Matteo Unveils Eclectic 8-Track Album “Matteo & Bro”

French DJ, producer and Chinese Man co-member, Matteo, stands as one of electronic music’s most progressive and authentic voices. Fuelled by a passion for music’s vast and eclectic spectrum, Matteo’s solo efforts have allowed him to explore his sound palette and range as an artist with unbound creativity. Now unveiling the latest addition to his flourishing back-catalogue, the talent presents his long-awaited studio album, “Matteo & Bro” – out now on all streaming platforms via his own Chinese Man Records.

Existing between the realms of electronic programming and classical composition, “Matteo & Bro” is built around artistic encounters, with the cuts journeying through soul, funk, trip hop and world music. The long player began to take shape in 2019, when Matteo met guitarist Karim Addadi and bassist Christophe Linconyang, with whom he had previously collaborated with on a film score. Shortly after, he was introduced to drummer Hugo Pollon and saxophonist, flautist and duduk (Armenian flute) player Lamine Diagne. These initial meetings opened Matteo’s eyes to the fusion of classical instrumentation with the modern sensibilities of electronic music, which sparked a real desire to position the musicians at the centre of the creative process. Subsequently, the artists gathered in Bron to compose the eponymous track; a slice of hybrid heaven which seeks to find harmony in these seemingly contrasting genres.

The album’s second cut “Prumirim” nods to Matteo’s love for its namesake Brazilian beach in Ubatuba. Mixing afrobeat and Brazilian rhythms with baile funk, the track offers the body an invitation to dance; sensual and intense. Joining Matteo on the cut is French vintage keyboard player, composer, singer and producer General Elektriks (aka Hervé Salters), who aids to bring a warm and groovy twist to the epic finale. Next up is the soft and suave “Sweet Shadows”, featuring Belgian vocalist Isadora. Tinged with R&B and soul, the enveloping melody and rhythm evoke movement and the transitions of life. Accompanied by a stunning music video – directed by Christian Volckman – it speaks of love, memories and the soft imprint we choose to keep from past relationships.
