The somewhat nomadic Matt Karmil has been producing and DJing under many aliases and in many forms for years, but this year he looks set to emerge as one of the UK finest talents already receiving support form the likes of Axel Boman and Kompakt Records.

March sees Matt release his first EP of the year ‘So You Say (Dirty Tape Heads Mix) / Wheel’ on Tim Sweeney’s brilliant imprint Beats in Space. We first heard So You Say back in August during Tim Sweeny’s set at Flow Festival in Helsinki, Its a sweeping disco number that transforms into acid house heaven with a euphoric 303 bassline and hypnotic groove throughout, a true gem in every sense.

Released on limited edition 12” on March 18 and on various digital formats on April 1

This one is out February 3rd!

Matt Karmil "You Boil" - Boiler Room Debuts

Keinemusik Radio Show by Matt Karmil 13.03.15

Danish music-maker @KasperBjorke is swiftly becoming one of the hottest prospects in the electronic music world. He's just followed up last year's excellent album After Forever with a further LP, filled with remixes of tracks from the 2014 effort, catchily titled After Forever Revisited. This new album features remixes from @Colder_music , following his return to making music after a rather lengthy spell on the sidelines. To celebrate the album's release, we asked the pair to go head to head with the questions to help clear a few things up and open some doors.

If that weren't enough for you, we're also providing you with the first chance to hear @Mattkarmil 's remix of 'Into Smithereens'. You lucky bleeders. So sit yourself back and read on as Kasper Bjorke and Colder go Artist To Artist; http://www.theransomnote.co.uk/music/interviews/artist-to-artist-kasper-bjorke-colder/

Ishivu - Gryning (Matt Karmil Remix)

Over the past two years, Matt Karmil has dealt a number of masterstrokes. If his various appearances on Yumé, BiS, and Mule Musiq haven't flagged up on your radar, his forthcoming outing on Studio Barnhus deserves your undivided attention.

The EP's lead-track 'Moment' hardly needs our co-sign. It's already been the high watermark of DJ Koze's sets this summer. It was the parting gift that Axel Boman left Beats in Space in his last podcast. When we received it back in July, it was only shared between Barnt, Koze, Ada and the Barnhus family itself. After two months, we're falling over ourselves to give you the exclusive.

Dive in — there aren't enough superlatives.

Matt Karmil "Moment" - Boiler Room Debuts

Buy/Stream: https://Anjunadeep.lnk.to/Lost
Release Date: 27th May 2016

2015 was a seminal year for Joe Ashworth, with the release of his debut artist album ‘Grain’ on respected London imprint Needwant. Earning widespread support from leading tastemakers John Digweed, Anja Schneider, George Fitzgerald, Jonas Rathsman, B. Traits, Mano Le Tough and Detroit Swindle, as well as acclaim from the likes of DJMag, making it into their coveted Top 20 album list of 2015.

‘Lost’ is the follow up to last years Anjuandeep fan favourite ‘Rebound / Whatever Weather’, a double-sided melodic gem featuring an epic original mix as well as a stripped-back rework from rising UK talent Matt Karmil. The original mix combines subtle textures and bouncing grooves with a show-stopping melodic breakdown, swirling through cinematic soundscapes and sparkling arpeggios. A big dancefloor moment.

Matt Karmil has stormed the underground in recent times, with two acclaimed artist albums under his belt in the past 12 months, championed by the likes of Boiler Room, XLR8R and Resident Advisor. Combined with his memorable remixes for Kompakt, Freerange and Studio Barnhaus, it’s no wonder he’s been supported by the likes of DJ Koze and Michael Mayer. Karmil’s remix of ‘Lost’ expertly highlights the fluidity and maturity of his production, blending sparse atmospherics with the bright and emotive sentiments of the original.

Tracklist

Groove Podcast 58 - Matt Karmil

The packet glared out at him from the shelf. It glowed with radiant colour and delight, he could practically taste the texture of what lay deep inside. His mouth began to water and he bubbled with excitement. It was a sunkissed dream, a tangy twist of spectacular proportions. The pleasure which he would soon retain from the taste of what lay within the silver lined paper would keep him awake for hours. Juicy fruit was the name of the game, the only one in town... It would be his. 

Matt Karmil appears amongst a diverse array of company on the anniversary compilation from Hypercolour. In celebration of ten year's as a label they have invited the likes of Matthew Herbert, Roman Flugel, Luke Vibert to appear on a 16 track release. Matt Karmil contributes with "Juicy Fruit".

PREMIERE: Matt Karmil - Juicy Fruits [Hypercolour]

British producer Matt Karmil has spent the past decade bouncing between different European cities, but his nomadic ways certainly haven't hindered his creative spirit. On his latest album 'Will,' which is set for release via Smalltown Supersound on April 27, Karmil explores restrained, fuzz-laden soundscapes that make nods to the dancefloor without bludgeoning anyone over the head. Before the LP's official arrival, we debuted the restrained grooves of "Morals" on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

FACT mix 658 - Matt Karmil (June '18)

British-born nomad Matt Karmil never stays in one place too long, and that restless nature also defines much of his genre-hopping output. Fresh off the release of his largely ambient 'Will' album on Smalltown Supersound, Karmil has cued up a new, dancefloor-ready 'Sourced' EP for Aus Music. Ahead of its release on August 17, we debuted the emotive chords and shuffling groove of the record's title track on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

After presenting Dam Swindle’s sophomore album High Life in 2018, we felt it was the right time to serve you up a tasty selection of remixes from all over the world and all over the sound palette. We’ve got some dub and boogie from Australia and the Netherlands, classic deephouse from Detroit, dark and dreamy deephouse from the UK and some high energy house from Germany. This set of remixes comes from 5 artists we hold in high regard and have made a serious impact on their part of the scene; some recently and some already a long time ago.

We invited Dutch techno -plot twist alert!- legend Steve Rachmad to come up with a re-interpretation of ‘Yes, no, maybe (feat. Tom Misch)’. His Sterac Electronics remix actually has nothing to do with techno but is an uplifting modern boogie version of the already funky original. Glimmering electronics, some added harmonics and a tight 80’s groove is what this version is all about. 

The A2 is reserved for Cinthie, who took the high energy afro funk track ‘Call of the wild (feat. Jungle by Night)’ and turned it into a full on house frenzy with solo’s all around and a groove that just keeps on going and going. 

The A side is completed with a remix by Jura Soundsystem, who has impressed many of us with his balaeric influenced synth-boogie, and dub on his own label ‘Isle of Jura’. Here, he chose to remix ‘High life (feat. Lorenz Rhode)’ and has done an excellent job in re-imagining the track into a tamed down, dreamy dub.

On the flip, there’s Matt Karmil’s take on one of the album’s beatless tracks ‘Ketama gold’. He goes in deep with some dusty drums and an arrangement that keeps on building and building, keeping the chord sequence from the track’s outro as a main loop and adding subtle FX, toms and acid hits and a final delivery where electronic cowbells up the energy level by a notch or two. 

We finish off the compilation with a moody deephouse re-interpretation of ‘Ex machina’ by Detroit legend Gari Romalis. The twisted machine funk of the original is craftfully replaced by a dusty house loop, dreamy pads and smart usage of the original’s drum effects to build momentum. 

This remix package brings a lovely new chapter into the story of ‘High Life’ and we hope you’ll enjoy these reworks as much as we do.
Yours Sincerely, 

Maarten & Lars.
