Following the recent success of his Starting Over EP on Belgian tastemakers Curle, Matt heads home to Off-key to release his strongest work to date.

First track 'Bloom' whispers sweet nothings in your ears while shimmering synths caress your neck and skipping percussion dances around your groin. Unable to resist, you let yourself go and 'Without Warning' spikes your drink, drags you into a filthy warehouse rave and leaves you grinning maniacally under a flickering strobe light.

Another remix I did for long time friend Alien. Can't remember what the original tracks is called (sorry Al). Since it's unlikely to see a release any time soon, here it is, for good or ill. Well, I like it anyway. :-)

Alien - ??? (Matt OBriens 'Broke Machine' Remix)

Matt O’Brien returns to the Off-key Industries label with this diverse slice of underground engineering, spanning the entirety of rave’s connective tissue. From ocean-deep analog workouts that wouldn’t be out of place in a classic John Carpenter horror, to pristine & hypnotic dub house sparkling up from the abyss, this EP highlights Matt’s virtuosity in multiple genres, but always with the same signature warmth and depth.

“Delicate Ambiguity” sees a fragile melody wind its way out of smog-like miasma of reverberating industrial bass, evoking a future past, reminiscent of krautrock innovators such as Neu! and Monoton, a dark slice of cinematic, electronic soul. A soundtrack for the best film you’ve never seen.

“It’s Deeper than you think” takes a left turn into hypnagogic deep house territory with slivers of glinting metallic stabs floating on a sea of pulsating bass and sculpted 4/4 beats, serving as a counterpoint to "Delicate Ambiguity's" Mariana Trench depths.

“To The Break Of Day And Beyond” returns to a mournful reflective, meditative space, with mellifluous synths sparkling under smeared analog drones, gradually giving way to explosive breakbeats & sub bass, reminiscent of some of Carl Craig’s most innovative rhythmic work, bringing the EP to a shuddering close.
