Her Side of the Stories

Anouk Matton (DJ MTTN) | On Hidden OCD, Panic Attacks & Dimitri Vegas


Listen Later

You can be the most visible woman in the room and still be the one carrying something nobody can see. Anouk Matton — known to millions as DJ MATTN — is a Top 50 global DJ, one half of dance music's most recognised couple, and one of the most successful women in her industry on the planet. She has also lived with OCD and severe anxiety for twenty years.

In this episode of Her Side of the Stories, she sits with Asal Zara and tells the truth about the day at thirteen that broke something open, the rituals no one sees, the panic attack at thirty thousand feet — and how she has slowly built peace in a mind that doesn't always let her have it.

The day at thirteen that broke something open in her. The OCD she still lives with at thirty-three. The panic attack at thirty thousand feet that nearly ended her career. The online hate that sticks no matter how many years pass. And the quiet way her husband and fellow DJ Dimitri Vegas became her anchor when her own mind wouldn't let her rest.This isn't a story about success. It's a story about what success doesn't fix.

Behind the lights is a woman who has carried far more than the world has ever seen.


Anouk speaks about the day her father came home a different man. About the rituals no one sees. About being a woman in one of the most male-dominated industries on earth. About the comments that go to bed with you. About becoming a mother to her son London — and what she will never let him see. About finding peace, slowly, in a mind that doesn't always let her have it.

This is one of the most honest conversations we've had on Her Side.If you've ever carried something quietly for years, struggled with anxiety or OCD, lived with a mind that won't switch off, or wondered if the woman the world sees is the woman you actually are — this is for you.


Her Side of the Stories is a cinematic, emotionally honest conversation series exploring the inner lives of women what they've survived, what they've become, and what they've never said out loud until now. Hosted by Asal Zara. Filmed in Ibiza, Spain.


Her Voice. Her Truth. Her Side.
