Matthew Holden has officially arrived on the scene with his debut single “The Truth,” and what a statement it is. A melodic techno cut that brims with both emotion and fire, this track feels like it was born for the dancefloor while carrying the weight of a producer who’s lived and breathed electronic music his entire life.
From the very first beat, “The Truth” locks you in with its high-energy pulse, layering textures that nod to Holden’s wide-ranging influences—trance, techno, drum & bass, and house all leave their fingerprints here. It’s a track that doesn’t just demand movement; it sparks feeling, balancing rave-ready power with an emotional core that lingers long after the last drop.
What makes this debut even more impressive is the story behind it. Holden poured a full year into crafting “The Truth,” drawing on decades of club culture experience that began when he was DJing on Technics at just 15 years old. His ability to “hear” the crowd while producing comes from years of watching dancefloors light up, whether as a DJ or even behind the lighting desk for legendary UK venues and festivals like Creamfields, Gatecrasher, and GodsKitchen. This single feels like the culmination of all those moments—a love letter to rave culture wrapped in modern polish.
With guidance from names like Jason Herd and Jon Kong, and the final finesse of Joel Woolf’s mixing and mastering, he’s delivered a track that proves he’s more than ready to step into the spotlight.
