Funkin Matt Drops ‘Perfect Dark’

With “Perfect Dark”, Funkin Matt’s Nostalgia EP takes another step into the world of garage house. The track evokes both confidence and nostalgia, reminiscent of late-night adventures playing video games as a kid, times when anything seemed possible. It’s a journey back to those unforgettable moments in an alternate world, where time stood still and every second felt like magic. 

“This track blends my love for Afro house music with huge synths. It’s heavily rhythm-focused, where every percussion hit matters. It’s the heaviest tune on the EP, inspired in part by my earlier, more club-focused tracks, especially from the Dutch house era. It should sound effortless yet complex, with no unnecessary fluff—just pure energy.” – Funkin Matt

“Perfect Dark” is the third track on Funkin Matt’s Nostalgia EP and the second-to-last track on the full release. So far, the Norwegian producer’s EP has gained support from some of the industry’s biggest names, including Oliver Heldens, Martin Garrix, Don Diablo, Nicky Romero, Blasterjaxx, R3HAB, Sam Feldt, Mike Williams, Lucas & Steve, DJs From Mars, and Jay Hardway.

“After returning from Shambhala, an incredible festival nestled deep in the Canadian woods, I found myself in an inspired creative flow. Imagine a massive rave in the middle of nowhere, with hundreds of lasers illuminating the treetops and thousands of people dancing together. It felt surreal, like a dream or a live movie set” – Funkin Matt.

With Perfect Dark as the penultimate track, the release of MiniDisc on April 11 will mark the conclusion of the Nostalgia EP—a project that embodies Funkin Matt’s deep connection to nostalgia.
