A producer that's managed to repeatedly capture the ears of some of the
most influential tastemakers & authorities within Dance music over
the past few years, Matt Fax's unique consistency shines as a rare modern trait in an ever-reliable producer. Impressive as this is, at just 19, Matt Fax's
potential knows no bounds. With accolades from major international
press, DJs, streaming playlisters & radio curators constantly
racking up, Matt takes the next step in his incredible journey with his
debut album, 'Contrast'.
With the exception of previously released singles 'Amnesiac', 'Close 2
U' & the BBC Radio 1 supported 'Aura Lusia', Matt Fax's first ever
LP sees a collection of completely unheard & forward-thinking
productions collated over the past 2 years. Remaining distinctly Matt
Fax - 'Contrast' effortlessly flows through seamless peaks & troughs
firmly seated in Matt Fax's Progressive roots.
From the
atmospheric & experimental like opener 'Aeolis Mons I', 'Kinetic'
& 'Landside' to more familiar driving Progressive House works like
the engrossing 'Synopia' & 'Amnesiac', where Matt's club-oriented
prowess particularly stands out, 'Contrast' delivers a truly diverse
collection of technically brilliant, authentic Matt Fax productions.
Also
featuring an impressive collection of vocal collaborators in a host of
exceptionally distinctive tracks; Krysta Youngs stars in the infectious
'The Chase', Tania Zygar's mesmerising vocals feature on the euphoric
'Everything' whilst Canadian songstress Laurell delivers a stunning
topline over the airy 'Hide'.
Closing with the sensationally crisp
'Firelight/Shadow Camp', 'Contrast' ends with an undeniable air of
optimism whilst raising the curtain on the next stage of Matt Fax's
inspiring rise.
This first promo EP includes the driving Progressive House gem of 'Synopia', the experimental 'Kinetic', and 'Everything' featuring mesmerising vocals from Tania Zygar which has already picked up support from Nicky Romero.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The magnificent French talent Matt Fax finally is going to release his first ever album Contrast. Three tracks have been out already and they are simply magical. Now is time for the first EP including three showcases of how talented and blessed is Matt Fax. Kinetic is melodic dreamy experimental chilling ambient track with nice breaks like groove and melancholic wishful type of melodies and strings giving that sweet lulaby atmosphere. Synopia is truly driving chunky prog house banger with thumping grooves, bouncy pulsating electro infused basslines and inspiring calming breakdown with rising synthy hook that takes us by the hand for the colorful climax. My beloved Tania Zygar is on vocal duties of Everything and I must confess that she stands out from the rest with her performance that has a retro playful tone. So sexy with nice attitude making the track the absolute highlight of the package. If you add on it the sweet synths and superb irresistable slightly funky groove and the melancholic piano chords in the break you can be rest assured that you just discovered #PureGold music. Love IT [/content]
