Meet Matteo Coletta, aka Teo: a passionate performer who draws inspiration from his Italian heritage. From early beginnings as a drummer and percussionist, he has become a captivating artist who incorporates live percussion into his DJ sets, bringing a unique blend of DJing and live instruments to corporate and public events. He is now a highly sought-after DJ based in Queenstown, New Zealand.
Creating immersive sonic experiences at ‘WellSpace’ in Queenstown introduced his warmth and creativity to many, and he never looked back.
His talent has been showcased throughout New Zealand, with multiple performances at NZ Spirit (North & South Island), Wellfest, Burning Horse, Dimension, and Winter Pride festivals, as well as for promoters such as Electric Rush, NoTrace, and others, joining international artists on the line-up.
During the winter seasons, he has regularly participated in events promoted by NZ Ski and others, including performances at Coronet Peak where, in his biggest event, he performed live percussion while DJing in front of more than 4,000 people.
As a resident DJ in Queenstown, his curated taste adds value to the local nightlife. He can be seen at Bardeaux and at other venues such as Bunker, World Bar, Yonder, Sundeck, Local, Tommy’s, Bungalow, and 1876, while consistently performing at venues, weddings, corporate events, and lively celebrations. He is also represented by booking agencies DJ4You and Better Band.
His sound has also been featured regularly at Ayrburn, Sundays, and other events, further enriching the local music scene. Corporates such as the Hilton Group and Heritage have added him to their rosters, alongside collaborations with local saxophonists.
Teo earned the Pete Tong DJ Academy Diploma, and one of his goals is to perform at weddings, clubs, major festivals, and create unforgettable experiences with his audience; achieved by empathising with the crowd and playing what feels right in the moment. His talent is employed seamlessly, navigating between genres to create atmospheres that deeply resonate with listeners
While not performing, Teo lends his skill as a representative of Apple for the Queenstown area, where his precision as an Apple-certified technician and consultant is evident. He is among the most qualified and competent in the industry, working at the intersection of technology and art.
Matteo was awesome !! Right from the start he was a great communicator and left us feeling relaxed on the day. He was prompt and created great energy on the dancefloor. He read the room well and let our requests fly when the time was right, we absolutely loved having him. We would get married again just so we could get him to play again !!

Their DJ service was top notch, provided precise bespoke music options for our wedding. The dance floor was where it was at. Matteo provided nothing short of perfection. The music wasn’t too loud or too quiet. Had the best music along with our own music. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Friendly too ha.

We had the wonderful Matteo DJ for our event in Queenstown recently. He was very professional, friendly and was happy to take on all our requests. We had a couple of last-minute changes to our run sheet, and he was happy to work with us and make sure things went smoothly! On top of that he seemed to be a really genuine guy, definitely recommend Matteo for your QT events!

From the start just liaising over the phone was very easy to deal with. And then with us not knowing what type of music exactly we wanted for the wedding just gave him a very basic idea. And he was like don’t worry I got you sorted. And then he was right. The type of music was spot on! great vibe for dancing and singing. He was amazing himself. At some point all men at the wedding had our shirts of and I said take it off and without a thought he joined in and was DJing topless haha. So ye we highly recommend him. Great music and a great bloke!

These guys were awesome – really quick communication and got everything absolutely perfect for our wedding day.
We had Seán Tinker during the ceremony and cocktails followed by Mateo for reception and both were absolutely incredible. They created an amazing atmosphere, were easy to communicate with and helped us in any way they could. People raved about the music at our wedding, so a massive thanks to Seán, Mateo and Better Band for giving us so much on our big day
