Matthew Charles - Released Tracks

Recondite
Caldera
HFT035

Recondite marks his return to Hotflush with the epic, potentially summer-defining 'Caldera' and a sequel to his 2012 hit 'DRGN'. The Bavarian artist has undergone a dazzling rise since that time, and one which is reflected in the increasing opulence of his music.

'Caldera', with its dramatic arpeggios and crescendos, is unabashed big-field decadence. Bearing all the hallmarks on which he's made his name - space, subtlety, build, attention to timbre - over the course of 9 minutes it raises the temperature to white heat. 'DRGN 2' picks up exactly where its 2012 namesake left off; that is, with an arching melody played out over droning tones of insidious intent. Dark, imposing and elegant - this is Recondite at his most wicked.

Available on Beatport and on 12" from September 1st 2014

Recondite - Caldera EP (HFT035 Preview)

Foremost international techno outlet Drumcode is delighted to announce the release of its next full-length album, ‘Satellite’, by enduring Italian techno talent Sam Paganini.

Though he has been active since the mid nineties, recent years have been hugely successful for Sam, with searing techno EPs coming on revered labels such as Riche Hawtin’s Plus8, Sven Vath’s Cocoon and of course, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode. In his time he has been responsible for underground hits like ‘Zoe’, ‘Polyester’ and ‘Fire In My Arms’, all of which demonstrate his dynamic understanding of sexy, dark and hypnotic techno grooves and at the same time have earned him plenty of great Beatport chart positions as well as respect from the best in the game.

Incredibly, ‘Satellite’ is Sam’s first full-length album. Informed by his DJ gigs at legendary places like Berghain in Berlin and Cielo in New York, the album starts with a dystopian bit of sonic scene setting, as if a space ship is charging up ready to take off.

From there it’s a case of getting straight down to business. ‘Another Chance’ is a spacey bit of cantering techno and ‘White’ is rooted in devastating kick drums and is riddled with serrated synth lines that build lots of great techno pressure. ‘Down’ is an undulating bit of funky techno complete with choice vocal flourishes and tracks like ‘Lotus’ are prime offerings from the deeper end of the scale.

No two tracks sound the same on Satellite: Sam is always teasing out a new bit of texture, nailing a slightly different vibe or exploring different amounts of light and dark throughout the course of this most excellent album. This is evidenced by diverse cuts like ‘Dusty’, ‘Toxic’ and ‘Rave’.

Despite ‘Satellite’ being Sam’s debut album, it showcases his seductive style in all its glory across 12 fantastic tracks that will leave you begging for more.

All Night Long Official Music Video: http://j.mp/1x2uxMB

He’s ridden us raw with his naked piano, made our booties clap so hard we’ve needed medical care, shown us his titsss and he’s even taken us to the mo… Wherever that is. Now Belgian wunderkind Kill Frenzy is about to flip the biggest switch of his career and whisk us away on his most exciting, most extensive dirtybird adventure yet: His long-awaited debut album Taylr Swft.

Famed for his ability to carve carnal drama from one smouldering 808 sermon and a sleazy panty-dropping vocal loop, here we find Sebastian Vanschoonbeek developing his uncompromising, ghetto-bound repertoire with serious maturity, depth and class. Building on his well-established bass-laced bedrock, each of these cuts flex with dynamics that will find favour with all house and techno connoisseurs and do so with complete consistency as a whole body of work… hell, they work so well dirtybird bossman VonStroke is almost reluctant to release them.

"I'm almost sad to start sharing the new Kill Frenzy album with everyone else because it has been my secret weapon all summer.  At one point I was playing seven tracks from the album in the same set, it was almost embarrassing. I'm very fickle about choosing what I play and this album is amazing."

Proof of Kill Frenzy’s next-levelism is evident in every single direction; the cavernous thundering march of "All Night Long”, the bouncy techno fluctuations of “Inflation”, the sultry deep house dish “XXX”, the sheer tech tenacity and roof-burning electro-fication of “Lava”, the delicate jazz keys and purring sub bass of “So Fine”… The list goes on.

Press play, then press it again for good measure: debut albums often dangerously dice with displays of inconsistent dexterity, but with Taylr Swft Kill Frenzy has carefully created a collection that completely makes sense of his past work while staring guilefully into an exciting future. A bona fide dirtybird document that confirms Kill Frenzy’s position as one of electronic music’s boldest creators, Taylr Swft is everything you could possibly want from a modern day album: dancefloor gold, depth, range and an unswerving narrative. Get to know.

Matthew Charles, DJ, Promoter and now Producer. Matthew's relationship with electronic music is over 2 decades old but his professional DJ career really took off when in 2004 just after moving to Dubai from Scotland he won a global search fro DJ talent, Heineken Found @ Thirst. Paul Oakenfold and Danielle Davoli selected Matthew as the winner for the GCC which opened many doors for him in the region. This led to him holding down residencies at not one but two DJ Mag Top 100 clubs, 360 and Trilogy which gave him the opportunity to display his talents alongside many of his heroes such as Sasha, Jon Digweed, Steve Lawler, Nic Fanciulli, Yousef, Booka Shade, Dubfire, Ame, Dixon, Henrik Schwarz, Claude VonStroke, Dan Ghenacia and the list goes on.

In 2006 during a chance conversation with Pete Gooding, then Cafe Mambo resident, at 360 in Dubai Matthew learned of an opening on the Mambo roster. Deciding immediately to go after the exclusive residency he contacted friend and long time Ibiza connection, Charlie Chester, who made the introduction to Mambo owner Javier Anadon. After a short meeting in San Antonio's Villa Mercedes Matthew was offered the coveted residency where he has spent 3 full summers soundtracking the sunset and setting it up for industry legends such as Pete Tong, Deep Dish, Solomun, Guy Gerber, Roger Sanchez and many more. 

Back at home base in Dubai Matthew has dedicated his time to two things, developing the underground scene in Dubai and developing his production skills. In 2010 Matthew created a Facebook group entitled Dubai Underground Music Movement or DUMM for short. It was initially a place for like minded clubbers to discuss the scene in Dubai and beyond. 4 years later it has evolved into a movement with events, mixes, soon to be a record label and it's crown jewel the infamous boat party Never Get Out The Boat! Going now for 3 years Never Get Out The Boat has reached cult status. With around 12 parties a year each voyage is either at capacity or very close to it. The party attracts a rare breed of clubber in Dubai, somebody who is there for the music and not to be seen which makes for a pretty wild party out at sea.

The last 2 years Matthew has turned his attention to his productions. Like his DJ sets his tracks cover all bases from Deep House to Tech House to Techno but never deviating for from his love of the groove. Thanks to his dedication in the studio at the tail end of 2014 Matthew had his debut and sophomore releases on Dubai's very own own Infusion Records. The title track of his debut EP Out The Door quickly become Infusions best seller of the year. With 5 releases already lined up for 2015 Matthew is looking at a very big year ahead.
