Berlin-based production duo Mat.Joe, aka Matze and Johannes, make their debut on DFTD with their club-ready ‘Dayum EP’. The pair continue to establish their sound fusing together house beats with elements of soul and hip-hop. Staying true to their distinctive mix-and-match production style in this release, the title track splices moments of disco euphoria with a seriously thumping bassline. ‘Work This’ features looped urban vocals alongside an irresistibly body jerking beat, completing this sensational EP that will make you say ‘Dayum’.

Spicy. Zesty. Tasty. Is Flavor Dave a chef? How does he cook up these michelin-star grooves? Does he marinate his basslines in dance floor sweat? 

Who cares - all this food talk is making me wanna dance.
