Anjunabeats is pleased to welcome back visionary artist Mat Zo for the release of a new EP that celebrates his unpredictable nature as a producer. ZOCASE EP comprises three brand new productions that explore all corners of dance music yet remain distinctly Mat Zo.
ZOCASE EP
The ZOCASE EP is an extraordinary release packed with exciting, cutting-edge sounds. In typical Mat Zo fashion, he plays by his own rules, and none of the three tracks is under eight minutes long. The opening track, ‘Relic Of The Future, ’ kicks off with a spaced-out groove before launching into a full-out Progressive House and Breakbeat explosion.
‘Bluish Yellow’ starts subtly with a bed of 303s before a brooding kick drops in. It’s a cut that has been played at a number of Mat Zo shows for the past two years, including iconic venues like The Gorge Amphitheater in Washington State & Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles.
‘This Too Shall Pass’ wastes no time to get started; it’s banging Techno from the get-go. A sublime stutter-effect synth line takes center stage, adding beauty contrasting with the brooding beats. In true Mat Zo fashion, this first ZOCASE EP is a truly genre-less display.
About Mat Zo
Mat Zo is one of Anjunabeats’ most celebrated artists, with tracks such as ‘Easy’ (with Porter Robinson), ‘Rebound’ (with ARTY), ‘The Sky’ and ‘Superman’ capturing the imagination of the masses. His GRAMMY-nominated debut album, Damage Control, released in 2013, gave Mat’s avant-garde approach to production its full expression. Featuring break-out hit ‘Easy’, the track took Mat mainstream: a BBC Radio 1 A-List addition, Sirius XM BPM listing, a #1 Billboard Heatseeking record, an Essential Mix of the year nomination, and, ultimately, a GRAMMY nomination for best dance and electronic recording. His latest studio album, Illusion of Depth, released on the label in October 2020. The album has garnered over 25 million streams. Moreover, it produced the singles ‘The Next Chapter,’ ‘Problems,’ and ‘Colours,’. The latter, of which played in the soundtrack for the 2021 racing video game Forza Horizon 5.

He also launched his new ZOCASE project at Aures in London in front of 200 super-fans, where he displayed new live visuals & music. This concept toured across North America. And,it will be present at New York City’s famed Irving Plaza on Friday, December 6.
Mat Zo recently performed at Belgium’s Rampage Festival (Drum & Bass) and released a new EP on VISION Recordings. The one, which featured in Spotify’s Bassline Bangers.
