- Sassari comes off a strong run of global touring and chart success, including a Beatport #1 with “Put A Record On” and a viral rework of Timbaland’s classic, gaining over 500K monthly Spotify listeners.

Marseille-born DJ and producer Matt Sassari has officially signed with Spin Artist Agency, an industry-leading independent booking agency in the dance music scene with a presence across North and South America.
Nirvana Howell, the same Nirvana Howell who recently handled the Will Sass signing at Spin, will serve as his primary agent. Stephen Macias of Contact Artist Agency continues as his manager.
Sassari has built a strong reputation internationally as a Marseille-based DJ and producer, blending Techno and Tech House in a way that earned him a #1 overall Beatport chart position with “Put A Record On” in 2019.
More recently, Sassari dropped “Give It To Me,” an official adaptation of Timbaland’s 2007 Hip-Hop classic, originally a US Billboard #1 and #1 UK Singles Chart hit featuring Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake. The record introduced him to a whole new wave of listeners.
Sassari’s releases have garnered millions of streams and digital sales worldwide, including the platinum-certified “Give It To Me.” He has also performed at major events like the Amsterdam Dance Event and holds a residency at Cabaret Aleatoire in Marseille.
His most recent output has kept pace with his reputation. He collaborated with Alan Fitzpatrick on “Lost in Sound” in 2025, and released “Crazy” featuring Amira Eldine in early 2026, showing no signs of slowing down creatively.
Spin Artist Agency has established itself across North and South America over the past 14 years, representing high-profile talent including Avicii, MEDUZA, and James Hype.
The agency’s growing 2026 roster signals an aggressive push to lock in globally recognized electronic acts, a trend also seen with Brandi Cyrus signing with UTA for live representation earlier this month.
Takeaways
This signing is a big deal, and not just on paper. Matt Sassari has spent over a decade building one of the most consistent catalogues in underground electronic music, releasing on the biggest techno and tech house labels in the world and earning the respect of peers like Carl Cox and Adam Beyer along the way.
Partnering with Spin Artist Agency gives him a serious live touring infrastructure in the Americas, a market where demand for credible underground electronic acts continues to grow fast.
What makes this especially interesting is the timing. Sassari is coming off arguably his biggest commercial moment: a platinum-certified track, 10 million+ Spotify monthly listeners, and a string of high-profile collaborations heading into 2026.
Spin isn’t taking a bet on a rising act here; they’re locking in an established global draw with room to grow even further in North and South America.
Could this deal open the door for Matt Sassari to headline major US festivals like EDC or Movement? What does this signing say about the growing appetite for European electronic artists among North American booking agencies?
