New music from Mattr

Mattr (aka Matthew Clugston) is a leftfield house, breaks, and techno producer originally from Birmingham, now living in London. With residencies dating back to his hometown at Code with Steve Lawler as well as supporting gigs for Sasha & Danny Tenaglia, Mattr shared decks with the likes of Tale of Us & Jamie Jones before hosting his own events with fellow innovator Alex Banks as well as Maxxi Soundsystem, and XXXY, to name a few.

It was from there that he made the move to Berlin to study music production & performance and where he’d form a friendship with label partner, Max Winstanley (Lewyn Stan) who he paired up with to launch their Helical Scan imprint.

After years honing his sound, Matthew went on to release his first album along with several other productions on Faceless Recordings, Ozono, and CRR, garnering support from Amé, Guy Gerber, Anja Schneider, Nick Warren, Rodriguez Jr, & the legendary Laurent Garnier.

25 years after first cutting his teeth DJing tech house & breaks, Mattr’s broad musical palette often draws him closer to the more emotive side of electronic music, finding deep resonance with forward-thinking artists like Max Cooper, Jon Hopkins, Tourist, Overmono, Fourtet, Phon.O and Radioactive Man, whom you’ll hear plenty of in his consistent & beautifully diverse mix series.

He’s now just released a new EP, titled Celadon, via the Loft & Sound imprint. Lifted from the new EP is the track “Magenta”, a beat-driven experimental electronic piece.

With “Magenta”, Mattr delivers his trade-mark rhythmic sound brimming with whirring and layered synth instrumentation to create an energetic and engaging track.
