With his new single, Mat Zo has flipped the switch on a disco fever dream, fusing nostalgic electro house with contemporary production elements in a call to all dancefloor denizens.
The renowned producer’s latest is a journey to the not so distant past, firmly placing us in the heart of the early electro house heyday. Out now on mau5trap, “Disco Boy” pays homage to a time when the genre was bursting onto the scene with a sound that felt both new and exhilarating. However, his latest offering is far from a mere throwback.
Zo breathes fresh life into the classic mau5trap aesthetic and his signature attention to detail ensures that each listen reveals something new. Fans of his earlier works, as well as those new to his music, will find themselves appreciating the track’s complex interplay of old-school influences and modern flair.
“Disco Boy” opens with a familiar Zo rhythm, its industrial house drums establishing a formidable foundation. The hypnotic cadence is dotted with robotic vocal ad-libs while his meticulous production shines throughout. As he deftly layers intricate electro house elements over a bed of melodic synth pads, the resulting soundscape is a lush concoction of textures both vibrant and gritty, transporting listeners to a bygone era.
