Mattie Safer is a musical icon who gave it up to follow a new sound and vision. The former singer, songwriter, and bass player for <a href="spotify:artist:166Dz1GX3xonSQ3Z6CQW26" data-name="The Rapture">The Rapture</a> left the band at the height of their powers in 2009 to write and record music under his own name. Inspired by a working relationship with mega-producer <a href="spotify:user:chrisryan77:playlist:7GvCsFspPuOKu3AKecJCnt" data-name="Paul Epworth">Paul Epworth</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:4dpARuHxo51G3z768sgnrY" data-name="Adele">Adele</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1moxjboGR7GNWYIMWsRjgG" data-name="Florence + The Machine">Florence + The Machine</a>), Safer decided to "stop worrying about being cool" and pursued a sound that could properly display his powerful-yet-smooth vocal prowess and unique, soulful songwriting sensibility.
In 2016 Safer released his debut EP "<a href="spotify:album:1d52BjXB48hncbnijcc4Jh" data-name="All We Are">All We Are</a>" on his own Dream City Sounds label, impressing old fans and winning new fans alike and receiving blog support from Exclaim!, All Access Music, Self-Titled Magazine, You Know I Got Soul, Soultracks and Atwood Magazine.
In Spring of 2017 Mattie featured on two singles--"<a href="spotify:album:40Q6zVozKJL6ro2f5Ol2EL" data-name="Whatcha Wanna Do">Whatcha Wanna Do</a>" with Australian producer <a href="spotify:artist:6PT4ByFRuNiNOlCZCVrkYf" data-name="Beni">Beni</a> and "<a href="spotify:album:45keqcXKlhsXiIVWtrW0u1" data-name="Back To Summertime">Back To Summertime</a>" with Blende which was named with ‘Tune of the Month’ by Mixmag and featured in Spotify's their ‘Weekly Buzz’ and ‘Friday Cratediggers’ playlists.
Over the summer, Mattie followed up with a new single '<a href="spotify:album:2gEwk3RagsWo5GFWnQtAkS" data-name="Floating">Floating</a>', a brilliant slice of neo-disco sunshiny pop, made with Filip Nikolic (<a href="spotify:artist:5szdY7KaSi7epwyffrbV8c" data-name="Poolside">Poolside</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7KDd0UFR6IpSRnZmvu1CM5" data-name="Turbotito">Turbotito</a>). The two manage to bring a classic Paradise Garage feel to a modern electronic soundscape. 'Floating' is both timeless and futuristic in its sound and message.
