Mate is the newest addition to the Kingsway family, and the Los Angeles-based producer has created a collection of samples that show a real understanding of music and sounds from higher levels.
Using strings, piano, guitars, a mixture of analog and soft synths, and experimental effects and techniques, each piece transports the listener to a different time period with each track, sometimes reminiscent of the gritty, buried music of the 20s and 30s, sometimes predicting futuristic sounds and tones.
Despite being relatively new to the music scene, Mate’s approach is mature and thoughtful, and his execution is impeccable. His first volume will serve as a good library entry and an exciting preview of what’s to come.
