Tracks

Knee Deep

Celestial Body

Dublin based Matthew Day (FKA Taking Names) has supplied a brilliant premiere today titled ‘Inside Out’. This track is a wonderful showcase of chopped breaks, ethereal electro and low-slung dubstep infused into one. This track is truly sublime listening all the way through. What a treat.

Following Matthew’s debut EP release ‘Deep Blue’ as well as a release on Birmingham based label ‘Fly By Night Recordings’ under his belt. His latest endeavour ‘Inside Out’ looks to be a continuation of him carving out a unique sound that aims to blend electro, house, trance and bass music together.

This 4 track EP is made up of 3 of his own original productions titled ‘Inside Out’, ‘Knee Deep’ and ‘Celestial Body’ with the extremely talented, Belfast based Flyora on remix duties who provided their own take on ‘Celestial Body’ too.

‘Inside Out’, which has previously featured on BBC Radio kicks the EP off with an amalgamation of bass, field recordings and and sounds derived from the legendary Korg Prophecy synthesiser that make for a fantastic listening experience. The depth of this track is so rich that upon re-listening you can hear new elements throughout the production which is thoroughly enjoyable.

Four Four Premiere: Mathew Day - Inside Out

Need To Leave

Deep Blue

Tangerine

Today we premiere yet another brilliant track, today coming from young Dublin based DJ and produce, Mathew Day aka Taking Names.

Like most weeks we got sent a ton of new music and Mathew Day aka Taking Names was a name we were not familiar with, but certainly are now.

From his early days of playing piano and discovering the likes of Kraftwerk, The Sisters of Mercy and Depeche Mode through his father's record collection, his passion for electronic music began.

After a few back and forth emails, Matthew spoke passionately about how his taste in music evolved to encompass electronic sounds from across the spectrum of electro, house, techno and bass music. Inspired by the wealth of talent in Ireland and abroad, his influences include Desert Sound Colony, Pepe, 96 Back and Long Island Sound to name a few.

Last year saw Matthew's first release on the Birmingham label Fly By Night Recordings, an ethereal electro number to compliment a time where floating through space might be preferable. This year Matthew plans to expand his musical horizons in new directions with a back catalogue of unreleased tracks that grows week upon week as the lockdown continues,  today culminating in his self released EP called Deep Blue, which also features a remix from The Droid, who we are fans of.

Taking Names.
