Chiavaroli, Mat - No Stranger To Madness

Nach einigen aufregenden 12 auf Quintessentials kommt nun Mat Chiavarolis erste LP No Stranger To Madness.

Following a number of exciting tunes released on the renowned Quintessentials, here comes Mat Chiavaroli’s first long-player No Stranger To Madness. Warm Fostex tape hisses and MPC swings, the guy from the Pescara hills delivers 10 tracks for both your dancing and listening pleasure. The A- and B-side tracks are drenched in dusty funk samples, gritty chords and syncopated rhythms. In Aroma De Mi Vida Mat chops obscure Rhodes riffs and layering them with more elements, just like in Whoja Vu, a heavy-sampled disco juggler very close to his previous Quintessentials releases. On the flip we find some deep chords melting with powerful gospel vocals, giving life to a track that annihilates boring dancefloors. There’s a similar vibe in Jeep Ridaz that reminisces about seminal Atavisme classics with broken detuned bits and agitated cut and pastes give a sense of randomness. The second part of this album shows Mat Chiavaroli's deeper side. Double Pain is a tune that progressively brings you to many aspects of what Mat loves: saturated female vocals stick out while gloomy chords gently develop. Storia Losca has a slightly different attitude with a huge synth presence, live percussion and dreamy pianos.
