When Zurichs Mathias Makau recorded his first track on Playstation 1, releases on labels like Baroque or even his own label Elastic Trax were still pure wishful thinking. Years have flown by since his first steps and we welcome him with his new EP Lions Head on Sirion Records. Minimal warm basslines, drums, percussion elements, synth surfaces and intelligently distributed accompaniment sounds, peppered with discreetly held vocals give the tracks organic warmth and a wonderful depth. Besides the two original tunes, a dub mix and remixes by are:age and Nachtaktiv round off the package wonderfully.
