Hailing from Denver, Colorado, often referred to as the Dubstep Capital of the United States, the brightly colored icon known as Green Matter has been making significant waves in the experimental bass community. Her ethereal song production, infused with elements from the golden era of Dubstep, offers a nostalgic yet modern feel that is uniquely hers. After catching her captivating set at this year’s ILLfest, I WANT EDM just had to know more about this esteemed producer and the world of Green Matter.
People argue that Denver is the dubstep capital of the United States. As a Denver
native, do you agree with this statement?
I would! Growing up in Denver, it’s been amazing to witness the rise of such a
special bass music scene. The number of shows happening every day of the week
really proves that. Denver people always show up for dubstep, and they go hard,
like, every night. A few cities have been contending for that top spot, but Denver’s
scene is so strong, I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon.
Immersed in the scene from a young age through family and friends, artist Green Matter lives and breathes bass music. As one of the youngest in her sibling group, her older brother and sister helped her dive deep into the EDM rabbit hole. Now, blazing her own trail in the music scene, she’s the one exploring and showcasing new music and artists to those very siblings just years later. Having her older sister by her side as her official photographer and videographer is a true guardian angel in this fast-paced, chaotic industry.
So, your sister is a photographer or videographer in EDM culture. Explain a little bit
about the dynamic there?
My sister and I share a special bond, and navigating this industry together has
helped both of us grow in ways we probably wouldn’t have alone. I love being able
to work with someone I am so close to. I can tell her anything; she genuinely only
wants the best for me. I don’t feel anxious telling her exactly what I want in my
media, and we are really in sync when it comes to my vision.
Finding inspiration through the connection of others and the beauty of nature, her raw talent has blossomed over the years into a well-polished Green Organism. Every cell is living, breathing electronic music and the music culture of Denver. Originating from downloading a simple music software in high school, to headlining performances at prestigious venues across the US, as well as her very own curated event, Green Matter is only growing exponentially from here.
So you’ve been doing this since around 2019, correct? How has Green Matter
evolved over the years? And where is she headed as an artist today?
Yes, I launched the Green Matter project back in 2019, which feels like a lifetime
ago with how much has evolved since then. The sound, the production, the merch,
the art….it’s all leveled up, and the energy behind it is stronger than ever. Lately,
I’ve been focused on making more music, building intentional branding, deepening
fan connection, and finding fresh ways to grow the project. My team and I are in a
place where every detail matters, and we’re putting real intention into not just the
music, but the full experience.
Honing her craft with meticulous attention to detail, 2025 is all about growth and purpose for Green Matter. Set to support Jaenga on his upcoming Dream Machine Tour at various dates across the country, there are plenty of new and exciting things going on for this young artist. Her latest EP, “Nature of Sound,” is scheduled to drop in just over a month, along with a major headlining show in Chicago this coming September.
Her unwavering dedication to sharing her vision in such a male-dominated industry is truly inspiring. She remains determined and hopeful to make her voice heard all around the world. In the male-dominated world of Dubstep, being a Latina woman presents its own challenges within the Dubstep/Experimental Bass scene. Filled with grit and unwavering tenacity, Green Matter has faced these challenges with ease, leveling up at every turn.
Being a Latina in Bass music ( experimental bass more specifically), do you feel
Underrepresented within this genre or sub-genre?
Being a Latina woman means we are often underrepresented in many aspects of
life. The music industry is already difficult to navigate, and you throw in a sub-genre
that has always been made up mostly of men, and it becomes even more of a shot
in the dark. I have always loved a challenge, so to me it’s like leveling up in a video
game on hard mode.
Catapulting into 2025, Green Matter has already supported Ravenscoon on his Glass Orchid tour, brought her Nature of Sound show to multiple cities, performed at Texas’s ILLfest, worked on a new EP, joined another tour, and began curating another headlining event — all by mid-year! This hardworking woman, known as Green Matter, shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. With her infectious smile, brightly colored green attire, and gracious attitude toward fans, it’s no surprise she’s turning heads.
