Matole

Whatever the f**k this is. But it's hot. In between electro, EBM and prog tech - Matole's latest on Exarde sits in that restless space where strict genre boundaries dissolve. Fight the Algorithm is four tracks of angular, propulsive energy that refuses to settle into comfortable grooves, instead building intricate polyrhythmic structures over synth work that's equal parts industrial tension and progressive experimentation.

Matole crafts something genuinely disorienting here - mechanical yet organic, rhythmically complex but never precious about it. Each track unfolds with the logic of a system pushing against its own constraints, which makes the thematic weight of the title feel earned rather than conceptual window dressing. This is the kind of record that demands attention on a proper sound system; the production has space and dimension that rewards focused listening.

Exarde continues to champion artists operating at the fringes of electronic music. XRD037 lands for those who want their tech house pushing into stranger territories, their EBM less dancefloor-adjacent and more laboratory-bound.
