Matchy's 'Not Too Late' lands on Ritter Butzke Records, filed as melodic house and techno and released on 15 August, as Ibiza moves through the closing weeks of its season. Miss Monique placed it ninth of 14 on her Rain chart, posted 18 September, a list where Tigerblind's 'It's About Time' on Simulate Recordings held fourth.

Miss Monique was on the bill the same day at Hï Ibiza, for Hugel presents Make The Girls Dance, a night that also carried Hugel, Roger Sanchez, Juany Bravo and Paradoks.

The chords carry 'Not Too Late', with the drums leaving a lot of room underneath rather than crowding the arrangement. It runs loud, with little give under its peaks, and the top stays dark, giving the record a weighty, closed-in pull that suits a late set.

Ritter Butzke Records was last covered on 28 October, with Markus Klee and BEEAST's 'Hymnesia', and 'Not Too Late' keeps the label's melodic run going as the Ibiza season nears its end.

The label said

Ritter Butzke Records proudly presents Not Too Late - the latest two-track EP by acclaimed

producer Matchy. Known for his signature blend of melodic depth and rhythmic drive, Matchy delivers a refined package that bridges emotional storytelling with club-focused energy.

The title track Not Too Late is a cinematic journey of warm pads, expressive synths, and a steady, hypnotic groove. Built for both intimate moments and euphoric highs, the track captures Matchy's ability to balance introspection with momentum.

Inflections takes a more subtle and nuanced approach, layering crisp percussion with atmospheric textures and gentle harmonic progressions. The result is a track that feels both grounded and expansive - perfect for deeper moments on the dancefloor.

With a discography that spans top-tier labels like Stil vor Talent, Katermukke, and Beyond Now, and support from artists such as Solomun, Adriatique, Miss Monique, and Yotto, Matchy continues to define the sound of modern Melodic and Progressive House.
