MAT.JOE – BROTHERS IN CRIME (MOTHER RECORDINGS)

Next up on one of the most consistent labels of the day is Berlin pair Mat. Joe. They are assured house music makers who always come up with the goods for one of the labels they work with most, namely Mother Recordings. The two cuts the put out this time are once more fine affairs.
Both are different affairs, with Strawz being an effervescent effort that has tinkling toms and fat drums all run through with lively synths. It’s contemporary house music with clean lines and fresh drum fills that will make a decent noise on the floor. On the flip is Synthphony, a deep and groovy house number with gorgeous chords and wordless vocals all layered into the rhythm. A nice breakdown lets you breath before the driven deepness returns and carries you away.
