REVIEW: Mat Zo & Porter Robinson - Easy incl remixes on Anjunabeats / MOS

Two of the world's hottest young electronic music talents combine for one of the biggest dance records in years, as Mat Zo and Porter Robinson team up for 'Easy' (Hype Machine No.1, Cool Cuts No.1, premiered on Radio 1 by Pete Tong).

Following his UK and worldwide success with 'Language', Porter Robinson is back, this time with British rising star and touring partner in crime, Mat Zo. 'Language' recently achieved Top 10 status in the UK singles chart, with incredible nationwide radio and DJ support. Tipped by Zane Lowe, Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Rolling Stone, Tiesto, Skrillex and beyond, Porter has captured the imaginations of dance music fans the world over.

Mat Zo is the hotly tipped British electronic music star championed by everyone from Pete Tong, A-Trak, and Swedish House Mafia to Skrillex, Lifelike, Above & Beyond and more. His diverse Beatport hits including 'Bipolar', 'Superman' and 'Frequency Flier', high profile global tours, collaborations with fellow talent Arty ('Mozart'), and a reputation as one of dance music's most acerbic wits has seen his star climb ever higher in the past 12 months. 2013 will see him release his debut artist album on Anjunabeats - which will cover everything from glitchy hip-hop and electronica to UK garage and big room club bangers.

'Easy' began life as a demo for Mat's album, until Porter fell in love with it during their summer tour of North America together. The solo effort turned into a collaboration, and together, Porter and Mat have created one of the most exciting crossover dance records in recent months. 'Easy' is a joint release between leading UK imprint, Anjunabeats, and the world's biggest dance music label, Ministry of Sound.

Remixes come from Andy C, Lemaitre, Modek and Botnek.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The collaboration that has taken the world of EDM by storm finally gets its full release with additional remixes and support from the biggest radio station BBC radio 1 in its A list that means many many plays during the day and sure UK Top40 placement that of course deserves it big time. Mat Zo that Anjunabeats support a lot and Porter Robinson with the megahit Language are considered to be innovators in the EDM scene with inclusion of eclectic infusions of various styles in their productions that stand out by far. Easy in its original mix is a brilliant melodic progressive house cut with powerful basslines, bouncy beats and that old school soulful vocal that brings in our mind French House hits like Music Sounds Better With You. Its highly addictive with retro touches that particularly girls love so expect the female audience to support this anthem a lot. The remix package is the finest and most innovative you can get for such a beautiful track. First of all the fans of epic progressive house sound will adore the Botnek mix. If you play mainstage sets this remix will blow the speakers and get the crowd jumping, dancing and sing a long too. Euphoric synths combined in the best possible way with punchy basslines to sweat it all out on the dancefloor or summer festival. Lemaitre remix is an interesting energetic electro house version with amazing piano chords in the breakdown and great romantic cinematic atmosphere to mesmerise your audience along the sharp electro kissed in your face basslines. Modek Bright as A Day remix is a fantastic deep retro tech house translation that injects more funk, groove and Ibiza terrace parties atmosphere to it. Last but not least the drum n bass legend Andy C adds his excellent transformation into a hard hitting version that combines drum n bass with dub step with noisey distortions, bass in your face and energy to smash the houses and neighbourhoods too. If you add on the package the great Magna animation inspired music video Easy is a megahit ready to win the hearts of many, cause to love someone that you feel attracted to is always EASY, Love iT!
