From the streets of Toulouse, France to the bustling beats of global techno stages, Mathieu Mourareau's ascendancy as Space 92 has been nothing short of meteoric. His journey, marked by ambition, talent, and relentless hard work, gained particular traction in 2020. That year, his distinctive sound signature resonated across the techno realm, scoring a significant impact on the Beatport charts.

Tracks such as his remix of Twins Project’s “Bass In Your Face” and the formidable collaboration with Yellow Heads on "Planet X" defined his 2020 portfolio. These releases not only amplified his presence in the music scene but also set the tone for what was to come. "Mercury", his subsequent collaboration with HI-LO, quickly garnered over 12 million streams.

This was complemented by the release of the "Gravity EP", showcasing his prowess in blending trance-inspired crescendos with solid warehouse rhythms.
