matrixxman: nubian metropolis

Matrixxman, a beat-maker based in San Francisco, joins the ranks of Dekmantel regulars like MFO and Juju & Jordash with the Nubian Metropolis EP, a four-track effort hewn from choking synth sounds, itchy bleeps, and meaty drum programming. "Cybernetic Implant" and "System Blackout" pit bulky percussion and robust low-end against brittle robot chatter, while "Sermons" and "Siamese Twins" add a touch of cosmic energy with breaths of airy pads.
