French DJ and producer MATRAKK has signed with Amsterdam-based Meanwhile Agency for his EU and UK touring bookings, a major step forward for one of the hard dance scene’s most exciting names.
MATRAKK, who hails from Lyon, France, burst onto the electronic music scene in 2020 with My Drums Hard, a hard-driving anthem that quickly became a staple in raves and clubs across Europe.
He followed that up with Mon Amour in 2022, and a string of powerful releases including Contre-Sens 2 and Space Invaders, cementing his reputation for explosive productions and razor-sharp mixing.
His latest self-released EP, Once Again…, dropped in late 2025 and marked a clear creative evolution. The three-track project draws from trance, hard house, and melodic techno, trading raw intensity for emotional depth without losing any of its dancefloor firepower. Tracks like Take Me To The Sky, You & Me, and Move On showcase an artist refining his energy while staying true to his rave roots.
Meanwhile Agency, headquartered in Amsterdam, is known for building careers at the underground and overground levels of electronic music. Their roster includes respected artists such as Joris Voorn, Bart Skils, Chris Stussy, and Mella Dee; making MATRAKK a strong addition to their hard dance and rave offering.
For promoters and festival bookers, EU/UK bookings (excluding France and Belgium) can now be handled directly through Meanwhile Agency. It’s a partnership that makes a lot of sense: a forward-thinking agency, an artist on the rise, and a European dance scene hungry for exactly what MATRAKK delivers.
Takeaways
This signing isn’t just a business move, it’s a signal. MATRAKK is clearly thinking bigger. After years of self-releasing and grinding through the rave circuit independently, linking up with an established agency like Meanwhile gives him the infrastructure to scale across Europe in a serious way.
What makes this particularly interesting is the timing. The Once Again… EP shows MATRAKK in transition: a harder, more evolved sound that appeals to both longtime fans and newer trance-adjacent audiences.
Signing with an agency that manages a diverse electronic roster suggests he’s ready to play bigger rooms, reach broader crowds, and position himself for major festival slots across the EU and UK.
Meanwhile Agency has also proven they know how to grow artists. Their recent signing of Riordan earlier this year followed a similar trajectory. For MATRAKK, this could be the launchpad that takes him from “cult favourite” to main stage.
Could this signing fast-track MATRAKK onto major European festival lineups like ADE, Awakenings, or Fabric? Is Meanwhile Agency becoming the go-to home for hard dance and rave artists breaking into the European market?
