HOUSE REVIEW: Matt Guy - Every Little Time out on Armada Music

 


UK-hailing Matt Guy has spent the past two years honing a ‘90s-nostalgia-infused sound, attracting the attention of dance music tastemakers at home and beyond. With ‘Every Little Time’, his latest output on Armada Music, the DJ and producer solidifies his position as a front-runner in the global house scene.


Prompted by a deep-dive into ‘90s samples, Matt Guy’s fourth release on Armada Music offers the signature nostalgia the world of dance music has come to expect from the Nottingham-born DJ and producer. From the trademark square wave synth that outlines his artistic output to the luring build and vocal sampled from Poppers Presents Aura’s trance-leaning 1998 track of the same title, ‘Every Little Time’ has the euphoric profile to drive the contemporary house crowd into clubbing season with a profound “let’s get ravey!”
“In 2019, after seeing Marco Carola and Carl Cox in Ibiza doing a back-to-back set, I started digging through lots of ‘90s samples,” Matt Guy explained. “After spending hours and hours on YouTube, I stumbled upon ‘Every Little Time’. The vocal was an instant earworm, so I got in touch with Poppers Presents Aura, who were – luckily – excited by the idea of me cooking up some new ideas for the vocal and reworking the track. I love how old-school and ravey this track sounds, and I can’t wait for the world to have it.”
Off the back of garnering support from heavyweights including Solomun, Adam Beyer, CamelPhat, Gorgon City and many more, this track is already firmly on the wish lists of fans and DJs alike.

[item value="10"]Matt Guy - Every Little Time [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Matt Guy follows his previous successful outing on Armada with his 132 BPM rave meets house hi-nrg anthem Every Little Time. He adopts analogue style chunky basslines, thumping drums and rumbling kicks while on top he adds the well known Ibiza associated organ riff. The classic vocal seems to work a treat and will bring memories to those who loved the original back in the days. The drop is full of ravey synthy hooks and analogue feel to it! The track is a sure winner as it will make the crowd dance and feel happy on the dancefloor and gym work out classes. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
