Mathame Unleash Highly-Anticipated Hit “Discovery Channel”
Critically acclaimed Italian emo-tech duo Mathame officially unleash their highly-anticipated single, “Discovery Channel” via Republic and Casablanca Records. The collaboration with
Lyke arrives hot on the heels of the duo’s high-octane performances during ADE where they tantalized fans with the explosive track, making it a staple in their sets throughout the week.
“For us, despite the seemingly light-hearted nature of the original track, it’s one of the most profound memories from our adolescence. It was the golden age of MTV, and The Bad Touch was one of the first music videos we ever saw. Beneath the humor and the energy, we always felt there was this dark, hypnotic melancholy lurking underneath. So, when Lyke suggested we work on it, it was almost instinctive—it felt so natural to bring out that darker tone we had always sensed. The track came together in just a few days, like it had been waiting for us to transform it. From the
very first moment, we knew we were onto something special. It immediately became a hypnotic, magical piece in our sets, a constant feature that captures the crowd every time. It was magical from the start.” – Mathame
The track’s pulsating beat immediately plunges listeners deep into the throws of Mathame’s innovative spirit, as the driving bassline sets an infectious rhythm and promises an unparalleled sonic journey. The track is driven forward with an instantly recognizable lyrical sample from Bloodhound Gang’s “The Bad Touch,” that bursts with nostalgia and adds a viscerally addictive layer to the track.
“Discovery Channel” showcases Mathame’s technical prowess and boundless vitality as they continue to breathe new life into tracks of other genres and decades. The hard hitting masterpiece unleashes a euphoric wave of sound, inviting listeners across the globe to dive deep into the duo’s effervescent vision as they continue to carve out a unique space for themselves and push the limits of the genre. “Discovery Channel” is out now on all mayor streaming platforms.
