Matt Guy – Every Little Time [Armada]

UK-hailing Matt Guy has spent the past two years honing a ‘90s-nostalgia-infused sound, attracting the attention of dance music tastemakers at home and beyond. With ‘Every Little Time’, his latest output on Armada Music, the DJ and producer solidifies his position as a front-runner in the global house scene.

Prompted by a deep-dive into ‘90s samples, Matt Guy’s fourth release on Armada Music offers the signature nostalgia the world of dance music has come to expect from the Nottingham-born DJ and producer. From the trademark square wave synth that outlines his artistic output to the luring build and vocal sampled from Poppers Presents Aura’s trance-leaning 1998 track of the same title, ‘Every Little Time’ has the euphoric profile to drive the contemporary house crowd into clubbing season with a profound “let’s get ravey!”

“In 2019, after seeing Marco Carola and Carl Cox in Ibiza doing a back-to-back set, I started digging through lots of ‘90s samples,” Matt Guy explained. “After spending hours and hours on YouTube, I stumbled upon ‘Every Little Time’. The vocal was an instant earworm, so I got in touch with Poppers Presents Aura, who were – luckily – excited by the idea of me cooking up some new ideas for the vocal and reworking the track. I love how old-school and ravey this track sounds, and I can’t wait for the world to have it.”
