Overall Score

A producer who's recent spate of releases has earned him legendary status amongst the Progressive scene's loyal thanks to a steadily exceptional range of outstanding, forward-thinking releases, Matt Fax is back with his newest EP offering.

As is to be expected with modern Matt Fax releases, the Frenchman's latest collection offers a truly engrossing journey into the endlessly pleasing youngster's atmospheric & driving sound. Kicking off with the explosion that is 'Dark Woods', Fax delivers a sensationally crisp piece of dynamic, building melodies, and trademark atmospheric layering around classic, nostalgic Trance leads.

Next up is the unique 'Echo' where prowess is shown in abundance - here's a flowing, melodic & breath-takingly inventive progressive builder, with addictive break-beat intricacies, acting as a perfect bridge in this EP.

Finally 'Ghost Stories' brings a euphoric anthem to close things off. Filled with traditional Matt Fax piano surrounded by effortless chords & atmospheres, 'Ghost Stories' delivers a aptly anthemic finale to the Frenchman's latest body of work.

There's no stopping Matt Fax right now.

Summary

Matt Fax is a truly versatile producer with excellent abilities to deliver magic in his progressive house anthems and now to move in the progressive trance territory with 3 brilliant tracks that will be adored and explored. Dark Woods is the more en-thrilling and highly infectious with perfect synthy hooks and massive proglifting climax right for the mainstage. Echo is servicing a magnificent melodic hook while in the break there is even a short trap like sequence with playful tripping out sounds. Lastly Dark Woods as the title suggests manage to be big room, proglifting, highly euphoric but very melancholic, moody and dark at the same time. Excellent piano chords, warm feel good synthy melody that u will remember for long followed by explosive jump to the sky style climax to die for! This is Class A material! #PureGold Love iT
