Frankfurt’s Matthias Vogt has assembled quite the back catalogue over the past decade, from his timeless work as one half of Motorcitysoul on Aus Music and Freerange Records, to the six albums released by his popular jazz ensemble [re:jazz].
Matthias now teams up with London label Anjunadeep for a string of releases, kicking off with the ‘Seven Summits EP’ which has picked up early DJ support from Dixon, Tensnake and Dusky. Featured on the #1 iTunes Dance compilation ‘Anjunadeep 07’, title track ‘Seven Summits’ is a wistful trip through mystic melodies and haunting soundscapes, deftly blending delicate production with raw emotion.
Growing from sparse strings and jaunty keys, ‘Schwarzbach’ is another piece of subtle melodic house, flowing through elegant atmospherics before swelling to an understated crescendo.
‘Can We All Be Still’ takes a leftfield turn; a beautiful downtempo track built around a simple stabbing bassline and ethereal meditative vocals from Pete Josef.

Dimitri Kechagias review: Anjunadeep is considered as one of the most classy, eclectic, cool and most forward thinking record labels around with golden releases only. The latest Seven Summits EP by the German underground hero Matthias Vogt proves that this label has an ear for anything that is unique and stands out from the noise out there. Seven Summits is deep melodic tech house beauty with vintage synths and magical relaxing breakdown with orchestral strings, ambient noises and distorted vocals along with sweet xylophone melodies. Hypnotic, dreamy, smooth and open minded production that shows that the only limit for music composers is their own creativity and commitment. Schwarzbach starts with vintage guitar melodies and cinematic strings while underneath xylophone melodies, slow minimal grooves, deep moody basslines and cool percussion keep the soundwaves floating and the magical journey absorbing and mind challenging. Last track is the relaxing Can We All Be Still featuring the outstanding vocals by Peter Josef that will manage very easily to win your attention and cast a spell on you. Great lyrics and great voice along with the beautiful melodies and relaxing smooth groove makes this track the absolute winter warmer along with your apple and cinnamon warming afternoon tea! #PureGold Love It
