repress 2016 , stop what you are doing right now, you have just found that record that stays with you all summer. the record to soundtrack the bbq, to gently raise the energy on a hazy evening, to baffle the midnight marauders into dancefloor destruction, to give the early morning ravers that extra kick. that one more song.
matches sets the scene alight in the early months of 2015 with this multi-faceted four track burner on arkhive london. having cut his teeth on the east london party circuit as a dj under various monikers, matches has carved a superior workout inspired by some of motor citys foremost ambassadors of dark funk. this package is a full expose of his range as a producer, starting out with some early evening swagger before easing through the gears to a climax of an altogether housier ilk.
the record is dedicated to quality house music, touching the deepest jazz realms with the song *spiritually captured* by glenn underground and on the flipside the wonderful *how i feel* by isoul8 that features the genius kaidi tatham on keyboards, licensed from the neroli records catalogue and remastered for the event. also on the b side a wild collaboration from isoul8 & ricardo miranda, a real futuristic track for the headz!
