Mat.Joe – Nighthawk – (Toolroom)

If you are looking for the true definition of disco-tech, look no further because Mat.Joe have surreptitiously cornered the market. It courses with a bassline as thick as blood, is lifted by a vocal loop that haunts every bar and broods, then growls with a buzzing sustained bassline and filtered string loop. It’s wild enough to swoop over your head, trail its claws through your hair and tame enough to settle on your arm. Dosem sees it in monochrome – repainting the picture in shades of grey, adding splashes and tones of white and a heart of darkness.
