Mixerr Album Reviews #2,097

The Early Reflections EP is one of the earlier works from the electronic DJ duo Mateo & Matos ‎which is considered to be one of their lesser known releases. The electronic DJ duo marked their entry into New York City’s burgeoning electronic music scene with this EP. Only this EP is uses more house oriented sounds than electronic. Now this EP is a classic many will enjoy. The duo will make you want to dance with the deep house sound that is on this EP.

Dancin' uses a percussion loop sample over infectious groovy bass over house styled beats. A set of bongos are also used. The song is perfect for the dance floor. For those who are wonder what the vocal sample says, “Dancin/let the music make you/I let the music make you/I let the music make you high”

Evolution uses a small ensemble of Afrocentric drums which consists of bongos, congas, timbales, and steel drums over processed bass that is noticeably filtered. The heavenly synths you hear 3 minutes into the song are filtered by an amp. Evolution uses a more deep electronically processed sound as the volume and production are set to a higher standard than the other songs that are on this EP.

House music meets soul on the song Soul Groove hence the soulful influence.

I rate this EP 5/5*****!!
