Ecstatic is proud to welcome new signing Mattheis to the label. Having already gained many fans for his work on the Clone affiliated Nous'Klaer label, Mattheis now graduates to his first full length, entitled 'Luminous Frames’. 

Expanding on the promise of his earlier work, his hallucinogenic arpeggio explorations call to mind the synth driven kosmiche sounds of late 70s and early 80s Germany, this Klaus Schulze, Cluster, Harald Grosskopf and Manuel Gottsching as well as contemporaries James Holden and Steve Moore. ‘Luminous Frames’  takes the listener on an ethereal drift through five masterfully constructed soundscapes of billowing synth drones and enveloping sequences. 

- White cassette with 12-panel J-card newsprint paper. Limited to 50 copies. SOLD OUT!! 

- Second and final re-press on black cassette 40 copies.

Frequencies manifest everything in the universe

Share the good vibrations

I am all about listening and just listening, although I used to record stuff and play around too. 
I tend to vary a lot..I can listen to classical music for days and then jump onto some pretty hardcore dancey stuff with ease.
My latest favs are Tale of Us, Mario Basanov aka Ten Walls, Avatism and Mind Against.
Rival Consoles is also coming out with some superb stuff recently! SOUL is an amazing tune.
Ditto for Chancha Via Circuito.
Then I discovered Jonwayne from La Habra in the States. I saw him live at Birthdays in East London and loved it throughout. He's got some pretty interesting lyrics.
I've got many more of course but I wouldn't know where to start from.

Enjoy

2015 Update
A few new names and tracks off my mind that I've used and abused and listened more than others recently.

Beesmunt Soundsystem - Body Shape
Simple beat but nasty and powerful. Good stuff!

Tropics - Blame
London style, soft voices, piano and distant vibes

&ME - Birdland (Keinemusik / KM025)
Great mix 

Life on Planets - Fork In The Path (David Marston & Dan Izco Remix)  
Honestly, WHAT A TRACK!

Slumberjack - Felon
Not a new one but it still makes me move a lot!

Kuma - Falling For Somebody New
That's a song by Artic Monkeys as you know...but I didn't (yes I didn't...) Anyway...great vibes!
