With a career spanning over a decade, French producer and DJ David Ciekanski, better known as Matt Fax, has firmly established himself as a distinguished name in the realms of progressive trance and house. Renowned for his emotive melodies, pristine production, and a knack for crafting expansive soundscapes, Matt Fax has garnered strong support from iconic scene heavyweights, including Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Tiësto, Ferry Corsten, and Tritonal.
Since making his debut on the legendary Anjunabeats label in 2013 with a remix of Jaytech’s Labour Of Love featuring Nathan Grainger, Matt Fax’s journey with the label has been marked by notable milestones. His 2016 remix of Boom Jinx & Aruna’s Light As A Feather and his series of double A-side releases—Thirds / Shelter (2021), Halcyon / Mirage (2022), and Collide / The Gate (2022)—all contributed to his growing reputation as a master of melodic, uplifting progressive trance.
Now, Matt Fax returns to Anjunabeats with his latest double A-side release One Day / Versa, delivering another polished set of progressive trance gems. Clocking in at 125 BPM, both tracks exemplify the producer’s signature style: lush atmospheric layers, driving yet smooth rhythms, and poignant melodies that evolve gracefully from start to finish.
One Day opens the EP with shimmering synths that build gently, layering warm pads and subtle percussive elements to create an emotive yet dancefloor-ready journey. The track’s progression maintains an organic flow, striking a perfect balance between energy and serenity.
Versa complements its counterpart with a slightly deeper vibe, weaving hypnotic basslines and melodic motifs that feel both introspective and uplifting. The track’s dynamic structure keeps listeners engaged, making it a standout for peak-time sets or focused listening sessions alike.
Both cuts demonstrate Matt Fax’s unwavering attention to detail and his ability to blend progressive trance’s classic euphoric elements with modern production finesse. The release solidifies his position as a key artist on the Anjunabeats roster and an influential figure in today’s progressive trance scene.
