The next release on Unnamed & Unknown comes from up-and-coming UK artist Matt Arnold, making his label debut with ‘Move’. Accompanied by young Costa Rican talent Newball, the EP features an emphatic four-track combo that we can’t wait to share.

First comes the title track ‘More’ which bursts with upbeat energy and percussive flair. Sturdy drums and rippling percs bounce off its rhythmic sub-bass, boosted further by hooky vox and subtle melodic elements. 

‘Watcha Doing’ keeps things energetic with a shuddering groove and more emphatic drum work. An engaging roller, its terrace tech beat combines with another appealing sub-bass, bright synths and creative fills. 

Next up, ‘toasted’ takes a more nonchalant approach. More rolling drum work combines with layers upon layers of sharp percs and deep melodies, driven by roaring sub-bass, sizzling FX and catchy vox cuts.

Newball’s remix of ‘Toasted’ completes the release impressively. Driving drums and scattered percs give the track robust rippling energy, combined with pulsating bass and rich synths - bringing an interesting contrast of different characteristics to the track.

Matt Arnold’s ‘More’ EP (including Newball Remix) drops 14th October 2021 Unnamed & Unknown.

RELEASES

Landing in May on Tomi & Kesh's NoZzo Music, up and coming UK artist Matt Arnold makes his label debut with 'Beat'. Accompanied by Distance Music head honcho Bassel Darwish, the EP features an emphatic three-track combo that we can't wait to share.

'Beat' gets the EP off to an impressive start. Clean and punchy drum work kicks through a rolling bed of percs and tonal fills, interjected by catchy vox. The standout element has to be its funk-inspired melodics with strings, pads, synths and more. 

Next up, Bassel Darwish's remix strips things back and focuses on driving low-frequency elements to create a gritty underground feel. Homing in on the groove, this minimal-style roller with subtle melodics packs a punch from the bottom up. 

Last but not least, 'Yeah' introduces us further to Matt Arnold's quirky side. Breaking out of the conventional rolling Tech House blueprint to treat us to some more electronic-feeling melodic factors, it retains its underground feel whilst leaning into some more rave-inspired sounds and high-energy aspects.

Matt Arnold's Beat EP (incl. Bassel Darwish Remix) is proudly presented by NoZzo
