soulful (trancey) ambient house/techno release from my favourite 'Ambient Techno' producer of the moment, released on the legendary japan label 'mulemusiq'
the debut release of malmo in sweden based producer “martinou” on mule musiq.

we loved his previous release on nous'klaer audio and turbo.

we’re strongly feeling he is one of the best upcoming producer.

there are four first class atmospheric psychedelic deep house.

hope you like it.

Martinou - Matter EP [mulemusiq]
A1: Solid Core
A2: Better Place
B1: Expanding
B2: Reality Bends

I think some here will like these two

glad to read! check out his fantastic albums Chiral (2023) and Rift (2021)

Chiral was fantastic. I put this in one of the EOY mixes last year:



Expanding my pick on this one. The melody gives me the slightest vibes of the Disco Citizen vs Tomski's remix of Chicane and Bryan Adams' Don't Give it Up. Sigh, they are in different keys or that mashup was DEFINITELY going to happen.

Expanding is pure heaven to the ears. Solid Core may even be better!!!!!!

So I came across this thread this morning and had my day made by that Expanding track. Top 10 material no question. I then took it upon myself to listen to every track posted in here, including both the albums from 2021 and 2023. I have been SLEEPING on this guy. This is an amazing producer. Never heard an album that has both amazing trance and dub techno qualities. I'm gonna be listening to this for a long time.

Solid Core is more alive than dub techno, but not one particle of chill is lost

Better Place continues, more uneventful but still atmospheric that is nice to be in

Expanding has the magic of progressive music infused within. time to really lay back and float now on the clouds.

Reality Bends is the most delicate. it does so much with so little. it might be the best of all.

this one is gets supported. 8/10

Reality Bends is fantastic, and Expanding is pure bliss. The other two are also good.

Judging by the first couple of seconds of Expanding, I was expecting a much faster, more energetic track. Some fantastic beatwork there.

Not a name I was expecting to see for a TOTW. Love Martinou, very soft gentle production. Chiral was one of my more played albums that year.
