Franz Matthews

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. Whether through his own HIFI/LOFI Records imprint or releases on Eskimo, Feines Tier, AEON, ROAM, Heimlich… Franz’s productions consistently weave narrative, nostalgia, and groove. Moreover, 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. From Berlin institutions like Sisyphos and Kater Blau to festivals such as Château Perché, Reeperbahn, and tours across Europe, the US, and Mexico, Franz’s heady and danceful magic continues to turn dancefloors into portals — always with the heart, always bringing the heat.
