Dave Matthias
Electronic artist Dave Matthias is an in-demand remixer, DJ, and radio host known for his progressive house and trance music. First emerging in the 1990s, Matthias has garnered chart success curating remix albums including 2000's In My House, There's a Disco, 2004's Maximum Workout, and 2007's Best of Pure Dance Party. He has scored over ten number one Billboard Dance Chart remixes, including hits for Jennifer Lopez, Dua Lipa, and Janet Jackson. He has also released several compilations of his own house and club tracks, including 2019's This Is My House. With a steady flow of singles like 2019's "Madness in the Dark" and 2023's "Worst Behavior," both with Grammy-winning songwriter Makeba, Matthias remains a regular presence on the dance music scene.
Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, Matthias studied broadcast communications and initially got his start working in TV. By the early '90s, he had transitioned into music, DJ'ing at various clubs in the Bay Area. He also became a Billboard Magazine Dance Chart reporter. His popularity eventually led to him hosting his own radio shows, including The Matthias Mix on KBBF 89.1 FM and St. John's Playhouse on KYLD/WILD 107 FM, where he popularized his remixes and radio edits of songs by Jungle Brothers, Cassius, Armin Van Buuren, and others. He has also garnered attention for his official radio edits of Armand Van Helden's hit "The Funk Phenomena." In 2000, Matthias released the first of his multi-volume mixtape In My House, There's a Disco. Also that year, he launched the nationally syndicated dance-radio mix show The Digital Groove.
Working with a bevy of high-profile artists, he has scored numerous Top Five and Top Ten Dance Chart remixes, including number ones for Jennifer Lopez ("Baila Conmigo"), Janet Jackson ("Made for Now"), Christina Aguilera ("Accelerate"), Dua Lipa ("Be the One"), Rihanna ("Pose"), and Toni Braxton ("Coping"), among others. Matthias has also curated numerous mix albums, including 2002's Future Sounds of Trance 1, 2003's Pure Dance Party, and 2004's Maximum Workout.
In 2019, he released two compilations of his house and club tracks, This Is My House and This Life. Along with remixes of songs by Oriko and St. Levi, France Joli, and others, he has released a bevy of his own singles. In 2019, he collaborated with Grammy-winning songwriter Makeba on the track "Madness and the Dark," which hit number ten on the U.K. Music Week Upfront Club Chart, and 13 on Billboard's Dance Chart. More Matthias and Makeba collaborations followed, including 2020's "So in Love" and 2023's "Worst Behavior." Also in 2023, he released several more original singles, including "The Way It Feels" and "Don't Make Me Wait," before landing a Top Five U.K. Music Week hit with his remixes of legendary R&B singer Betty Harris' "Show It."
