Mattias Herrera – Naeza [-102°C]

The latest release from -102C welcomes Mattias Herrera to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Argentina, Mattias Herrera first emerged in 2020 with a release via Balkan Connection's United division, following years of perfecting his craft under the guidance of Claudio Cornejo (Analog Jungs) and Ezequiel. Arias. Success came quickly thereafter for the La Rioja resident, as only a few short months later progressive house icon Nick Warren signed an EP project from Mattias to his highly regarded The Soundgarden imprint. Also finding a home on 3rd Avenue, Droid9, Freegrant Music, One Of A Kind and more, Mattias now steps up to -102C for his label debut entitled 'Naeza'.

Title track 'Naeza' captivates immediately with it's long atmospheric intro, perfectly building anticipation and drama across a near three minute stretch as the beats eventually drop and a wonderful percussive journey begins. Soulful motifs create a gorgeous colour as the first act smoothly segues into a swirling break and balmy finale. Selection two 'We Trust' follows with a slight tempo increase and an equally impressive array of percussive elements. Exotic and detailed, their clattering meditative drawl blankets a warm, well spaced groove and pixie-like fragments for a proper daytime dance floor journey. Continuing on an organic sensibility is the EP's closer 'Cayman', which again carries a gentle hip-swinging cadence, along with a gorgeous complement of melodic elements. Perhaps the most reflective sounding of the three, it puts a resounding stamp on one of Mattias' best releases date, while -102C adds another creative talent to their roster. Highly recommended.
