Norwegian cross-genre record producer and DJ Matoma, known for global hits like “All Night” with The Vamps, “I Don’t Dance” with Enrique Iglesias, and his RIAA Platinum-certified breakout hit, Matoma & The Notorious B.I.G’s “Old Thing Back (feat.

“We wrote ‘Sodium Sky’ to capture the feeling of pure escapism, being somewhere on the dance floor or in the depths of nature losing yourself to an environment of good energy.” – Matoma
Following Matoma’s most recent release “Bittersweet,” “Sodium Sky” sets a new tone for his music. With its upbeat sound and gentle vocals, it will make the crowd melt. This track is the gateway to another universe where fans can bask in the positive energy. It’s that time of year when people need the reminder to live in the moment and dance the night away, and “Sodium Sky” is a hypnotic track that will draw the audience into its euphoria. “Sodium Sky” is only a taste of Matoma’s new sound and sets the stage for his upcoming album ‘Love For The Beat.’
Matoma is well-known for expressing positivity through his music and through his charitable donations. Last April, he showcased three billboards on the i-10 highway to Coachella; originally intended for promoting his new music, but with the tragic war continuing in Ukraine, he decided to put them towards raising funds and awareness for Ukraine humanitarian aid organization Music Saves UA.A video of the billboards via a drone flyover can be found HERE. Matoma’s billboards received widespread global news coverage from mainstream outlets including NME, The FADER, The Independent, MSN, Yahoo News, and Metro UK.
