about

Recorded between march 2007 and april 2009.
It was released on 2xLP vinyl much later, in 2013, as the first recording on Modular Machine Records:
MM_01LP - MattaMass / Cityscape - Electro Hip Hop Sessions
100 records limited edition - Double LP
Marbled translucent-black vinyl - Inside Out CMYK print 5mm spine cover - Antistatic poly lined black offset paper inner sleeves
20 instrumental tracks / 4 sides of 16 minutes / 5 tracks per side / 64 minutes total playing time

This album is inspired by my 90's past, from old school Hip Hop to Hardstep, Techstep, Detroit Electro and Dub, made with heavy vintage machines for a powerful and thick trip in the city. Made exclusively with hardware gear.

Urban tension and city structure explored through tense Hip Hop beats melted with pure analog synthesis background, filtered, mixed and mastered with analog desks, premium solid state and pushed to the limit valve processors...

The sound of the streets, the flavor of the city, with the main ingredients expressed by sound : concrete, metal, rust, tar and fog...
Definitely not a lightweight... enjoy your neighborhood.
Dedicated to soul survival in dehumanized concrete blocks & automated transportation systems.
