Coromandel / Te Tara o Te Ika based sound artist and bass music producer Matt Rapid releases his new single: Follow Me, a syncopated breakbeat and bass exploration.
Follow Me is the first single from Matt Rapid this year. After a summer of festival performances on large outdoor sound systems, he has been creating new music inspired by the flex of big subs, wide open space, and dancing in all different directions. Follow Me begins with a lush wobbly vocal line floating over a sci-fi soundscape, launching into weird, syncopated breakbeats and building to fast breaks over pulsing subs: It’s a real late-night mover.
Matt Rapid is the Bass music alias of sound artist and sonic explorer Matt Sephton. Based in Coromandel Town and frequently travelling as a roaming sound engineer. Sephton incorporates field recordings and found sounds into his music, captured during his adventures around Aotearoa and overseas on his trusty field recorder. Inspired by the likes of Amon Tobin, Bonobo, Dom & Roland, and music closer to home: Paige Julia, Zuke and Dylan C.
Drawing inspiration from our natural environment, especially the ocean where he spends much time floating, he brings this sense of energy, freedom and playful exploration to the raw power of bass music.
