Bright Night Citylights EP

The ninth release from the Mainrecords shop, on itʼs eponymously titled label comes in the form of three tracks of slick late night electro from Matt Star, plus a remix from Perseus Traxx. With well over three dozen releases under his belt in one guise or another Matt Star
aka Mattias Schildger is no stranger at all to production of high quality electronic music, as this latest EP clearly displays. Happily blurring boundaries between house and electro, with itʼs tight, crisp beats the release exudes a form of stripped back and honest late night cool with basses that bubble in a way sometimes reminiscent of Ed DMX, while others lend more of a Chicago feel accompanied by rolling toms. Synth lines and arpeggiations cut in and out of subtle modulations giving the feel of anticipation one gets while tearing along the motorways of a city, late at night, the lights of the city and other vehicles brightly darting by, streaking and reflecting across the carʼs windscreen. Perseus Traxx delivers a subtle remix that remains true to the elements of the original and while adding a booming kick and some of his own production techniques, influences and grit to the mix, shows he isnʼt stuck in one genre or sound.
