Mathame launch NEO Records, their own label, with the single “Oh Baby”
The Italian duo say the label will sit alongside their events. DJ Mag reports that the project also includes NEOLOGY, a multimedia show with a short film and a manga.
Italian duo Mathame have launched NEO Records, a label of their own. The first single, “Oh Baby”, came out on Friday, Oct 23, DJ Mag reports. The pair announced NEO Records on Instagram:
> “For years, we’ve dreamed of giving our musical vision a home. Today, we’re launching NEO Records. A record label alongside the events you already know. A place for new talent to grow, for ideas to take shape, and for a community to come together through music.”
What NEO Records covers
According to DJ Mag, the label gives Mathame a home for their cinematic take on club music. The duo call that sound “emo tech”. Citing press material, DJ Mag adds that NEO will reach beyond releases. It will also cover live events and NEOLOGY, a multimedia project with an audiovisual show, a short film and a manga.
The label already has a resident community, DJ Mag says. It lists LYKE, SLVR, JAST and 19:26 as its members. So far, “Oh Baby” is the only release that DJ Mag names for NEO Records.
Their recent shows
The launch follows a run of shows that Mathame staged in their own formats. In February, the pair played an all-night-long set at Het Sieraad in Amsterdam, DJ Mag reports. After that came a show at KOKO in London. Before those dates, the duo played a series of small, phone-free shows in New York and Los Angeles in 2025. That is where Mathame first presented their “no-phone, all-night” format, according to DJ Mag.
NEO Records now pairs those events with a label. Other artists have started labels this month too. BEZ has also covered SYREETA’s new label SYREN and Riordan’s REMAPPED, which pairs a label with a party brand.
