Matt Sassari
Matthieu Piacentile, known as Matt Sassari, is a Marseille-based techno DJ and producer who ranks 1,167, with releases spanning labels from Kevin Saunderson's KMS Records and Dubfire's SCI+TEC to Carl Cox's imprint. Born March 8, 1992 in Marseille, he built his profile as both a studio artist and a DJ playing behind the decks, a dual focus that interviewers at Electronic Groove have highlighted as central to his approach. His EP Step To, discussed in an interview with CelebMix, paired his original production with a remix from Melody's Enemy, illustrating the collaborative and label-driven side of his career that supports his touring sets.
Coverage describes him as relatively fresh to wider recognition despite years of studio and club work, with his Marseille base remaining central to his identity as a French techno artist. His most recent single, Short Stop, released in August 2026, keeps his catalogue active alongside a continuing performance schedule that has included dates such as Vesper Beach Club. Sassari's German Wikipedia entry credits him specifically as a techno DJ and music producer, underscoring that his club performances run alongside, rather than behind, his studio output.
He continues to release through a mix of independent and established techno labels while maintaining an active gig calendar.
