Matchnight

Coming: the soundtrack

Three bands. One soundtrack.

Matchnight is getting music of its own. Three bands, each with an album, will play on the game's menu screens while you run your club. Meet them here and hear a short clip from each.

The bands were invented for Matchnight, just like its clubs and players. Kevin, who makes the game, made their songs with Suno, an AI music tool.

The bands

  • Album cover: four cartoon portraits in a two-by-two grid on blue, green, orange and red squares, under the band name and the title The 90th Minute.

    The Varsity Misfits

    Bruchem, Netherlands · Glam rock, synth punk

    Cap'n, Striker, The Wall and Banger crash seventies glam rock into a techno club, straight out of a Dutch village. The 90th Minute is about what football does to you: the nerves, the loyalty, the heartbreak and the joy.

    Album The 90th Minute

  • Album cover: a hooded DJ in glowing glasses at a huge mixing desk on a stadium stage, with fire and smoke behind the floodlights, under the name AZRA and the title Euphoria in the Overtime.

    DJ Azra

    Belgium, Moroccan roots · Hard techno, Arabic cyberpunk

    A hooded DJ from Belgium with Moroccan roots, mixing Arabic melodies into pounding warehouse techno. Euphoria in the Overtime is the sound of a stadium losing its mind, all the way to the final drop.

    Album Euphoria in the Overtime

  • Album cover: a young woman with a blonde bob, in a retro tracksuit, lounging on a leather sofa with a football and a small keyboard in an empty stadium lounge, under the words ELYSÉE and Hors-jeu amoureux.

    ELYSÉE

    France · French synth-pop, lo-fi

    A French pop star with a bored look and a vintage football track jacket, with guest rapper MALIK at her side. Hors-jeu amoureux ("offside in love") is about the lonely side of fame, from late-night piano to a techno blast.

    Album Hors-jeu amoureux

    Untick any song you'd rather not hear, skip to the next one, or turn the music down in Settings.

  • Now playing

    As each song starts, a small card shows the band and the title.
