The brotherly Italian duo Mathame takes us on a cinematic, trance-inspired adventure that encapsulates their hi-fi emo tech sound for Beatport’s Playlist of the Week.
Hi guys, this is Mathame. First of all, thanks to all of you who read this and have been or will be attending our shows. We recently started presenting our “test show,” utilizing audio and video to try and express a story. Your response has been incredible and has allowed us to go deeper and deeper with the basic idea, which is to conceive a well-rounded experience.
With this playlist, we want to share a line of ideas that are taking shape in a certain part of the electronic scene and that we are particularly enjoying. We want to bring to light the idea of cinematic experience on the dance floor, which, as it happens in our recent field “tests,” is intensified by a close relationship between audio and video. Trance rhythms, film-inspired harmonies and melodies, emo voices here and there, street vocals, almost hip hop-inspired voices that, like actors in a series, tell life stories. A new genre, perhaps?
