Matador is back on his RUKUS label, this time with Kyozo for one new collaboration and one solo track.
Irishman Matador is an underground mainstay who has constantly innovated in the studio and always serves up scintillating soundtracks in the club. From early minimal techno to his more recent explorations of rich melodies, prog synths and cinematic grooves, he always leads from the front. Here he works with London based Kyozo, who has recently made waves on Drumcode collaborating with Adam Beyer.
'Easy Up' is an atmospheric and deep roller with soft but firmly rooted kicks and wispy synths. There's a sense of suspense as it unfolds, with vulnerable male vocals adding to the fragile motions while the bassline adds real weight. It's a great trip that makes a lasting impact. 'Another Level' is more edgy and direct. Searching, sonar-like blips pulse over the progressive drums while more stark chords light things up with a futuristic twist.
These are two well crafted tracks that blend immersive sound designs with real club-ready energy.
