Mathieu Moës

Biography

Mathieu Moës is a music producer and live act from Belgium fusing electronic music with orchestral elements. As a toddler, he hijacked his parents’ saucepans to build a homemade drumkit and played along U2’s “Best of 1980-1990”. His thirst for music has never stopped since. Mathieu studied music theory and drumming for over ten years in Belgium while juggling rock and jazz band rehearsals, live shows and high school. Before moving to California, at 18, he discovered the world of electronic music and decided to learn how to produce it, a good alternative to keep on making music while traveling light. In parallel, he discovered a vivid interest for cinema, specifically the Nolan-Zimmer collaborations that became an important inspiration. Mathieu started to experiment mixing electronic music with strings, brass and big percussions, which has remained his signature sound until now. While studying in the Netherlands, Singapore and England between 2011 and 2016, he released an album under the artist name Pacific Highway as well as a few music videos that he directed, filmed and edited himself. Now based in Luxembourg and with a more mature sound and professional approach, Mathieu released a couple of EPs under his own name in 2020 and 2022, opened for Worakls at Rockhal in late 2022 and released a live album from his May 2023 performance at Melusina.
