Premiere | Mathieu Koss – The Best Is Yet To Come
French producer Mathieu Koss has been carving a solid name for himself for a few years now. Having seen support early in his career from Sam Feldt, Robin Schulz, Lost Frequencies and Martin Garrix, it’s easy to see why his new single is tinged with some guilt-free summer spiced optimism. ‘The Best Is Yet To Come’ is Mathieu’s new effort is another great example of his persistent pop house blend.
Mathieu’s first release, Need Your Lovin, saw immediate global reach. Followed quickly by a deep house version of NJR’s classic I Need Your Love which gained massive DJ interest, later resulting in over 2 million streams. Mathieu is most known so far however for Big Jet Plane alongside fellow DJ, Alok. The soon to be infamous remake of Angus and Julia stones slur of a folk song was a huge world-wide success. Mathieu worked epic levels of euphoria into the track, that was equally met with exhilarating force of music genius.
Having always been a keen traveler, Mathieu is keen to use emotions conjured up by foreign voyages deep within his work. After being inspired by the uplifting attitude of some newly found Australian friends –Best Is Yet To Come was born.
This single was shaped specifically for Joan Alasta’s vocals, who might be recognised from her appearance in Big Jet Plane. Riding high in the mix, Joan plays her part proud. Always keen to draw from multiple influences, Joan refers frequently to the likes of Radiohead and more obscure and traditional Corsican songs. Joan’s constant search for diversity is magnified by Mathieu – both driving us forward with grace and the sheer force of positive thinking.

Building a Career Through Influential Early Co-Signs
Getting picked up by tastemakers like Sam Feldt, Robin Schulz, Lost Frequencies, and Martin Garrix early in his career gave Mathieu Koss exactly the kind of credibility boost independent producers relied on before their own name carried enough weight to guarantee attention. Those early co-signs, often coming in the form of a big-name DJ playing an unreleased track in a festival set or radio show, functioned as a crucial discovery mechanism during this period, helping relatively unknown producers like Koss build an audience well before “Big Jet Plane” turned him into a more established name in his own right.
Corsican and Folk Influences in Dance Music
Joan Alasta’s stated influences, spanning Radiohead alongside traditional Corsican songs, brought an unusually specific regional folk influence into a pop house record, reflecting a broader trend of producers looking beyond generic topline songwriting toward vocalists with a distinct musical identity of their own. That approach mirrored what had already worked so well on “Big Jet Plane,” itself a dance reimagining of an Angus & Julia Stone folk song, suggesting Koss had found a genuine creative lane in translating folk and singer-songwriter sensibilities into festival-ready pop house production.
