Not only has he championed his own shimmying low-end fueled version of house music, he’s performed at some of the most renowned music festivals, and the likes of DJ Snake, Martin Garrix, and other big names seek out his remixes. On Saturday, May 13, 2023, Gray Area is excited to welcome Matroda back to NYC for a spectacular showcase at

The Matroda sound, a phrase coined by his adamant fans to describe his unique, celebrated style of house music, has no limits in the studio. Drawing inspiration from Led Zeppelin,

The Truth (Episode IX) - Special Edition by MATRODA

Amping the room up for Matroda is Ecuadorian-born, Miami-based 

. We've had our eye on him since we heard Jamie Jones drop some of his then-unreleased IDs at Space Park in Miami. His masterful mix of soulful funk and bassline tech put him on the rosters of lauded labels like Dirtybird, Solid Grooves, Black Book, and Hot Creations. The young upstart's thumping grooves have been making the rounds from house giants like The Martinez Brothers, MK, Paco Osunaa, and John Summit at festivals and clubs worldwide. His mix for our Sirius radio show OCHO last month blew us away, and we're excited to welcome him to the Gray Area family.

Mr. Diamond’s love of music began as a child when his aunt gifted him his first guitar and taught him how to play. In the years since, Mr. Diamond has explored this passion in the form of many different genres. Now, he has found his passion in house music, releasing on some of the hottest labels like Hot Creations and Cuttin’ Headz.
