REVIEW: Matt Lange - That Much Higher / Nutclap out on Anjunadeep

Matt Lange - That Much Higher
Matt Lange - Nutclap

A star performer on Anjunadeep this year, Matt Lange continues his 2011 trailblazing with his fourth release on the label - following tracks like the brilliant "Rift" and his Above & Beyond-endorsed "Bad Year Blimp".

Showing off a more twisted side to his musical character, this latest single kicks off with the glitchin', clicking tech-house groover "That Much Higher".

Leading with twitchy tech tweaks and cyborg bass growls, "That Much Higher" keeps shifting through the gears before leading into a deeply musical and beautifully leftfield breakdown - even dropping into a smooth breakbeat section. Balancing irreverent musicality with dancefloor intensity, "That Much Higher" is arguably Lange's most innovative Anjunadeep outing yet.

Another inventive tech track, "Nutclap" takes a twisted, percolating tech groove and unravels it over 6 gloriously deep and hypnotic minutes. Lange's innovation goes further still as he samples the sound of c racking walnuts to punctuate the entire track and give it its name.



Dimitri Kechagias review: Anjunadeep continues the support of inventive and fresh sounding tracks with the brand new EP by Matt Lange that is going to blow you away totally and utterly out of your head. Get ready for a mysterious colorful magical journey with tracks that incorporate sounds and influences in the best possible way. That Much Higher is cool slow mover that grooves and shakes untill to land within that outstanding melodic breakdown when this Chinese like melody appears to create a wonderful soundscape. Suddenly the melodic breakdown stops and the tech house beat continues naked and tough. After a while the melodic theme comes back to lead us on the outro of track really blissfully. Nutclap uses a much more clubbier stompier beat that sounds perfect for those ultra large moments of your dj set. Its definitely darker, colder, more mechanical and definitely more tech minded. Matt Lange once again surprise us and open our musical horizons.
