MATPRI Vinyl & CDs

Review: We're fully signed up fans of the work that Hedzup has been doing. It's a house label that works at the electronic end of the spectrum and likes to bring in weird and wonderful sound deigns next to their high speed beats. This new VA is a great window into their world for first timers, or another essential 12" for those already in the know. JNJS's 'Two Girls' is perfectly colourful and vibrant stuff with retro touches and future feels, Vern's 'Sunlake' is a nice cosmic cruise and Enzo Leep and Matpri on the flip both keep the silky and seductive sounds coming thick and fast.

Review: Matpari kicks off the brand new Eject label's first vinyl drop with a strong statement of minimal and tech house intent. His mastery of groove is laid bare on the smooth and super cool vibes of 'Portmone' which hints at a love of, or at least respect for, early tech house innovators and West Coast pioneers of the 90s. 'Vtorichka' is more dark and dubby, with heads-down drums and freaky sound effects. 'Izlesa' then gets full freaky with its spun-out synths, wonky lines and unhinged percussion. Last of all, 'Portmone' (Nolga remix) ups the ante with a more full-fat house sound that charges on with nice dusty hits.
