Argentine DJ and producer Mati Troglia is officially entering a new chapter under the name METDEB. After six years of music production, more than a million annual streams, international collaborations and a first-place finish in Petit Biscuit’s remix competition, the artist is shifting his focus toward underground club music, with Minimal Deep Tech and Tech House at the center of his new creative identity.

A new name, a new musical direction and a renewed commitment to the dancefloor.

Argentine electronic music producer Mati Troglia has announced his transition to METDEB, marking a significant evolution in a career that began in 2020.

Originally from Zárate, Buenos Aires, the DJ, songwriter and producer has spent the past six years exploring different electronic music styles, building an international audience and collaborating with artists from around the world.

Now, following a period of artistic development, he is moving away from the melodic and chilled electronic sound that characterized his earlier productions.

Under METDEB, his focus turns toward Minimal Deep Tech, Tech House and groove-driven electronic music.

The change represents more than a new artist name. It reflects a creative evolution built on the experience, achievements and relationships established throughout his previous career.

From Argentina to the International Electronic Music Scene

Mati Troglia began his professional music journey in 2020, when he was just 17 years old.

Working from his hometown of Zárate, he developed his production skills while exploring Deep House, Deep Chill and other melodic electronic styles.

His early work placed particular emphasis on emotional arrangements, atmospheric textures and songwriting.

As his catalogue grew, he began collaborating with singers and producers from different countries, gradually establishing connections beyond Argentina.

These international collaborations became an important part of his artistic development, allowing him to experiment with different musical approaches and expand his production experience.

Throughout this period, he built a catalogue that introduced his music to audiences across major streaming platforms.

Winning Petit Biscuit’s International ‘Sunset Lover’ Remix Competition

One of the most significant achievements of Troglia’s career arrived in 2023.

The Argentine producer secured first place overall in the official remix competition for Sunset Lover, the internationally recognized track by French electronic artist Petit Biscuit.

Organized in collaboration with Écurie and SKIO Music, the competition invited producers from around the world to reinterpret the original recording.

According to promotional figures supplied by Troglia’s team, the contest attracted 595 remix submissions from 143 countries.

Troglia was selected as the overall winner, an important achievement for a young producer developing his career independently.

The result demonstrated his ability to reinterpret an established electronic music production while maintaining his own creative identity.

It also provided an opportunity to connect his work with an international audience and a recognized name in melodic electronic music.

For Troglia, the competition became one of the defining moments of his early career.

More Than One Million Streams and Growing International Recognition

Following his remix competition success, the artist continued expanding his recorded catalogue and international reach.

According to figures provided in his official artist announcement, his project generated more than 1.1 million Spotify streams during 2024.

His music also reportedly received support from internationally recognized artists including Don Diablo, INNA, Petit Biscuit and Cuebrick.

During this period, his releases gained exposure through music streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and Amazon Music.

The following year introduced further milestones.

In March 2025, Troglia signed a publishing agreement with Enhanced Music Publishing, marking an important development in his professional songwriting career.

In June, he released Echo, a collaboration with Rae through Chapter Eight.

The track was associated with the melodic house category and reportedly reached No. 53 in Beatport’s Hype Picks selection.

He followed with All U Want in July, continuing his work within melodic electronic music.

That same month, his Spotify audience reportedly reached a peak of more than 206,000 monthly listeners.

His team also reports that one of his recordings surpassed 1.6 million Spotify streams, while other releases appeared on digital download charts in several international markets.

These achievements helped establish the foundations for the artistic transition now taking place.

International Collaborations and a Growing Production Catalogue

Collaboration has remained central to Troglia’s development.

Throughout his career, he has worked with artists from different musical backgrounds, combining electronic production with vocal performances and songwriting.

Among his releases is Harder To Breathe, a collaboration featuring Jonah Sky and Rae.

His catalogue also includes music distributed through established electronic music platforms and independent record labels.

These projects allowed him to move between different genres while developing his technical understanding of music production.

Rather than following one fixed style, his early career became a period of experimentation.

That experience now forms an important part of the foundation behind METDEB.

METDEB: A New Focus on Minimal Deep Tech and Tech House

In 2026, Troglia decided that his next musical direction required a new identity.

The result is METDEB, a project focused on underground club music and the rhythmic foundations of contemporary house.

Where his earlier productions often explored melodic atmospheres and emotional electronic sounds, the new project places greater emphasis on basslines, percussion, groove and dancefloor energy.

Minimal Deep Tech now occupies a central position in his musical direction, alongside influences from Tech House.

The shift reflects his ambition to develop a more cohesive relationship between his studio productions and DJ performances.

Under METDEB, the producer wants to establish a recognizable musical identity built around rhythm, texture and movement.

The project also reflects a growing interest in the creative possibilities of minimal arrangements.

Rather than relying on complex melodic structures, his new approach focuses on how carefully developed grooves and subtle production details can shape the atmosphere of a club track.

This direction places METDEB within a contemporary underground scene influenced by minimal house, deep tech and groove-focused electronic music.

Early Support for the New Project

Although METDEB represents a new chapter, the artistic transition has already begun.

According to the artist’s announcement, a production released under the new alias received support from Argentine DJ Victoria Whynot.

The support marks one of the first reported milestones for the new identity.

For METDEB, the coming months will focus on strengthening this direction through further productions, collaborations and connections with independent electronic music labels.

His ambition is to continue developing a sound that reflects his current artistic interests while drawing on the experience accumulated throughout his earlier career.

A New Identity Without Leaving the Past Behind

For many electronic music producers, changing an artist name can represent a complete restart.

METDEB, however, is approaching the transition differently.

The project is intended as a continuation of Mati Troglia’s career rather than a rejection of his previous work.

His existing discography, international collaborations, production experience and audience remain part of the story.

What changes is the musical direction.

The move also reflects a broader reality within electronic music: artists frequently evolve as their influences, creative interests and professional ambitions develop.

For METDEB, six years of exploring different electronic genres have helped define the direction he now wants to pursue.

The new identity provides a clearer platform for that evolution.

What’s Next for METDEB?

With his new artist identity established, METDEB is preparing to develop his presence within the international Minimal Deep Tech and Tech House community.

Future activities are expected to focus on club-oriented releases, DJ performances and collaborations with artists and record labels working within underground electronic music.

Specific upcoming release dates and event announcements have not yet been detailed.

His existing career provides a foundation for the project, from early songwriting and melodic productions to international streaming milestones and recognition through the Petit Biscuit remix competition.

Now, the Argentine producer is turning that experience toward a more defined underground sound.

From Mati Troglia to METDEB, the name may have changed, but the musical journey continues — this time with the dancefloor at its center.
