with humility and deep respect for both the music and the vibrant community that nurtured his growth as an artist.
