Deeprhythms

Many of you know Matthew through his excellent label Limestone Recordings, a label that is deeply rooted in jazz, soul, and dub, while based on the foundation of house. You could describe the mix he recorded for us in the same way. I’ve had this mix for at least a month and while it has been on heavy rotation, I just haven’t found the time to publish it – BUT here it is, at last!
Heavy basslines and deep beats lay the foundation for this mix while hints of jazzier elements take it to the next level. The mix is very intense. It grabs your attention right from the beginning and doesn’t let go until the last chords slowly fade away. I’m loving it. It also includes his original tracks.
His philosophy: “When I start putting together a mix I basically pick out music I want to listen to and then find songs that fit with them. That’s why there is always something new and old. I’ll listen to a song and say, “oh I bet this track would go great with this.” When I first started the series I re-edited most of the music that was in the mix. Some had longer intros, longer outros, or a part of the song was taken out to create the feeling I wanted. Now with the looping capability of most cd players I can do that on the fly. I feel if your trying to create a constant groove that flows from one track to another certain things need to be dropped in at specific times in the mix while still keeping your mix improvisational.”
