Matthew Dexter

Damn proper modern, earthy, psy induced techno / trance cross over. This marks the third release on Matthew Dexter's own Swiss label subplanet. Deep-psy, prog tech and tribal techno with atmospheric ambient closer on B2. Good stuff for dancing barefoot to.

Dexter continues to navigate the liminal space between techno's mechanistic pulse and trance's hypnotic drift. Moment of Contact trades in the kind of grounding, organic sonics that feel necessary right now - earthy pads, tribal percussion, and synth work that breathes rather than locks.

Three tracks across the 12. The A-side establishes the framework: deep, progressing, deliberately paced. B1 leans further into the tribal elements whilst maintaining momentum. B2 steps back entirely, closing with ambient textures that feel like the comedown nobody wants to miss. Subplanet's third outing is solid work from an artist who knows what he's doing.
