A remix of DJ Jireh Feat. Nalini Tranquim entitled "We Are Free." Lovin it!

We Are Free (Matthew J. Bentley Remix) [PREVIEW]

This is the second preview track from "Exit Chrysalis." I call this "Let Me See Your Light." It is a mixture between the Dutch sound of Anthemic Trance with some chanting, which Johanna nailed. It gives off the feel of humbleness mixed with repentant transformation.

This is "Escape." I've been holding onto this one for a /very/ long time. It is finally time. The Acoustic Guitar in the breakdown was recorded and played by yours truly. I like to think of this track as the part of the CD/Journey where beauty turns into darkness, as the tune is gorgeous, but it is also very eerie at the same time.

Enjoy :)

This is my first attempt at Tropical House! Enjoy!
This song is very nostalgic to me. It goes back to my days when I would hang out with Christian and Felicia Beltran a lot. Their mom showed me this musical group called "Burlap to Cashmere." Ever since, this song has captivated me, even made me cry at times. I have always wanted to remix it, but no genre seemed right… Until I heard of tropical house. Here you go!

Another preview from "Exit Chrysalis." This track fully encompasses how I feel in my life right now. If you can't feel this melody and chord progression, then I'm sorry. I am free as a bird and I am LOVING every minute. I am fully bloomed. This is how I close out Exit Chrysalis, I thought it was only fitting... Enjoy!

Just in time for Christmas! My Tropical House Remix of Emmanuel G-d With Us by Amy Grant. Funky Basslines ftw :)
Oh and you can download this and my other tropical house song if you'd like ;)

Since the album artwork was completed today, I thought it only appropriate to debut the title track of "Exit Chrysalis." I wrote this track in an abandoned train car behind the abandoned silos in Dinkytown (behind TCF Stadium). The atmosphere there was incredible, and I plan on returning to go write some more there.

Listen, and feel the emergence :)

So Jeroen and I have noticed that EVERYONE is just on their smartphones! That's it. We all have been guilty of being on them too much. So this song is just a friendly reminder to create and foster real relationships in life, to pay attention to those around us, and to connect and love in a real, genuine way!

Lyrics:
"We've got to be connected by real love, not a wall or a page. We must refuse to live by the rules of this digital age. We must stop sharing these lonely likes, and instead, send out real love. We must stop sharing these trashy tweets but instead, send the love from above. Let's start connecting with everyone around us. Friends! Let's put down our smartphones and lift up our hands!"

Because I love my city, and most of my album was produced out and about in this lovely city that people call Minneapolis :)
It will always have a  place in my heart <3

Minneapolis (Intro Edit)

This was such a fun one to make. I randomly received a message on my fan page from a girl named Mary Sue asking me to turn her song into EDM. She sent it in November. I checked it a month later, and unbeknownst to me, it was some of the best vocals I have ever worked with. I think you'll like what we did ;)
Enjoy!

**My Fourth Album, Exit Chrysalis drops 1/23/15 on Beatport and 2/20/15 on all other download stores! Get psyched! Here are some previews!**

"I am one of the only people in the world who makes Christian 2.0 Trance and Tropical House. I am heavily influenced by David Thulin, Above and Beyond, Arty, Double V, and Seven Lions.
My tracks have gained support from Paul Van Dyk, Markus Schulz, Double V, and more!
If G-d is glorified, that's what I care about. I always love everyone and believe that people are what make the world go round."
