Meanwhile co-owner, Matter, makes his solo debut for the rapidly rising label via the unique musical triptych of ‘Amanita’.
From his Melbourne home, Matty Doyle has generated a tsunami of success through his Matter production moniker. Able to point to a release portfolio with over 400 production credits to his name, such esteemed imprints as Balance, Anjunadeep, BeatFreak Recordings and Proton Music have all played host to his much sought-after music.
Now creating a new narrative for his unrivalled talents within his co-owned Meanwhile label, alongside fellow countryman, GMJ, ‘Amanita’ is redolent in trademark production features that have seen Matter is such high demand. A smooth blend of rolling percussive groove, heavy beat and cavernous bassline propel the title track forward with unrelenting pace, as a filtered arpeggio adds to the aural melange. A glorious synth lead enters the fray at the mid-point breakdown before a rousing wall of sound marks a club-friendly zenith before the track builds once more with its star-studded cast of musical characters.
The heavy beat and white-noise washes of ‘Hikikomori’ provide a weighty anchor, allowing an immaculately programmed bassline groove to weave its path between four-to-the-floor rhythm and offbeat hi-hat shuffle. A heavily delayed synth line adds a touch of class as it ripples across the seven-minute piece with ease, providing subtle introspection and emotive layers in abundance. The result is a head-shaking groover that is sure to the take dancefloors by storm into 2021.
A pulsating, running bassline immediately characterizes ‘Wormhole’ as it dynamically develops, courtesy of an intelligently placed melodic variation that provokes a spine-tingling emotion in the listener. An array of percussive shakers and chest-thumping kick create a spellbinding sonic palette, while a free-flowing synth line drenched in reverb and delay adds to the emotion playing off the filtered and now staccato bassline phrase. Creating a flawlessly executed progressive house anthem, Matter has once again demonstrated why his production work draws such high praise from fans and peers alike.
Within a career that continues to mushroom at impressive pace, ‘Amanita’ exhibits all the qualities that sees Matter very much flavour of the month, repeatedly.
