Acclaimed Radiophonic Workshop collaborator and Brighton-based electronic producer MATTHS (Matt Hodson) presents dark, brooding and extreme techno productions that boast brutality within the breadth of the production aesthetic.My first release in 2019 presented the two stunning, atmospheric soundscapes ‘Velocet’ and ‘Loop’ which both immediately captivate the listener, released on FatCat Records’ sub label FCR with a more psychedelic techno vibe.Recent MATTHS performances include opening for Wire; supporting Alex Banks (Monkeytown and Mesh Records), Lonelady (Warp Records), Ulrich Schnauss and Rival Consoles (Erased Tapes). MATTHS has also played alongside Daniel Miller and Schneider TM as well as working with the original BBC Radiophonic Workshop on their new material at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios."Worth comparing to Jon Hopkins or even Max Richter's more up front work, the Brutalist electronics have a crunching, percussive feel. The layered track has an organic flourish, with MATTHS displaying an astute awareness of the way blocks of sound can interlink. Aural architecture, 'Velocet' fuses this cerebral quality to a deeply physical need for the impact sound can have. "- CLASH MAGAZINE“Rolled out in the chromatic wake of Ali Berger’s 303 session, Matths builds up a head of cosmic techno steam akin to a harder edged Border Community cut with the astral trajectory of ‘Loop’, then brings it down to a low flying night-flight with ‘Velocet’.” - BOOMKAT
