Biography

The story

A rising force in EDM, ETHER (Matthew Hagan) crafts immersive sonic landscapes that encapsulate the extremes of euphoria and despair. The name is no accident: ether is the fifth element, the substance that fills the universe beyond the four classical, the bridge between the physical and the spiritual. Every track is a passage between those two states.

A high-energy blend of Bass, Trap, Dubstep, and Deep Dub, the ETHER sound is built for the cinematic moment: the drop you feel in your sternum, the breakdown that strips a room to its bones. Matt doesn’t follow waves. He creates them.

Active since November 2022, ETHER has shared stages with Diesel (Shaq), Tape B, Deathpact, Levity, Mersiv, Inzo, Champagne Drip, Jantsen, Ruvlo, Sippy, Space Wizard, Mary Droppins, Capochino, Dirty Snatcha, Shanghai Doom, Leotrix, Conrank, Flozone, Seth David, and Spades. Festival appearances include Electric Forest, Shambhala, Mission Ballroom, Texas Eclipse, Freaky Deaky, and ILLfest.
