After having released on AEON and Roam Recordings, Franz Matthews returns home on his HIFI/LOFI imprint by releasing his Symmetric Dance EP, showing us once more how the producer likes to play with the codes of House, Space Disco, and Indie Dance by intertwining them and turning them into his very own secret sauce.

The trip starts with the eponymous Symmetric Dance, where a faster-than-usual Franz brings us into the groove with a deep bass line supporting the words of a sort of musical guru, leading you (yes, you.) progressively into the ecstatic moment of the Symmetric Dance, here materialised by a catchy house-y piano part that later exploses into a festival of notes before coming back to an infamous rhythm that we dare you not to dance to. Does it feel like summer ? Yes, probably.

Moving on to Zero Gravity, we step into a fast-paced ride of cosmic synth escapades that take our vehicle on a full throttle run until it has left the launching ramp and floats into mid-air, not really knowing when or where it will land. But, just as you finished catching your breath again, you land back on earth, full speed, and navigate in the middle of another asteroid galaxy tour, taking a few Machs along the way until it is time for the next bump. Will you land back on your feet this time ? Yes, probably.

Closing the cosmic ride, the slower ‘Herbie Crashed The Party’ is a progressive burner constructed around a centre ARP2600 synth line evolving throughout the whole track and being joined by funky guitars, heady synth ornementations, and a stabby brass ensemble that opens up the door to what seems to be the ghost of an unusual guest as the party goes on, which makes us wonder if it was a good idea to let Herbie Hancock in at the party ? And again we will answer : Yes, probably.

‘Symmetric Dance’ EP - Out Sept. 20th on HIFI/LOFI Records.

 I am a Semi-Retired session cover Club Singer/Alt Punk Rockabilly/New Wave Electronic Dance Remixer/Editor/Producer/Digital artist/Foodie Travel Comfortable 🏳️‍🌈
 First off semi-retired, I sang years ago. Today, I sing and remix, edit, produce mainly for the love of the art and charity endeavors.
I try to re-imagine music working from every genre. Retired Nurse/M.A. (early years) Singing started by accident during charity work as a teenager as a nurse. As I got more proficient in the arts, my interest got more experimental on the remix/studio edit side of things. I performed under many names through the years.
To many Projects from the 1980s to today to mention. Loved being behind the scenes. Today's projects consist of fans requested underground world club exclusives. Focused on Alt Punk Dance & EDM, Latin, Club, IndieDance, New WAVE, italo house, deep house vocal styling covers and bridging all eras of music. Lucky to be able sing with producers and singers who love the art.

Peace and Love to the World. I hope my musical tributes might touch you. Some have requested alternative vintage covers enjoying the efforts. Again, this work is done in support for the original artist support them. Most my friends.
