Back on his HIFI/LOFI home base, Franz Matthews continues his habit of turning up in unexpected sonic spaces. Night Tales finds him delving into a more introspective, deep, and melancholic palette, while preserving the organic warmth and groove-driven energy that define his ever-evolving sound.

 The EP’s opening tale, Again, takes us on a melancholic night ride through the ever-repeating ups and downs of life, where darkness and light follow one another in an endless cycle - soundtracked by an orchestra of lush synths, soft rhodes melodies, dreamy guitars, and Franz’s delicately crafted vocals.

Howling at the Moon dives deeper into the night, driven by hypnotic percussion, dark synth stabs, and haunting vocals that summon a sense of collective trance. The track builds toward a wordless vocal chant that feels both human and otherworldly, unfolding into a swaying, almost tango-esque groove where rhythms subtly intertwine.  Closing the EP, You & I stands apart — restored from a nine-year-old lost writing session, this nostalgic yet hopeful electronic pop track felt right at home within the EP, where its warm house textures and Lights Out’s delicate, heartfelt vocals wrap up these Night Tales with a timeless sense of longing and connection.

Franz Matthews - Again (Edit) [HIFI LOFI Records]

Based in Berlin and created by DJ & Producer @franz-matthews, HIFI/LOFI is a label & publishing boutique focusing on developing artists close to the worlds of alternative electronic music, indie dance, cosmic & post-disco, spiced up with touches of spiritual psychedelia.

The 'sound' of HIFI/LOFI can be defined by only one thing : Every release coming through the label has been made according to the the 4th Toltec agreement : always do your best. In other words, HIFI/LOFI is all about eclecticism, openness, fun, and acting as an unifying light of every aspect of life & music. Because, we're sure of just one thing: Ain’t no HI’s without the LO’S, everything is connected.
