The yearly Matroda EP drop has become dance music’s most reliable dopamine hit. On “Late Night Talks,” the Croatian tech house architect doesn’t just meet expectations – he demolishes them with seven weapons-grade club tools, including three previously unheard bangers.
The collection plays like a perfectly programmed club night. “Britney” (with Dances) and the Martin Ikin collab “4U” (already a Beatport #1) set the tone with festival-tested muscle. The new additions prove equally lethal: “Came To The Club” delivers understated groove, “Down” serves retro house realness, and “Naughty Sax” injects Latin brass into the tech house template.
It’s fitting that a producer who cut his teeth on Led Zeppelin and Sinatra before dominating EDC Vegas and Ushuaia Ibiza would drop something this versatile. Between “When The Bass Kicks In” with its seductive vocal work and “Hangin’ On” straddling radio and rave appeal, Matroda’s proving why the “matrodasound” has everyone from Diplo to DJ Snake paying attention.
“Late Night Talks” isn’t just another tech house EP – it’s a masterclass in club construction.
