UPFRONTBEATS

Hot on the heels of their last outing on the label back in October, MAT.JOE are back on their regular MOTHER RECORDINGS label. This time the acclaimed Berlin duo serve up two more sizzling house cuts that are guaranteed to make a big impact. Germans MAT.JOE have been taste making producers and DJs for a while now. They release on fine labels like Hot Creations, Toolroom and Gruuv but save their best for Mother, as is the case again here.

The first cut is JUNGLE FEVER, a slick and atmospheric affair with silvery and slithering percussive loops, deep and rubbery drums and the sort of emotive female vocals that really send crowds wild. Clever effects and lovely, glossy melodies and vocal chants add a summery, humid feel and all in all it makes for a sure fire winner.

The flip is MUSIC ON, a more boisterous jam with pinging toms and kicks bounding about with tons of energy below. Another expert vocal sample really adds flame to the fire and lots of subtle FX and filter tweaks really make this one jump out of the speakers. House music never sounded so fresh!

All in all, this EP finds both MOTHER RECORDINGS and MAT.JOE in fine form once again.
