“This special Art Basel edition mix is a reflection of my journey over the past eight years, an evolution shaped by music that moves me and the lessons learned along the way. It reflects where I am today, heading into our biggest event yet, Art With Me Miami 2025 at RC Cola at Mana Wynwood. I’m honored that my friends and family at Electronic Groove invited me to share this special Art With Me × Art Basel edition. It’s a moment to pause, look back with gratitude, and look forward to what’s next and excited for a future full of curiosity, playfulness, and adventure. I hope you enjoy it.” – Matt Caines
Matt Caines is a DJ, producer, and creative voice who shapes moments through sound, art, and presence. Born in New York and now based in Miami, he guides listeners through deep melodic sets that invite connection, reflection, and release.
His background in building festivals and creative settings across the world gives his work a steady sense of purpose. As co-founder and creative director of Art With Me, and founder of Desiderata Records, Caines creates spaces where music feels like a path toward meaning. Art With Me returns to Miami during Art Basel week, and his appearance there marks another chapter in a story he has shaped with care.
For the occasion, and ahead of Art Basel week with Art With Me, he joins us as the latest guest on the EG Podcast with a special mix created for this moment.
The spirit of Desiderata moves through his sets. Move calmly through the noise and haste. Seek what reaches you. Notice the beauty. Each performance becomes a quiet exchange between memory and desire, between steady percussion and open feeling.
Caines blends warm textures, hypnotic drums, and soulful vocals into slow burning progressions with presence and depth. Whether at sunrise in Tulum, a close room in Miami, or a far away stage, his sound feels raw and alive.
Outside the booth, Desiderata Records serves as his creative platform and reflects his belief that music comforts, inspires, and brings people together.
This is more than sound. It is an invitation to feel, to look inward, and to follow Caines toward whatever comes next.
