ALEKS MATIC Launches a New Era With Electrifying Single “GRIP”

Sydney-based artist ALEKS MATIC is stepping confidently into a new chapter with the release of his electrifying single “GRIP”, a track that highlights his growing presence in Australia’s dance and pop scene. A singer, songwriter, producer and DJ, MATIC creates music made for the dancefloor while exploring themes of identity, belonging and self-discovery.

Growing up in South-West Sydney, he was immersed in the glittering pop culture of the 2000s and 2010s. That era, full of bold visuals, over-the-top fun and unrestrained energy, helped shape his love for dramatic, high-energy sounds. Today, that influence is clear in his music, which balances emotional vulnerability with soaring synths, powerful basslines and cinematic production. Drawing inspiration from artists like Charli XCX, Ninajirachi, Frost Children and the golden age of EDM and house, MATIC has developed a style that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking, offering tracks that are as personal as they are club-ready.

On stage, MATIC’s performances are known for their infectious energy and versatility. He has played at Sydney institutions including Lazybones Lounge Marrickville, Oxford Art Factory, Manning Bar and the Sydney Opera House, and in 2025 he brought his dynamic DJ style to the University of Sydney’s Mardi Gras float. Beyond the music, he collaborates with local creatives in fashion, photography and design, creating a visual identity that brings his sonic world to life. His mission is simple: to make music that frees people from their worries and transforms every dancefloor into a place of connection and celebration.

“GRIP” is the lead single from MATIC’s upcoming debut album CLUB A.M., set for release in 2026. The track captures the tension between holding on and letting go, exploring the moment where shedding negativity becomes an act of freedom. It is a dance anthem where vulnerability meets euphoria, inviting listeners to lose control and immerse themselves fully in the moment. Musically, the track blends the shimmering nostalgia of 2000s and 2010s dance-pop with modern house and EDM production, resulting in a sound that is cinematic, bold and unapologetically high-energy. Every beat and vocal line pulls listeners deeper into MATIC’s world, a place where emotion, rhythm and self-expression collide.

With “GRIP”, ALEKS MATIC offers more than a single; he offers a glimpse into a new era of his music. It is an invitation to turn up the volume, let go of inhibitions and experience what it truly means to be free under the neon glow of CLUB A.M.
