Noted as the ‘urgent outlier’, the Portugal born Berlin-based, DJ and producer Trikk’s track Mata Mata is a vicious baile funk track. Aided by the sultry vocals from Boiler Room MC Gabriel Massan, the track incorporates simple-snare and trap elements, alongside spiraling, cacophonous breakdowns. Released today via renowned Berlin imprint Innervisions, the song is a surefire hit, displaying Trikk’s creativity and producing knack.
As Massan moans and spits over the polyrhythmic drums, the invitation to dance is ever growing, the 4 minutes an enthralling ride that emphasises Trikk’s talent.
