[item value="10"]Matt Fax - Axis/Sequence[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Matt Fax, a rising star in the French music scene, is a true pioneer of progressive music. His latest EP on Armin van Buuren’s Armind label showcases his ability to blend progressive elements with danceable and club-friendly rhythms. The two tracks on the EP, “Axis” and “Sequence,” are prime examples of Fax’s signature sound. “Axis” is a bouncy, big progressive stomper with a slightly funky groove, pulsating basslines, thumping kicks, and elastic drums. Distorted vocal samples and melodramatic futuristic distorted synths add to the track’s energy and excitement. After a short breakdown, the big acid layers are unleashed to hypnotize the dancefloor, building tension and anticipation until the main break arrives. The build-up is thrilling, with a sense of impending doom and release. The drop is furiously energetic, featuring acid layers, melodies, distorted vocals, and futuristic melodic techno influences. A dark, moody atmosphere envelops the track, creating an intense and immersive experience. “Sequence” is an energetic and anthemic track with a super addictive melody that gradually builds anticipation. After a long breakdown, the track bursts open into a massive climax that uplifts the spirit and keeps the hands high. It’s one of those tracks that grabs your attention from the very first note and warms your ears with its infectious energy. Overall, Matt Fax’s latest EP is a must-listen for fans of progressive music. It showcases his talent for blending complex rhythms with danceable melodies, creating tracks that are both intellectually stimulating and emotionally satisfying. #PureGold Love iT [/content]
