Liverpool based DJ & production team Matrefakt drop a heavyweight EP on Richy Ahmed’s Four Thirty Two label with the ‘Quad’ EP. French house impresario Phil Weeks delivers a first-rate remix to boot.
The duo have been making big waves over the last couple of years with releases on Sous Music, Skream’s Of Unsound Mind, Shall Not Fade and their own Attitudes To Life label, and continue their ascendency with a new release on Ahmed’s Four Thirty Two imprint.
Hi-octane piano vibes are served up on title track ‘Quad’, as the roots of Chicago house are served up on this frenetic and funky cut. ‘Instinct’ sets up a smooth and seductive vocal driven groover, whilst ‘Love 2 C’ pumps hard as chic guitar licks and choppy vox lift this jackin’ track superbly.
As founder of Robsoul Recordings, Phil Weeks has been dishing up faultless house tunes for the last two decades, becoming synonymous with the Chi-town sound that has influenced him and become the mainstay sound on his label, releasing bombs from the likes of Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak, Mike Dunn and Gemini alongside his own slammin’ productions. His remix of ‘Love 2 C’ recycles the original into a hypnotic and low-slung MPC jam
