MATRAKK Recalibrates His Sound On 'Once Again...' EP

**French artist MATRAKK has looked toward the future of his project and refined his energy in the studio, culminating in the release of his latest three-track Once Again… EP.**

The dance music scene has continued to embrace a new wave of artists who are dashing genre norms and bringing dynamic soundscapes to the forefront. MATRAKK, a French DJ and producer who broke through in 2020, has helped push this mentality forward throughout his artistic journey. While much of his discography, including his 2024 album CONTRE-SENS 2, leaned more toward techno, his latest work has brought a sonic shift, with a greater focus on trance and hard house elements.

Tracks like “UN POCO” with 240 KM/H, “COMING BACK,” and “Bring The Noise” helped set the tone for what would be coming from MATRAKK as he embarked on this new chapter. Bouncy energy, ’90s nostalgia-fueled moments, and more defined these soundscapes, and now he’s put even more on display with the Once Again… EP.

Euphoric trance synths and uplifting vocals swirl in the early moments of the EP’s lead track, “Take Me To The Sky.” It builds towards a drop that is perfect for those peaktime dancefloor moments, chugging along with enough energy that you’ll find yourself bopping along to it with a smile on your face. This continues fully on “You & Me,” as MATRAKK offers another dose of warehouse rave nostalgia while layering in even more warm vocals for added effect.

The final tune, “Move On,” stands tall among the three as the ride finishes. This track is still defined by the signature synths, bubbly energy, and vocals that harken back to the other two tunes, but feels like a celebratory moment for MATRAKK as he delivers pure, unadulterated trancey bliss.

Give Once Again… a spin on Spotify or your preferred platform, and follow MATRAKK for more to come as he heads into new sonic realms.
