For his third full-length release, Matt Emonson AKA Mat/Matix has remixed and mastered a tape of his 2013-2016 creations dubbed 850, an ode to his 1997 Volvo station wagon. Moved by Larry Heards Sceneries Not Songs Vol. 1-2, Emonson has painted his own aural landscape including batches of uptempo synth funk, street soul, g-funk, and jazzy house. Toiled over for many years, this instrumental album is the sound of a young producer discovering their unique darkened west-coast sound. In Mountain Mist, a wall of drum breaks and synths give way to a soulful guitar solo. Loons takes a swing groove through dusty layers of classic 12 bit samples. Robertsons Jam is a dance floor workout of digital synth textures reminiscent of a midnight drive through the city. 850 is a nostalgic 40-minute journey to bump in the car, feel on a pair of headphones, or jam at a house party.
